The present invention is intended to provide an LDPC coding scheme which is capable of efficiently implementing a high-performance and high-speed encoder and decoder of an error correcting code suitable for the field of communications such as mobile communications. As to the configuration, a Tanner graph for representing codes with variable nodes and check nodes is used to classify the individual nodes into a plurality of categories. For calculating a probability propagation in iterative decoding, weighting previously determined for each category is performed on a log-likelihood ratio (LLR) subjected to propagation. |
