Apparatus and method for encoding and decoding a block low density parity check code

摘要

Apparatus and method for coding a block low density parity check (LDPC) code. Upon receiving an information word vector, an encoder codes the information word vector into a block LDPC code according to a predetermined generation matrix. A modulator modulates the block LDPC code into a modulation symbol using a predetermined modulation scheme. A transmitter transmits the modulation symbol.
