Data processing apparatus, and data processing method

A data processing method for use in a data processing apparatus in which data as an object of transmission is low density parity check-coded on a transmission side, the resulting low density parity check code is mapped to a symbol on a complex plane corresponding to a predetermined modulation system, a data stream representing the symbol to which the mapping is carried out is bit-interleaved with a predetermined bit group as a unit, and the bit-interleaved data stream transmitted in accordance with the predetermined modulation system is set as an object of processing, the data processing method comprising:

• obtaining, with a parallel demapping processing portion of the data processing apparatus, a second data stream by executing in parallel demapping processing corresponding to the mapping on the transmission side for a first data stream, as the object of processing, corresponding to the bit-interleaved data stream transmitted from the transmission side;
• obtaining, with a bit interleave reverse processing portion of the data processing apparatus, a third data stream by executing in parallel bit interleave reverse processing corresponding to the bit interleave on the transmission side for the second data stream;
• obtaining, with a barrel shifter of the data processing apparatus, a fourth data stream by performing column twist reverse processing on the third data stream;
• and
• decoding, with a low density parity check decoder of the data processing apparatus, the third data stream inputted in parallel with the predetermined bit group as the unit.

A data processing apparatus in which a received signal obtained through multiplexing complying with a Layered Division Multiplexing after a plurality of pieces of data as an object of transmission is low density parity check-coded and bit interleaved with a predetermined bit group as a unit on a transmission side is set as an object of processing, the data processing apparatus comprising:
