Patent attributes
An apparatus and method for generating a parity bit sequence to be transmitted or received over a plurality of frames in a communication system are provided. The method includes puncturing a first parity bit sequence by encoding, the first parity bit sequence with a first puncturing pattern; outputting, as a basic parity bit sequence, non-punctured parity bits that are remaining after the puncturing of the first parity bit sequence with the first puncturing pattern; puncturing a second parity bit sequence that is punctured by puncturing of the first parity bit sequence with the first puncturing pattern, the second parity bit sequence with a second puncturing pattern; and outputting, as an additional parity bit sequence, non-punctured parity bits that are remaining after the puncturing of the second parity bit sequence with the second puncturing pattern.
