A reception device receives and demodulates, for each subchannel, data transmitted independently via three subchannels, which are a subchannel of interest and the two upper and lower adjacent subchannels which interfere with the subchannel of interest. A reception portion provided for each subchannel computes, as a soft decision value, the probability that data received from the subchannel of interest is “0” and the probability that the data is “1”, taking into account the degree of coupling between channels, and moreover uses the soft decision values input from the two upper and lower adjacent reception devices to adjust and output the soft decision value for the subchannel of interest, and based on the adjusted soft decision value, decides whether the received data is “0” or “1”.
