The present disclosure relates to a 5G or pre-5G communication system for supporting a higher data transfer rate beyond a 4G communication system, such as LTE. One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for channel encoding in a communication system, the method comprising: encoding second data, using an outer channel code; determining a value corresponding to first data; arranging the encoded second data in a block size unit corresponding to the second data, based on the determined value; and encoding the arranged second data, using an inner channel code.
