APPARATUS AND METHOD OF ENCODING/DECODING BLOCK LOW DENSITY PARITY CHECK CODES IN A COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

An apparatus and method of encoding a block Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) code in a signal transmission apparatus is disclosed. The method includes generating a block LDPC codeword by encoding an information vector using a second parity check matrix when a code rate to be used in the signal transmission apparatus is a second code rate less than a code rate of a first parity check matrix as a first code rate.
