ENCODING APPARATUS, DECODING APPARATUS, ENCODING PROGRAM AND DECODING PROGRAM

摘要

An encoding apparatus (10) comprising means (12) for encoding input data for each block and storing generated encoded symbols into an external storage device (14); means (16) for transferring encoded symbols required for convolutional encoding from the external storage device (14) to a memory buffer (18); and means (20) for performing convolutional encoding of the encoded symbols located in the memory buffer (18).
