A disclosed signal transmission method in a radio multiplex transmission
system comprises the steps of: serial-to-parallel converting serial data
to be transmitted into N (N: two or more) parallel data series;
independently performing an error-correcting encoding process on the
parallel signals of the N data series serial-to-parallel converted;
parallel-to-serial converting the parallel signals encoded with
error-correcting codes; performing an interleaving process on the
parallel-to-serial converted signals; serial-to-parallel converting the
interleaved signals into L (L: two or more) parallel data series and
transmitting each of the L data series using L antennas; receiving the
transmitted signals; separating the received signals into M (M: two or
more) data series and parallel-to-serial converting the M data series;
performing a deinterleaving process on the parallel-to-serial converted
signals; serial-to-parallel converting the deinterleaved signals into N
data series; independently performing an error-correcting decoding
process on the parallel signals of the N data series serial-to-parallel
converted; and parallel-to-serial converting the signals in which the
error-correcting codes are decoded, thereby recovering the transmitted
data.
