A wireless communication system, in which a redundancy bit is transmitted from a first communication device to a second communication device when the second communication device fails to decode the encoded bits, includes a processor. The processor selects communication patterns that respectively satisfy a requested quality, calculates, for each of the selected communication patterns, a transmission data length that indicates a length of the redundancy bit, calculates, for each of the selected communication patterns, a transmission latency between the first communication device and the second communication device based on the calculated transmission data length, and generates a retransmission parameter corresponding to a communication pattern with lowest transmission latency among the selected communication patterns. The first communication device transmits the redundancy bit according to the retransmission parameter, and the second communication device decodes the encoded bits by using the redundancy bit according to the retransmission parameter.

Wireless communication system, retransmission parameter determination device and retransmission parameter report method

A low density parity check codes decoder decodes an LDPC code with an arbitrary coding rate by the same configuration. The low density parity check codes decoder enables decoding of an LDPC code constituted by a base matrix of Mbmax rows and Nbmax columns and a permutation matrix as an element of the base matrix. It stores therein Mbmax&#xd7;Nbmax validity/invalidity flags, shift amounts of valid permutation matrices, a permutation matrix size in a processing target code, and the number of rows of a base matrix in the processing target code, determined depending on a check matrix for the processing target LDPC code, and generates column addresses and a row address to be given to column processing calculation sections and a row processing calculation section that perform calculation in accordance with a BP algorithm by utilizing the stored information, so that it can process an LDPC code for a smaller base matrix than the aforementioned base matrix as well.
