1. An error correction coding apparatus to perform error correction coding using, as an error correction code sequence, a frame of m bits× n parallel symbols defining a multilevel symbol and input in m-bit parallel, where m and n are positive integers, the apparatus comprising:
an error correction coding circuit to perform error correction coding using, as information bits, m bits× n symbols including known bits of the frame assigned to a bit sequence specified in the error correction code sequence and generate error correction coded parity bits; and
a selector to replace the known bits of the error correction code sequence with the parity bits, wherein
the known bits in the frame of the error correction sequence have a bit state that is a coding target the bit state being recognized in advance by a transmission side and a reception side in common.
