Abstract
An optical communication system includes a signal processing apparatus and a wireless apparatus between which functions of a base station are divided, wherein a periodic symbol sequence including a cyclic prefix appended to a signal of a predetermined size to which an IFFT (Inverse Fast Fourier Transform) has been applied is transmitted between the signal processing apparatus and the wireless apparatus by means of digital RoF (Radio over Fiber) transmission, the signal processing apparatus and the wireless apparatus each include a transmission unit and a reception unit, the transmission unit includes: a compression size determination unit that acquires symbol information relating to a starting position of the symbol sequence and lengths of symbols constituting the symbol sequence, and that determines, based on the acquired symbol information, a compression size for each of symbols that are to be compressed; and a compression unit that compresses the symbol sequence in units of determined compression sizes, and the reception unit includes: an expansion size determination unit that determines an expansion size for each of symbols in the symbol sequence that are to be expanded; and an expansion unit that expands the symbol sequence in units of determined expansion sizes.
