Abstract
In a code transmission scheme for a communication system using error correcting codes, the transmitting side generates at least one transmitting side syndrome value by carrying out a syndrome calculation for the information to be transmitted, and transmits to a receiving side at least one information packet containing the information to be transmitted and at least one redundant packet containing the transmitting side syndrome value. Then, upon receiving at least a part of the information packet and the redundant packet, the receiving side obtains at least one receiving side syndrome value by carrying out a syndrome calculation for an information contained in the information packet as received, and performs error correction, if required, by calculating a difference between the transmitting side syndrome value contained in the received redundant packet. and the receiving side syndrome value, so that a circuit size and an amount of software programs can be reduced without affecting the error correction performance.
