Abstract

A transmittal signal is transmitted in a forward error correction format in case the length of the transmittal signal satisfies predetermined conditions but not in a forward error correction format in case the length of the transmittal signal does not satisfy the predetermined conditions. Owing to this arrangement, a long signal susceptible to errors, can be encoded in a forward error correction format. For transmitting a short transmittal signal, wasteful consumption of transmission data capacity of a radio channel can be prevented.
