Transmitting apparatus and signal processing method thereof
A transmitting apparatus and a receiving apparatus are provided. The transmitting apparatus includes an encoder configured to generate a low density parity check (LDPC) codeword by performing LDPC encoding, an interleaver configured to interleave the LDPC codeword, and a modulator configured to modulate the interleaved LDPC codeword according to a modulation method to generate a modulation symbol. The interleaver performs interleaving by dividing the LDPC codeword into a plurality of groups, rearranging an order of the plurality of groups in group units, and dividing the plurality of rearranged groups based on a modulation order according to the modulation method.
1. A transmitting apparatus comprising:
an Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) encoder configured to encode input bits to generate parity bits;
an interleaver configured to interleave an LDPC codeword comprising the input bits and the parity bits; and
a constellation mapper configured to map the interleaved LDPC codeword onto constellation points for 256-QAM,
wherein the interleaver comprises:
a group-wise interleaver configured to split the LDPC codeword into a plurality of bit groups and interleave the plurality of bit groups; and
a block interleaver configured to interleave the interleaved plurality of bit groups using a plurality of containers, each of the plurality of containers comprising a first part and a second part, and
wherein if a code length of an LDPC code is 64800, a number of bits to be written in the first part of each of the plurality of containers is 7920 and a number of bits to be written in the second part of each of the plurality of containers is 180, and if a code length of an LDPC code is 16200, a number of bits to be written in the first part of each of the plurality of containers is 1800 and a number of bits to be written in the second part of each of the plurality of containers is 225.
2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of bit groups comprises 360 bits.
3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the interleaver further comprises:
a parity interleaver configured to interleave the parity bits,
wherein the group-wise interleaver is configured to split an LDPC codeword comprising the interleaved parity bits into a plurality of bit groups.
