1. A channel interleaving method in a communication system using a low density parity check (LDPC) code, the method comprising:
encoding information data bits into an LDPC codeword using a predetermined coding scheme upon receipt of the information bits;
interleaving the LDPC codeword according to a predetermined channel interleaving rule; and
modulating the channel-interleaved LDPC codeword into a modulation symbol using a predetermined modulation scheme,
wherein the channel interleaving rule is defined such that if a degree of a check node is lower than a threshold set in the system, codeword bits mapped to low-degree variable nodes are allocated to higher-reliability bits among the bits in the modulation symbol.
