  • Publication number: 20230412193
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a data processing device and a data processing method which can ensure high communication quality in data transmission using LDPC codes. In group-wise interleaving, an LDPC code having a code length N of 64800 bits and a coding rate r of 13/15 is interleaved in a unit of a bit group of 360 bits. In group-wise deinterleaving, a sequence of bit groups of the LDPC code which has been subjected to the group-wise interleaving is returned to an original sequence. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a case in which data transmission is performed using LDPC codes.

  • Patent number: 11341047
    Abstract: A data processing apparatus including a frequency interleaves that includes memory configured to write and read data, and an address generator configured to produce a write address and a read address, and that writes the data to the memory in accordance with the write address and reads out the data from the memory in accordance with the read address, thereby carrying out frequency interleaving. The address generator is configured to produce a first pseudo random bit stream, produce a second pseudo random bit stream, alternately produce a bit as 0 and a bit as 1 as an additional bit added as a most significant bit of the first pseudo random bit stream, and produce the write address or the read address by obtaining an exclusive-OR between the first pseudo random bit stream having the additional bit added as the most significant bit and the second pseudo random bit stream.
