Abstract:
A bit interleaving method applying a bit permutation process to a QC LDPC codeword made up of N cyclic blocks of Q bits each, dividing the processed codeword into constellation words of M bits each, and applying an intra-cyclic-block permutation process to the cyclic blocks, where the codeword is divided into F×N/M folding sections of M/F cyclic blocks each and the constellation words are each associated with one of the folding sections, and the bit permutation process is applied such that the constellation words are each made up of F bits from each of M/F different cyclic blocks in the associated section, after the permutation process.

Claim (Index 3):
A signal processing method for processing a signal transmitted by modulating N\u00d7Q/M constellation symbols, the constellation symbols being generated by applying a bit reordering process to a codeword generated based on a low-density parity check coding scheme, a parity-check matrix of the low-density parity check coding scheme having a quasi-cyclic structure, dividing the codeword after the bit reordering process into a plurality of constellation words, each of the constellation words being made up of M bits, the codeword being made up of N bit groups each including Q bits, and mapping the plurality of constellation words to the N\u00d7Q/M constellation symbols,\n the bit reordering process comprising a bit permutation process of reordering the bits of the codeword in accordance with a bit permutation rule defining a reordering of the bits, wherein N is not a multiple of M, the bit permutation rule includes a first rule and a second rule, the first rule being applied to N\u2032=N\u2212X bit groups, the second rule being applied to X bit groups, where X is a remainder of N divided by M, the reordering of the first rule is equivalent to a column-row permutation process including a writing process and a reading process, the bits of the N\u2032 bit groups being written into a matrix row-by-row during the writing process, the written bits being read out from the matrix column-by-column during the reading process, the matrix having M rows, the Q bits included in one bit group being written into a same row sequentially, and the second rule defines the mapping of the bits of the X bit groups to the constellation words without permutation, and the signal processing method comprising a demodulating step of generating a demodulated signal by demodulating the signal, which has been transmitted by modulating the N\u00d7Q/M constellation symbols; a demapping step of generating a demapped signal by demapping the demodulated signal; and a decoding step of decoding the demapped signal in accordance with the bit permutation rule to generate data before coding according to the low-density parity check coding scheme.
