According to one embodiment, an encoding apparatus includes an input unit and a generation unit. The input unit inputs a data symbol sequence containing q(N−J) symbols (q, J, and N are integers, N>J). The generation unit generates a codeword containing qN symbols by adding a parity symbol sequence containing qJ symbols to the data symbol sequence. The codeword satisfies parity check equations of a parity check matrix of qJ rows×qN columns. A first submatrix of qJ rows×qJ columns that corresponds to the parity symbol sequence in the parity check matrix includes a second submatrix. The second submatrix includes a first identity matrix of qL rows×qL columns (L is an integer, J>L) and a first non-zero matrix of q(J−L) rows×qL columns. |
