Abstract

A data distributor distributes interleaved data strings and outputs them to puncturing sections in a frame unit. A puncturing instructing section refers to a rate matching table to output information on data to be punctured to a plurality of puncturing sections. Each puncturing section performs the judgment processing on whether puncturing is to be performed only for parity bits according to the rule of an arrangement of information bits and parity bits for each frame and then performs puncturing. This enables to reduce processing for turbo-coded data after interleave processing and to perform light-load rate matching.

Claims (30)

1. A rate matching apparatus comprising:

a distributing section that sequentially distributes data from a serial data string to a plurality of frames in parallel data strings; and

a puncturing section that performs puncturing on data in the frames according to a rule of an arrangement of the data in the frames formed based on an order the serial data string is distributed to the frames.

2. The rate matching apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the puncturing section performs puncturing only for parity bits, and

the arrangement rule is a rule of arrangement of information bits and parity bits of turbo-coded data in the frames.

3. The rate matching apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the puncturing section performs puncturing only for parity bits, and

the arrangement rule is a rule of arrangement of information bits and parity bits determined from a frame number without performing a computation for making a distinction between the information bits and the parity bits.

4. A rate matching apparatus comprising:

a distributing section that sequentially distributes data from a punctured serial data string to a plurality of frames in parallel data strings; and

a depuncturing section that performs depuncturing on the frames according to a rule of an arrangement of the data in the frames formed based on an order the serial data string is distributed to the frames.

5. The rate matching apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein:

the depuncturing section performs depuncturing to restore only punctured parity bits, and

the arrangement rule is a rule of an arrangement of information bits and parity bits of turbo-coded data in the frames.

6. The rate matching apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein:

the depuncturing section performs depuncturing only for punctured parity bits, and

the arrangement rule is a rule of the arrangement of information bits and parity bits determined from a frame number.

7. A communication terminal apparatus comprising:

a distributing section that sequentially distributes data from a serial data string to a plurality of frames in parallel data strings; and

a puncturing section that performs puncturing on data of the frames according to a rule of an arrangement of the data in the frames formed based on an order the serial data string is distributed to the frames.

8. A base station apparatus comprising:

a distribution section that sequentially distributes data from a serial data string to a plurality of frames in parallel data strings; and

a puncturing section that performs puncturing on data of the frames according to a rule of an arrangement of the data in the frames formed based on an order the serial data string is distributed to the frames.

9. A rate matching method comprising:

distributing data from a serial data string sequentially to a plurality of frames in parallel data strings; and

performing puncturing on the data of the frames according to a rule of an arrangement of the data in the frames formed based on an order the serial data string is distributed to the frames.

10. A rate matching method comprising:

distributing sequentially data from a punctured serial data string to a plurality of frames in parallel data strings; and

performing depuncturing on the frames according to a rule of an arrangement of the data in the frames formed based on an order the serial data string is distributed to the frames.
