Abstract

A transmitting apparatus is provided. The transmitting apparatus includes: an encoder configured to perform a low-density parity check (LDPC) encoding on input bits using a parity check matrix to generate an LDPC codeword comprising information word bits and parity bits; an interleaver configured to interleave the LDPC codeword; and a modulator configured to map the interleaved LDPC codeword onto a modulation symbol, wherein the modulator is further configured to map a bit included in a predetermined bit group from among a plurality of bit groups constituting the LDPC codeword onto a predetermined bit of the modulation symbol.

Claims

1. A transmitting apparatus comprising:

an encoder configured to generate a codeword comprising input bits and parity bits, wherein the parity bits are generated based on a Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) code according to a code rate of 5/15 and a code length of 16200;

an interleaver configured to split the codeword into a plurality of bit groups and interleave the plurality of bit groups to provide an interleaved codeword; and

a mapper configured to demultiplex the interleaved codeword into data cells and map the data cells onto constellation points based on 256-QAM scheme,

wherein the interleaver is configured to interleave the plurality of bit groups using a following equation;

Y_j=X<sub>π

(j)</sub> for (0≦

j<

N_group),

where X_j is a j^th bit group among the plurality of bit groups, Y_j is an interleaved j^th bit group, N_group is a total number of the plurality of bit groups, and π

(j) denotes a permutation order for the interleaving, and

wherein the π

(j) is defined as the table below;

2. The transmitting apparatus of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of bit groups comprises 360 bits.

3. The transmitting apparatus of claim 1, wherein π

(j) is determined based on at least one of the code length of the LDPC codeword, a modulation method for the mapping and the code rate.
