The present disclosure relates to a communication scheme for convergence of an IoT technology and a 5G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate beyond a 4G system, and a system therefor. The present disclosure may be applied to intelligent services (for example, smart homes, smart buildings, smart cities, smart or connected cars, healthcare, digital education, retail businesses, security and security-related services, or the like) on the basis of a 5G communication technology and IoT-related technologies. The present invention provides a method for configuring a base graph of an LDPC code used for data channel transmission, and a method and an apparatus for segmentation of a transmission block by using an LDPC code.
