Abstract
A decoding apparatus includes a memory and a receiving unit and is adapted to decode data in units of codewords each including a parity part. The memory has a storage capacity capable of storing at least data with a length equal to the length of one codeword. The receiving unit receives, as received values, elements of a codeword in a bit-interleaved form, performs bit deinterleaving and parity permutating on the received values, and stores the resultant received values in the memory.
