Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for encoding, transmitting, receiving and decoding signal frames are provided. A transmitting apparatus includes: a frame encoder configured to perform Reed Solomon (RS) encoding on a plurality of frames in a vertical direction, wherein the frame encoder divides the plurality of frames into a plurality of groups, performs RS encoding for each group so that parties are added after the last frame of each group, and generates the RS-encoded frames. A receiver includes: a frame decoder configured to perform RS decoding on a plurality of received frames in a vertical direction, wherein the frame decoder divides the plurality of received frames into a plurality of groups, and performs RS decoding for each group to obtain information words without the parities.
Abstract:
A channel decoding method is provided. The method includes storing, in a memory, a set of first log likelihood ratio (LLR) values corresponding to bits of a codeword generated by modulation of a channel-encoded signal; changing, into a preset value, at least one LLR value corresponding to previously defined bits of the codeword from among the set of the first LLR values, to generate a set of second LLR values; and performing forward error correction (FEC) based on the set of the second LLR values and an FEC code, to estimate the bits of the codeword, in which the FEC code comprises a constraint code for constricting a previously defined structural correlation between the bits of the codeword.
Abstract:
A transmitting apparatus is provided. The transmitting apparatus includes: an L1 signaling generator configured to generate L1 signaling including first information and second information; a frame generator configured to generate a frame including a payload including a plurality of sub frames; and a signal processor configured to insert a preamble including the L1 signaling in the frame and transmit the frame. The first information includes information required for decoding a first sub frame among the plurality of sub frames. Therefore, a processing delay in a receiving apparatus is reduced.
Abstract:
A receiving apparatus includes: a first decoder configured to decode a signal transmitted through a first layer from a layered division multiplexing (LDM) signal using a parity check matrix to generate low density parity check (LDPC) information word bits and parity bits; an encoder configured to encode the LDPC information word bits, generated by decoding the signal transmitted through the first layer, using the parity check matrix to generate parity bits corresponding only to preset columns in the parity check matrix; and a second decoder configured to decode a signal obtained by removing, from the LDM signal, a signal corresponding to the LDPC information word bits generated by decoding the signal transmitted through the first layer, the parity bits generated by the encoder, and the parity bits generated by the first decoder except the parity bits generated by the encoder, thereby to generate information word bits transmitted through a second layer.
