Claim Text:
1. A method for transmitting information in a broadcasting/communication system, the method comprising: comparing a number of bits of an information word to be transmitted with a predetermined threshold value; if the number of bits of the information word is less than the predetermined threshold value, obtaining a predetermined first parameter pair comprising a first ratio and a first correction factor; if the number of bits of the information word is not less than the predetermined threshold value, obtaining a predetermined second parameter pair comprising a second ratio and a second correction factor; determining a number of bits to be punctured based on one of the first parameter pair and the second parameter pair; and puncturing the determined number of bits to be punctured, with respect to parity bits of a codeword generated by encoding the information word, wherein each of the first ratio and the second ratio is a ratio of a number of bits to be shortened to the number of bits to be punctured, and wherein the number of bits to be punctured is determined based on a value calculated by applying one of the first parameter pair and the second parameter pair to a difference between a number of input bits for an encoder and a number of bits of the information word.
