Provided is a decoding method for detecting Physical Layer Signaling Codes (PLSCs) from frames of a satellite broadcasting system. The method includes: a) acquiring a summation vector and a subtraction vector from an inputted symbol vector; b) performing parallel Reed-Muller (32,6) decoding onto the summation and subtraction vectors based on a Hadamard matrix and estimating message bits of the summation and subtraction vectors; c) performing PLSC coding and modulation onto the message bits of the summation and subtraction vectors; d) calculating a first difference between symbols of the received symbol vector and the summation vector symbols, and a second difference between the symbols of the received symbol vector and the subtraction vector symbols; and e) when the first difference is smaller than the second difference, determining a Reed-Muller codeword is repeated, or when the first difference is larger than the second difference, determining that the Reed-Muller codeword is inverted.

Provided is a frame synchronization method for synchronizing frames with pilot blocks added thereto based on differential correlation information in a satellite communication system. The method can acquire a highly reliable frame synchronization estimation value by achieving a multi-step threshold value test using pilot blocks after a correlation analysis and a threshold test based on a sync signal in order to resolve the problem of a low signal-to-noise ratio and a large frequency error and acquire highly reliable frame synchronization performance, and can overcome distortion of a correlation analysis value caused by the frequency error by analyzing correlation based on differential information. The method includes the steps of: a) performing correlation analysis and a threshold test by using a sync word; and b) performing a multi-step correlation value test by using the pilot blocks added to the frames prior to the sync word.

Provided are an apparatus and method for deciding a transmission format using a variable frame length and a decoding method using the same. The apparatus for deciding the transmission format using the variable frame length includes: a frame synchronization acquiring unit for acquiring a frame synchronization of a received transmission frame; a correlation analyzing unit for performing a correlation analysis with respect to the transmission frame whose synchronization is acquired, considering frame lengths of respective frame structures; and a transmission frame structure deciding unit for deciding the structure of the received transmission frame using the analyzed correlation. Accordingly, a physical layer signaling code (PLSC) demodulation and decoding performance can be enhanced by determining the structure of the transmitted frame without carrying out a PLSC decoding in such a state that a frequency synchronization is not acquired.
