Abstract

The present invention relates to a data processing device and a data processing method capable of improving the resistance to data error. In a case where an LDPC code having a code length of 4,320 bits is mapped into 16 signal points, when a code bit of 4×2 bits and the (#i+1)-th bit from the most significant bit of symbol bits of 4×2 bits of two consecutive symbols are bits b#i and y#i, a demultiplexer performs an interchange process in which b 0 is allocated to y 0 , b 1 is allocated to y 4 , b 2 is allocated to y 1 , b 3 is allocated to y 6 , b 4 is allocated to y 2 , b 5 is allocated to y 5 , b 6 is allocated to y 3 , and b 7 is allocated to y 7 for an LDPC code having a coded rate of 1/2, and b 0 is allocated to y 0 , b 1 is allocated to y 4 , b 2 is allocated to y 5 , b 3 is allocated to y 2 , b 4 is allocated to y 1 , b 5 is allocated to y 6 , b 6 is allocated to y 3 , and b 7 is allocated to y 7 for an LDPC code having a coded rate of 7/12, 2/3, and 3/4. The present invention, for example, can be applied to a transmission system transmitting an LDPC code and the like.
