A transmission apparatus includes an encoder that codes a data sequence with a parity check matrix, wherein the data sequence includes a final information bit sequence and virtual information bits, and outputs the final information bit sequence and a parity sequence, as LDPC codes, and a transmitter that transmits the LDPC codes as a transmission data. A column length of the parity check matrix is longer than a total length of the final information bit sequence and the parity sequence, by a length of the virtual information bits that are set to “0” and are not transmitted. The total length of the final information bit sequence and the parity sequence has a sequence length corresponding to a length from a first column to a predetermined column of the parity check matrix. The encoder generates the LDPC codes by using the first column to the predetermined column among one or more column(s) of the parity check matrix. |

1. A reception apparatus comprising:
a receiver, which, in operation, receives low-density parity-check (LDPC) encoded data generated by using a parity check matrix in which “n” number of (where n is an integer equal to or greater than 1) parity check equation groups including a plurality of parity check polynomials are arranged, each of the plurality of parity check polynomials satisfying zero; a log likelihood ratio generator, which, in operation, generates a log likelihood ratio for each bit of the received LDPC encoded data; and a decoder, which, in operation, decodes the log likelihood ratio for each bit of the LDPC encoded data based on the parity check matrix, wherein
the LDPC encoded data includes a parity sequence, which is generated by using a first column to a predetermined column of the parity check matrix for an information sequence having a sequence length that corresponds to a length from the first column to the predetermined column among one or more column(s) of the parity check matrix, andthe “n” number of parity check equation groups support coding rates of (r−1)/r (where r equals to or more than 2 and equals to or less than q, where q is a natural number equal to or more than 3), support a time varying period of g (where g is an integer equal to or more 2), and are arranged repeatedly at every gth row of the parity check matrix, the parity check polynomial being represented as:
AX1,k(D)X1(D)+AX2,k(D)X2(D)+ . . . +AXq−1,k(D)Xq−1(D)+Bk(D)P(D)=0(k=i mod g) (Equation 1)where, in Equation 1, X1(D), X2(D), . . . , Xq−1(D) are polynomial representations of data X1, X2, . . . , Xq−1 respectively, P(D) is a polynomial representation of parity P, AXr,k(D) is a term of Xr(D) in the parity check polynomial for “k=i mod g” at time i where the coding rate is (r−1)/r, and Bk(D) is a term of P(D) in the parity check polynomial for “k=i mod g” at time i, where “i mod g” is a remainder after dividing i by g. |
