A received-signal combining method of transmitting a signal, based on a signal
having undergone error-correction coding and transmitted from a radio-transmitting
station, to a receiving station from a plurality of radio-receiving stations, and
generating a reception-information sequence based on the thus-transmitted signal
by the receiving station, comprises the steps of: each radio-receiving station
rendering error-correction decoding and error detection processing on the signal
transmitted from the radio-transmitting station, and transmitting the error-correction-decoding
result to the receiving station when no error is detected by the error detection
processing; and the receiving station combining the received error-correction-decoding
result according to a first algorithm when receiving the error-correction-decoding
result from any radio-receiving station, and, thus, generating the reception-information sequence.
