A parity interleaving apparatus and method for fixed length signaling information are disclosed. A parity interleaving apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a processor configured to generate a parity bit string for parity puncturing by segmenting parity bits of an LDPC codeword whose length is 16200 and whose code rate is 3/15, into a plurality of groups, and group-wise interleaving the groups using an order of group-wise interleaving; and memory configured to provide the parity bit string for parity puncturing to a parity puncturing unit.

The present disclosure relates to data processing methods and apparatus. One example method includes obtaining a first data block from first optical path data, adding padding data and the first data block into a target information bit in a first data frame to form target data, encoding the target data to obtain a first code block, and sending the first code block.

Various implementations described herein relate to systems and methods for detecting soft errors, including but not limited to, errors introduced after reading a codeword from a non-volatile memory, and before providing data to a host. Embodiments can include decoding the codeword from the non-volatile memory to obtain at least input data, and determining validity of the input data using a first signature after processing the input data through a data path. If it is determined that the input data is valid using the first signature, the input data is sent to a host.

Various embodiments relate to a method for storing and reading data from a memory. Data words stored in the memory may be grouped, and word specific parity information and shared parity information is generated, and the shared parity information is distributed among the group of words. During reading of a word, if more errors are detected than can be corrected with word parity data, the shared parity data is retrieved and used to make the error corrections.

The disclosure relates to a communication method and system for converging a 5th-Generation (5G) communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-Generation (4G) system with a technology for Internet of Things (IoT). The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The disclosure relates to encoding and decoding by using a polar code in a wireless communication system, and an operation method of a transmission-end apparatus includes determining segmentation and the number of segments, based on parameters associated with encoding of information bits, encoding the information bits according to the number of check bits, and transmitting the encoded information bits to a reception-end apparatus.

A decoding system, a decoding controller, and a decoding control method are provided. In the decoding system, a decoding controller is disposed between two adjacent decoders. The decoding controller determines whether to perform turn-off based on a non-turn-off indication received by a previous-stage decoder, a turn-off indication output by the previous-stage decoder, and historical turn-off probability statistics. This is equivalent to adding a buffer zone between the two adjacent decoders.

A transmitter and receiver of a broadcasting signal and a method of processing the broadcasting signal are provided. The transmitter includes: a segmenter configured to segment an L1 signaling of a frame into a plurality of segmented L1 signalings such that each of the segmented L1 signalings has bits a number of which is equal to or smaller than a predetermined number; and an encoder configured to perform a Bose, Chaudhuri, Hocquenghem (BCH) and a low density parity check (LDPC) encoding, or the LDPC encoding without the BCH encoding, with respect to the segmented L1 signalings.

In general, according to an embodiment, a memory system includes a memory device including a memory cell; and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive first data from the memory cell in a first data reading; receive second data from the memory cell in a second data reading that is different from the first data reading; convert a first value that is based on the first data and the second data, to a second value in accordance with a first relationship; and convert the first value to a third value in accordance with a second relationship that is different from the first relationship.

The present technology relates to a transmission method and a reception device for securing favorable communication quality in data transmission using an LDPC code. In group-wise interleaving, the LDPC code with a code length N of 17280 bits is interleaved in units of 360-bit bit groups 0 to 47. In group-wise deinterleaving, a sequence of the LDPC code after group-wise interleaving is returned to an original sequence. The present technology can be applied, for example, in a case of performing data transmission using an LDPC code, and the like.

Various embodiments include an error correction code (ECC) system that provides protection against various errors in addition to data bit errors. In general, ECC codes protect against data bit errors, where one or more data bits in a data word contain the wrong value. The ECC code is based on the original data bits, such that a data bit error results in a data word that is inconsistent with the ECC code generated for and stored with the data word. The present embodiments generate ECC codes based on address information and/or sequencing information in addition to the data bits in the data word. As a result, the present embodiments detect bit errors in this address information and/or sequencing information. Such errors include write address decoding errors, read address decoding errors, write enable errors, and stale data errors.
