Abstract

An encoding method changes an encoding rate of an erasure correcting code. One cycle is defined as 12k bits (wherein k represents a natural number) which is an encoding output using LDPC-CC with an encoding rate of 1/2, and includes information and parity. From the one cycle, only the information is arranged in the output order of the encoding output to obtain 6k bit information X6i, X6i+1, X6i+2, X6i+3, X6i+4, X6i+5, . . . , X6(i+k−1) X6(i+k−1)+1, X6(i+k−1)+2, X6(i+k−1)+3, X6(i+k−1)+4, and X6(i+k−1)+5. Known information is inserted in 3k pieces of information (Xj) among the 6k bit information, so that when 3k pieces of mutually different j is divided by 3, there is a remainder of 0 regarding k pieces, there is a remainder of 1 regarding k pieces, and there is a remainder of 2 regarding k pieces, to thereby obtain the parity from the information containing the known information.

Claims (19)

1. A transmission apparatus comprising:

a packet generator configured to generate a first information packet from an input data;

an erasure correction coder configured to (i) perform an erasure correction coding processing for the first information packet to generate a first parity packet, and (ii) determine whether or not to delete a known information packet of the first information packet to generate a second information packet without the known information packet;

an error correcting encoder configured to perform an error correcting encoding processing for the second information packet and the first parity packet to generate a transmission data;

a modulator configured to modulate the transmission data using a predetermined modulation scheme to generate a modulated signal; and

a transmitter configured to transmit the modulated signal.

2. The transmission apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the known information packet comprises a value known to the transmission apparatus and a reception apparatus.

3. The transmission apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the error correcting encoder generates the transmission data after determining whether or not to delete a second predetermined packet of the second information packet.

4. The transmission apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the second predetermined packet comprises a value known to the transmission apparatus and a reception apparatus.

5. A transmission method comprising:

generating, by a processor, a first information packet from an input data;

performing an erasure correction coding processing for the first information packet to generate a first parity packet;

determining whether or not to delete a known information packet of the first information packet to generate a second information packet without the known information packet;

performing an error correcting encoding processing for the second information packet and the first parity packet to generate a transmission data;

modulating the transmission data using a predetermined modulation scheme to generate a modulated signal; and

transmitting the modulated signal.

6. The transmission method according to claim 5 , wherein the known information packet comprises a value known to a transmission apparatus and a reception apparatus.

7. The transmission method according to claim 5 , wherein step (a) generates the transmission data after determining whether or not to delete a second predetermined packet of the second information packet.

8. The transmission method according to claim 7 , wherein the second predetermined packet comprises a value known to the transmission apparatus and a reception apparatus.
