Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic selection of parity check matrices based on transmission conditions. The transmitting device selects different parity check matrices from a plurality of available matrices according to channel conditions, modulation schemes, and code rates. This allows the system to adapt to varying transmission requirements while maintaining manageable complexity through pre-defined matrix selections.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes key parameters of the LDPC code including code length (16200 bits), encoding rates (12/15, 6/15, 8/15), and parity check matrix selections. By varying these parameters based on transmission conditions, the system optimizes communication quality for different channel scenarios without requiring complete redesign of the encoding structure.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic selection of interleaving permutation sequences based on transmission conditions. Different permutation sequences are applied depending on the parity check matrix selection, modulation scheme, and code rate. This dynamic approach optimizes error correction performance for various channel conditions while managing complexity through a finite set of pre-defined sequences.

AI summary

The present technology relates to a data processing device and a data processing method, which are capable of securing excellent communication quality in data transmission using an LDPC code. In group-wise interleave, an LDPC code in which a code length N is 16200 bits and an encoding rate r is 12/15, 6/15, or 8/15 is interleaved in units of bit groups of 360 bits. In group-wise deinterleave, a sequence of the LDPC code that has undergone the group-wise interleave is restored to an original sequence. For example, the present technology can be applied to a technique of performing data transmission using an LDPC code.
