Abstract:
1. In performing block coding on k1-bit first data requiring a received signal quality and k2-bit second data requiring a different received signal quality, a method of joint coding, the method comprising: configuring a first block code generation matrix meeting a first minimum hamming distance; configuring a second block code generation matrix meeting a second minimum hamming distance; configuring a third block code generation matrix including the first block code generation matrix, the second block code generation matrix and a zero matrix having a predetermined size; and coding a serial combination of the first and second data to have an n-bit length using the third block code generation matrix, wherein the first block code generation matrix is divided into a first partial matrix having a third minimum hamming distance equal to or greater than the first minimum hamming distance and a second partial matrix having a fourth minimum hamming distance equal to or greater than the first minimum hamming distance, wherein the third block code generation matrix includes the zero matrix located at a right side of the first partial matrix, and the second block code generation matrix located at a right side of the second partial matrix.
