A transmitting device and method enabling improvement of the reception quality on the receiving side when the LDPC-CC (Low-Density Parity-Check Convolutional Codes) encoding is used. The transmitting device (100) comprises an LDPC-CC encoding section (102), a sorting section (121) for sorting the encoded data (120) acquired by the LDPC-CC encoding section (102) into a first encoded data set (103_A) corresponding to the column number of the column containing “1” in a part of an LDPC-CC check matrix H from which a protograph is excluded and a second encoded data set (103_B) corresponding to the column numbers of the columns other than that, and a frame constructing section (a control section (106)) for constructing a transmission frame where the first and second encoded data sets (103_A, 103_B) are arranged in positions different in time or frequency in the transmission frame.
