The present invention relates to a pre-processing apparatus using nonuniform quantization of a channel reliability value and a low density parity check (LDPC) decoding system. The pre-processing apparatus can present degradation in performance and be embodied simply by performing decoding pre-process by estimating a discrete channel reliability value (L<SUB>c</SUB>*) through nonuniform quantization of a channel reliability value based on a relations between a bit error rate (BER) estimated through a simulation performed in advance and a standard deviation (sigma) of channel noise within a predetermined range of noise estimation error and p, and bit-shifting a receiving signal as much as a discrete channel reliability value. The pre-processing apparatus includes: a channel reliability measuring unit, a nonuniform quantizing unit, a sign bit adding unit, a bit shifting unit.
