As described above, the LDPC encoding information of the transmitted signal may be included in the frame transmitted, such as the information of the K/N rate LPDC code Hn=(N?K)×N LDPC matrix used to encode the source words. In one embodiment of the present application, a K/N rate LPDC code Hn=(N?K)×N may be used, at the LDPC decoder 1508, with a lifting factor of Z. As described in the encoding process, Hn comprises a plurality of submatrices, and each submatrix has a size of Z×Z. At least one submatrix in Hn comprises m1 diagonals of “1”, where m1 is an integer>=2. The methods of generating the parity check matrix have been described in the encoding process.
