A transmitting device and method enables improved reception quality on the receiving side when LDPC-CC (Low-Density Parity-Check Convolutional Codes) encoding is used. The transmitting device includes an LDPC-CC encoding section, a sorting section for sorting the encoded data acquired by the LDPC-CC encoding section into a first encoded data set corresponding to the column number of the column containing “1” in a part of an LDPC-CC check matrix H from which a protograph is excluded and a second encoded data set corresponding to the column numbers of the columns other than that, and a frame constructing section (control section) for constructing a transmission frame where the first and second encoded data sets are arranged in positions different in time or frequency in the transmission frame.
