A pre-5th-generation (pre-5G) or 5G communication system for supporting higher data rates beyond a 4th-generation (4G) communication system, such as long term evolution (LTE) is provided. A channel encoding method in a communication or broadcasting system includes identifying an input bit size, determining a block size (Z), determining a low density parity check (LDPC) sequence to perform LDPC encoding, and performing the LDPC encoding based on the LDPC sequence and the block size.

One embodiment provides a system which facilitates data management. During operation, the system receives, by a storage device, a plurality of data blocks. The system compresses the data blocks to obtain compressed data blocks, and performs error correction code (ECC)-encoding on the compressed data blocks to obtain ECC-encoded data blocks. The system stores the ECC-encoded data blocks in a buffer prior to writing the ECC-encoded data blocks in a non-volatile memory of the storage device, and reorganizes an order of the ECC-encoded data blocks in the buffer to match a size of a physical page of the non-volatile memory. Responsive to a first set of the reorganized ECC-encoded data blocks filling a first physical page, the system writes the first set of the reorganized ECC-encoded data blocks to the first physical page.

A receiver is provided. The receiver includes: a first decoder configured to decode a superposition-coded signal by using a parity check matrix to generate Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) information word bits and first parity bits corresponding to a first layer signal; an encoder configured to encode the LDPC information word bits and the first parity bits to generate second parity bits, or encode the LDPC information word bits to generate the first parity bits and the second parity bits, by using the parity check matrix; and a second decoder configured to decode a signal which is generated by removing the first layer signal, corresponding to the LDPC information word bits, the first parity bits, and the second parity bits, from the superposition-coded signal, to reconstruct bits transmitted through the second layer signal.

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.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to techniques for compactly describing lifted low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. A method by a transmitting device generally includes selecting a first lifting size value and a first set of lifting values; generating a first lifted LDPC code by applying the first set of lifting values to interconnect edges in copies of a parity check matrix (PCM) having a first number of variable nodes and a second number of check nodes; determining a second set of lifting values for generating a second lifted LDPC code for a second lifting size value based on the first lifted PCM and the first set of lifting values; encoding a set of information bits based the first lifted LDPC code or the second lifted LDPC code to produce a code word; and transmitting the code word.

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A channel encoding method in a communication or broadcasting system includes identifying an input bit size, determining a block size (Z), determining an LDPC sequence for LDPC encoding, and performing the LDPC encoding based on the LDPC sequence and the block size.

A method may comprise receiving a first signal comprising first LDPC bits including systematic bits and parity bits and transmitting information indicating that the first signal was incorrectly received. A second signal comprising second LDPC bits may be received in response to the transmitting. The second signal may include LDPC bits according to a lifting size of an LDPC base graph.
