An LDPC encoder is described with memory for storing a parity check matrix and a calculation unit to encode information bits into a codeword with reference to the parity check matrix. The parity check matrix includes an information part matrix and a parity part matrix. In the parity part matrix, Z*Z sub-matrices are sub-matrices, other than a zero matrix, and are arranged in each of the m rows and m columns. A sub-matrix is a scaled cyclic matrix obtained by shifting elements of an identity matrix by one to the left and multiplying the shifted elements by a scaling element. Except for the scaled cyclic matrix, the remaining sub-matrices are a zero matrix or an identity matrix, and the scaling element is an element allowing the parity part matrix to satisfy a full rank condition on a Galois field.

A method and a device for transmitting a signal by using a polar code are provided. The method includes generating a first codeword by applying the polar code to an input signal, dividing the first codeword into a plurality of partial vectors, allocating a shaping bit to the input signal when at least one of the plurality of partial vectors does not satisfy a preset Hamming weight condition, generating a second codeword by applying the polar code to the input signal to which the shaping bit is allocated, and transmitting a signal based on the second codeword.

The present disclosure relates to a pre-5-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system to be provided for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4-Generation (4G) communication system such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A method for operating a transmitting stage in a wireless communication system includes generating a signal by encoding an input bit sequence according to polar code determined from a linear code, and transmitting the signal to a receiving stage. The input bit sequence includes a second frozen bit which is determined based on a first frozen bit and an information bit. The first frozen bit and the information bit precede the second frozen bit in the input bit sequence.
