  • Patent number: 11177832
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a data processing apparatus and a data processing method which enable provision of an LDPC code that achieves good error-rate performance. An LDPC encoding unit performs encoding using an LDPC code having a code length of 64800 bits and a code rate of 18/30, 19/30, 20/30, 21/30, 22/30, or 23/30. The LDPC code includes information bits and parity bits, and a parity check matrix H is composed of an information matrix portion corresponding to the information bits of the LDPC code, and a parity matrix portion corresponding to the parity bits. The information matrix portion of the parity check matrix H is represented by a parity check matrix initial value table that shows positions of elements of 1 in the information matrix portion in units of 360 columns. The present technology may be applied to LDPC encoding and LDPC decoding.

  • Patent number: 11159181
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a transmission method and a reception device for securing favorable communication quality in data transmission using an LDPC code. In group-wise interleaving, the LDPC code with a code length N of 17280 bits is interleaved in units of 360-bit bit groups 0 to 47. In group-wise deinterleaving, a sequence of the LDPC code after group-wise interleaving is returned to an original sequence. The present technology can be applied, for example, in a case of performing data transmission using an LDPC code, and the like.

  • Publication number: 20210281277
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a transmission device, a transmission method, a reception device, and a reception method for securing good communication quality in data transmission using an LDPC code. LDPC coding for information bits with an information length K=N×r is performed on the basis of an extended parity check matrix having rows and columns extended by a predetermined puncture length L with respect to a parity check matrix of an LDPC code with a code length N of 69120 bits and a coding rate r of 14/16, so that an extended LDPC code having parity bits with a parity length M=N+L?K is generated. A head of the information bits of the extended LDPC code is punctured by L, so that a punctured LDPC code with the code length N of 69120 bits and the coding rate r is generated.
