Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1,
wherein the identifying of the weak-bit or the second weak-bit as the parity bit comprises:
based on the state-indicator information, determining sets of consecutive non-zero elements for each PC-chain of the index set as subblocks; and
in a case in which the number of weak-bits determined according to the state-indicator information is greater than the number of bits to be used as the parity bits, when a weak-bit is included in a rearmost subblock for each PC-chain from among the determined subblocks, identifying a bit positioned last in the rearmost subblock including the weak-bit, and

wherein the identified bit is updated to the parity bit.
