Abstract

A modulator and a modulation method using a non-uniform 16-symbol signal constellation are disclosed. The modulator includes a memory and a processor. The memory receives a codeword corresponding to a low-density parity check (LDPC) code having a code rate of 4/15. The processor maps the codeword to 16 symbols of the non-uniform 16-symbol signal constellation on a 4-bit basis.

Claims (43)

1. A reception device, comprising:

a demodulator configured to perform demodulation corresponding to 16-symbol mapping using 16 symbols of a non-uniform 16-symbol signal constellation;

a deinterleaver configured to perform group-unit deinterleaving on interleaved values after the demodulation; and

a decoder configured to restore information bits by LDPC-decoding deinterleaved values generated based on the group-unit deinterleaving, the deinterleaved values corresponding to a LDPC codeword having a code rate of 4/15,

wherein the group-unit deinterleaving is performed on a group basis, the size of the group corresponding to a parallel factor of the LDPC codeword, and

wherein the 16 symbols are defined as shown in the following Table:

15

 −1.1282 − 0.5797i.

2. The reception device of claim 1 , wherein the LDPC codeword is generated by performing accumulation with respect to memory using a sequence corresponding to a parity check matrix (PCM).

3. The reception device of claim 2 , wherein the LDPC codeword includes a systematic part having a length of 4320, a first parity part having a length of 1080, and a second parity part having a length of 10800.
