A transmitter for generating a transmission signal, comprising: a redundancy-adding encoder with a code rate smaller than 1, which is configured to generate a sequence of codewords, a codeword of the sequence of codewords being generated from an input block of symbols, the codeword comprising a number of forward error correction symbols greater than a number of symbols of the input block, wherein the codewords of the sequence of codewords are codewords generated by an LDPC (low-density parity check) code; an interleaver apparatus for processing the sequence of codewords, the interleaver apparatus comprising: a block interleaver for symbol-changing an order of FEC symbols in the respective codewords of the sequence of codewords so that an order of FEC symbols in the respective codewords of the sequence of codewords is changed so as to obtain changed codewords, the changed codewords each comprising a sequence of interleaving units (VE ij), each interleaving unit comprising at least two forward error correction symbols; and an interleaving means for changing the sequence of interleaving units in the changed codewords to obtain an interleaved codeword comprising a changed sequence of interleaving units, wherein the interleaving means is configured not to change an order of the FEC symbols within an interleaving unit and to change the sequence of interleaving units so that at least one interleaving unit of a previous or subsequent changed codeword is temporally arranged between two interleaving units of the changed codeword, wherein a number of FEC symbols in an interleaving unit is greater than 50 and smaller than 400, and wherein a number of interleaving units depends on a length of the changed codeword and each changed codeword comprises 50 or more interleaving units; and a modulator for generating the transmission signal by modulation of a data stream output from the interleaving means of the interleaver apparatus onto a transmission channel. a redundancy-adding encoder with a code rate smaller than 1, which is configured to generate a sequence of codewords, a codeword of the sequence of codewords being generated from an input block of symbols, the codeword comprising a number of forward error correction symbols greater than a number of symbols of the input block, wherein the codewords of the sequence of codewords are codewords generated by an LDPC (low-density parity check) code;
