## Abstract

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.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for generating and transmitting a parity bit sequence by a transmission device in a communication system, comprising:
generating a basic masking pattern according to a basic puncturing pattern;
masking a parity bit sequence with the basic masking pattern;
outputting, as a basic parity bit sequence, non-punctured parity bits that are remaining after the masking of the parity bit sequence with the basic masking pattern;
generating a first secondary masking pattern according to a secondary puncturing pattern;
generating a first additional masking pattern based on the basic masking pattern and the first secondary masking pattern,
masking the parity bit sequence with the first additional masking pattern;
outputting, as a first additional parity bit sequence, non-punctured parity bits that are remaining after the masking of the parity bit sequence with the first additional masking pattern; and
transmitting, from the transmission device to a receiving device of the communication system, the output basic parity bit sequence and the output first additional parity bit sequence,
wherein the first additional parity bit sequence is transmitted in a frame preceding a particular frame in which the basic parity bit sequence is transmitted.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first additional masking pattern is generated by performing a logical sum operation on the basic masking pattern and the first secondary masking pattern.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the particular frame in which the basic parity bit sequence is transmitted and the frame in which the first additional parity bit sequence is transmitted are one from among a plurality of future extension frame (FEF) parts included in a super frame.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the first additional masking pattern is generated by performing a modulo operation on the basic masking pattern and the first secondary masking pattern.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising, encoding information bits using a predetermined coding technique and coding rate, and outputting a systematic bit sequence and the parity bit sequence.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising,
generating a second secondary masking pattern;
generating a second additional masking pattern by performing a modulo operation on the first secondary masking pattern and the second secondary masking pattern;
masking the parity bit sequence with the second additional masking pattern;
outputting, as a second additional parity bit sequence, non-punctured parity bits that are remaining after the masking of the parity bit sequence with the second additional masking pattern; and
transmitting the additional parity bit sequence in a frame.
