Patent ID: 8375268

Claim:
A receiving apparatus comprising: a first decoding means for performing, every time frame data in which an inner code and an outer code are used as error correction codes is transmitted thereto, decoding processing employing the inner code and outputting decoded data; a storing means for storing the decoded data; a second decoding means for applying decoding processing employing the outer code to the decoded data output from the storing means; and a control means for controlling storage of the decoded data in the storing means, for controlling output of the decoded data from the storing means, and for suspending, while the control means causes the storing means to output first decoded data as the decoded data of a decoding result of first frame data to the second decoding means and when the first decoding means starts output of second decoded data as the decoded data of a decoding result of second frame data transmitted following the first frame data, the output of the first decoded data to the second decoding means and cause the storing means to store the second decoded data and, when the storage of the second decoded data ends, for instructing the storing means to resume the output of the first decoded data to the second decoding means.
