Abstract
It is possible to provide and an LDPC-CC (Low-Density Parity-Check Convolution Codes) encoder and an LDPC-CC decoder which performs an error correction encoding and decoding while reducing the amount of a termination sequence required for encoding/decoding the LDPC-CC encoding/decoding and suppressing degradation of the transmission efficiency. The LDPC-CC encoder (400) includes a weight control unit (470) which stores a weight pattern (475) based on an LDPC-CC inspection matrix (100); and a weight pattern (476) based on a check matrix (300) obtained by deforming an LDPC-CC inspection matrix (100). The weight control unit (470) controls a weight to be multiplied onto the outputs of a plurality of shift registers (410-1 to 410-M, 430-1 to 430-M) by using the weight pattern (475) when the input bit is an information sequence, and using a weight pattern (476) which makes a weight value to be multiplied by an inspection bit v2,t to be 0 when the input bit is a termination sequence.
