Abstract
A receiving device includes a first demodulator operable to demodulate data transmitted by at least one of a plurality of propagation paths in a first channel having transfer functions which are different from one another; a second demodulator operable to demodulate data transmitted by at least one of a plurality of propagation paths in a second channel having transfer functions which are different from one another; and a data processor operable to merge the data demodulated by the first demodulator and the data demodulated by the second demodulator.
Claims5
A receiving device, comprising:
- first demodulating means for demodulating data transmitted by at least one of a plurality of propagation paths in a first channel having transfer functions which are different from one another;
- second demodulating means for demodulating data transmitted by at least one of a plurality of propagation paths in a second channel having transfer functions which are different from one another;
- and
- data processing means for merging the data demodulated by the first demodulating means and the data demodulated by the second demodulating means,
- wherein the data processing means includes data determining means for determining a respective reception state of demodulated data from the first demodulating means and the second demodulating means by determining whether an error exists therein and by determining a state of use of each propagation path of the first and second channels based upon state of use of each propagation path indicated in a field included in the data demodulated by the first demodulating means and the second demodulating means.
