A radio communication apparatus is provided that enables degradation of error rate performance due to puncturing to be minimized when an LDPC code is used as an error correcting code. In this apparatus, a padding bit insertion section 101 inserts padding bits in a transmission bit sequence based on a parity check matrix, and outputs the generated bit sequence to an LDPC encoding section 102. Using the parity check matrix, LDPC encoding section 102 performs LDPC encoding on the bit sequence input from padding bit insertion section 101, and obtains an LDPC codeword composed of systematic bits and parity bits. Then a puncturing section 103 eliminates padding bits from the LDPC codeword input from. LDPC encoding section 102, and also punctures parity bits in the LDPC codeword in order starting from a parity bit corresponding to a variable node for which the total number of connections to padding bits via check nodes is larger.
