A decoding apparatus includes an input power estimating circuit, an error correction decoder and a controller. The input power estimating circuit generates multiple estimated input powers for multiple sets of data included in a packet that needs to be corrected, and calculates respective power differences between the multiple estimated input powers and a reference power. The controller determines one or multiple candidate error positions according to one of the multiple power differences that is higher than a predetermined threshold. The error correction decoder performs a decoding process on the packet according to the one or multiple candidate error positions.

A decoding apparatus includes a differential decoder, an error correction decoder and a controller. The differential decoder performs differential decoding according to a differential encoding dependency to generate a differential decoding result. The error correction decoder performs a decoding process on multiple packets that need to be corrected according to the differential decoding result to accordingly generate respective error correction records, wherein the packets are generated according to the differential decoding results, and the packets include a first packet and a second packet. When the error correction record of the first packet indicates that the decoding process of the first packet is unsuccessful, the controller generates a set of error position information according to the error correction record of the second packet, and requests the error correction decoder to perform another decoding process on the first packet according to the error position information.

In a transmitting device, in interchanging to interchange a code bit of an LDPC code in which a code length is 16200 bits and an encoding rate is 7/15 with a symbol bit of a symbol corresponding to any of 8 signal points defined by 8PSK, when 3 bits of code bits stored in three units of storages having a storage capacity of 16200/3 bits and read bit by bit from the units of storages are allocated to one symbol, a bit b0, a bit b1, and a bit b2 are interchanged with a bit y1, a bit y0, and a bit y2, respectively. A position of the interchanged code bit obtained from data transmitted from the transmitting device is returned to an original position. The present technology is applicable to a case of transmitting data using an LDPC code, for example.

A bit interleaving method involves applying a bit permutation process to bits of a QC-LDPC codeword made up of N cyclic blocks each including Q bits, and dividing the codeword after the permutation process into a plurality of constellation words each including M bits, the codeword being divided into F×N′/M folding sections (N′ being a subset of N selected cyclic blocks and being a multiple of M/F), each of the constellation words being associated with one of the F×N′/M folding sections, and the bit permutation process being applied such that each of the constellation words includes F bits from each of M/F different cyclic blocks in a given folding section associated with a given constellation word.
