ERROR CORRECTION CODING DEVICE, ERROR CORRECTION DECODING DEVICE AND METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

Provided is an error correction encoder that performs coding on both a transmission area and a redundancy area of the transmission frame by using a product code, and when excess or deficiency is arisen with respect to allocation of an information sequence area and/or a parity sequence area in a product code frame generated by the coding using the product code, non-uniformly allocate the information sequence area to the parity sequence area, and/or non-uniformly allocate the parity sequence area to the information sequence area, where each of the non-uniform allocations is performed in accordance with the arisen excess or deficiency.
