Abstract

A method for encoding a channel in a communication system using a Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) code is provided. The method includes determining a number of parity bits for puncturing; dividing the parity bits at predetermined intervals, and determining a number of puncturing parity bits, which are subjected to puncturing within the predetermined intervals; determining a modulation scheme; determining positions of puncturing parity bits corresponding to the determined number of the puncturing parity bits within the predetermined intervals according to the modulation scheme; repeatedly performing puncturing on puncturing parity bits corresponding to the determined positions at the predetermined intervals; and transmitting remaining bits except for the punctured bits according to the modulation scheme.
