Patent ID: 8910008

Claim:
A transmitting/receiving system comprising: a first transmitting/receiving apparatus including: a first transmitting unit that subjects transmission data to which an error detecting code is attached, to a conversion of the number of bits and that transmits the converted transmission data; a first receiving unit that subjects a response to the transmission of the transmission data to which the error detecting code is attached, to an inverse conversion of the number of bits and that receives the converted response; an error detector that detects a 1-bit error; and an error correction unit that corrects at least one of a positive acknowledgment and a negative acknowledgment; and a second transmitting/receiving apparatus including: a second receiving unit that subjects the transmission data which has been transmitted by the first transmitting unit of the first transmitting/receiving apparatus, to an inverse conversion of the number of bits; a detector that detects an error on the basis of the error detecting code attached to the transmission data that has been subjected to the inverse conversion of the number of bits by the second receiving unit; a second generator that generates the positive acknowledgement or the negative acknowledgement in accordance with the presence or absence of the error detection performed by the detector and that uses a code with which it is possible to distinguish between the positive acknowledgement and the negative acknowledgement even when the 1-bit error occurs, the 1-bit error being caused by transportation when the positive acknowledgement or the negative acknowledgement is transmitted to the first transmitting/receiving apparatus; and a second transmitting unit that subjects the positive acknowledgement or the negative acknowledgement generated by the second generator, to a conversion of the number of bits and that transmits the converted acknowledgement to the first transmitting/receiving apparatus.
