Each OTUk capable of containing a client signal in a transport hierarchy signal (OTUk-Xv) is defined as a virtual container, and Y virtual lanes are allocated to respective virtual containers X, in which identification information for the allocated virtual lanes is inserted into an overhead area and a transport hierarchy multi-lane signal is transmitted in the form of OTUk-XvYd. A receiving stage extracts the identification information inserted into the overhead area of the transport hierarchy signal in the form of OTUk-XvYd, compensates for a skew of the received signals, and aligns virtual lane signals for each virtual container to restore an OTUk-Xv signal that is an original transport hierarchy signal.
