Abstract: The present technology relates to a transmission device, a transmission method, a reception device, and a reception method capable of ensuring good communication quality in data transmission using an LDPC code. In group-wise interleaving in which an LDPC code with a code length N of 69120 bits is interleaved in units of bit groups of 360 bits, an (i+1)th bit group from a head of the LDPC code is set as a bit group i, and a sequence of bit groups 0 to 191 of the 69120 bit LDPC code is interleaved into a predetermined sequence. In the group-wise deinterleaving, the sequence of the LDPC code after the group-wise interleaving is returned to the original sequence. The present technology can be applied to, for example, a case of performing data transmission or the like using an LDPC code.
