METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CHANNEL ENCODING AND DECODING IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM USING A LOW-DENSITY PARITY CHECK CODE

摘要

A method is provided for channel encoding in a communication system using a Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) code. The method includes grouping information bits into a plurality of groups; determining an order of the plurality of groups to be shortened, based on a ratio of a number of bits to be shortened to a number of bits to be punctured; determining a length of an information word to be obtained by shortening the plurality of groups; shortening the plurality of groups on a group basis in the determined order based on the determined length of the information word; and LDPC-encoding a shortened information word.
