  • Publication number: 20160373135
    Abstract: The present technology relates to a data processing device and a data processing method, which are capable of securing excellent communication quality in data transmission using an LDPC code. In group-wise interleave, an LDPC code in which a code length N is 64800 bits and an encoding rate r is 7/15, 9/15, 11/15, or 13/15 is interleaved in units of bit groups of 360 bits. In group-wise deinterleave, a sequence of the LDPC code that has undergone the group-wise interleave is restored to an original sequence. For example, the present technology can be applied to a technique of performing data transmission using an LDPC code.

  • Publication number: 20160365877
    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 11/15 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.

  • Publication number: 20150154125
    Abstract: Data are stored using a writing method according to the property of the data in a storage device. An area defining unit defines, in a second memory, a system area for storing system information causing a system to operate and a cache area temporarily storing data of a first memory. A moving processing unit moves data stored in the cache area to the first memory at a predetermined point in time. An access control unit accesses the second memory in accordance with the definition with regard to access corresponding to the system area or the cache area, and read data from the first memory with regard to read-access corresponding to those other than the system area and the cache area.
