Abstract: Disclosed is a wireless communication system wherein frame data is encoded with an outer code and then divided into predetermined number of blocks which are encoded with an inner code into transmission data which a receiver receives by wireless. In the receiver, a decoder decodes the received transmission data in accordance with the inner code, a retransmission order determining unit determines whether or not to perform a retransmission order in units of blocks based on the likelihood information (decoded soft-decision value). At this time, the retransmission order determining unit inhibits the retransmission order for the block if the number of inner-code errors in a frame consisting of predetermined number of blocks stays within a limit of what the outer code can correct at a decoder and determines that a retransmission is necessary if the number of inner-code errors in the frame exceeds the limit. An average value of absolute values of the likelihood information within a block, for example, can be used as an evaluation value.
