    Abstract: A wireless device may decode a polar coded codeword using a successive cancellation list (SCL) decoder. The decoder may implement a distributed feedback architecture, where the decoder stores one or more state maps and a set of bit arrays in memory for each layer of decoding. For different phases of decoding in a layer, the decoder may update the state maps and sets of bit arrays to limit the resources used. Additionally, when performing bit updating following the decoding of a bit of the codeword, the decoder may not update each layer of the decoding process. Instead, each sub-decoder may send a state map up to the calling layer for bit updating when the sub-decoder has completed its invocation, and may not return any intermediate state maps prior to completing invocation. Thus, each decoder and sub-decoder may perform bit updating just twice, reducing the complexity and latency of decoding.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. An encoder may utilize a common mother code for encoding control information to each set of control channel resources of a control channel, control channel associated with multiple transmission configuration indication (TCI) states. For example, the common mother code may include utilizing same parameters when constructing the polar code for each set of control channel resources, where the parameters include a block length, a number of information bits, or both. Additionally, rate matching procedures for each control channel resource may differ (e.g., puncturing, shortening, or repetition). Additionally or alternatively, the mother code and rate matching may be determined based on a sum of all available coded bits in each control channel resource and the number of information bits. A decoder may then attempt soft combination of candidates from the different sets of control channel resources to obtain decoded control information.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices that support an efficient sequence-based polar code description are described. In some cases, a wireless device (e.g., a user equipment (UE) or a base station) may transmit a codeword including a set of information bits encoded using a polar code or receive a codeword including a set of information bits encoded using a polar code. As described herein, the wireless device may determine the bit locations of the information bits in the polar code based on a partition assignment vector. Specifically, the wireless device may partition bit-channels for one or more stages of polarization and assign information bits to partitions based on the partition assignment vector. Once the bit locations of the information bits are determined, the wireless device may decode a received codeword or transmit an encoded codeword based on the determined bit locations of the information bits.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes having pairwise orthogonality of adjacent rows, and a new decoder that exploits the pairwise row orthogonality for flexible decoder scheduling without performance loss. An apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a codeword in accordance with a radio technology across a wireless channel via one or more antenna elements situated proximal the receiver. The apparatus includes at least one processor coupled with a memory and comprising decoder circuitry configured to decode the codeword based on a LDPC code to produce a set of information bits. The LDPC code is stored in the memory and defined by a base matrix having columns in which all adjacent rows are orthogonal in a last portion of the rows.

    Abstract: Wireless devices may employ techniques for indicating alternative modulation coding schemes (MCSs) (e.g., MCS values or MCS indices not associated with a default list or default MCS table). That is, communications (e.g., such as physical downlink control channel (PDCCH) transmissions carrying downlink control information (DCI), physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) transmissions carrying uplink grants, etc.) may include information (e.g., in MCS fields and reserved fields) that indicate alternative MCSs for subsequent communications. For example, random access radio network temporary identifier (RA-RNTI) scrambled DCI, random access response (RAR) messages, etc., may indicate an alternative MCS for subsequent messages in a random access procedure (e.g., for a RAR, an RRC connection request, etc.). The alternative MCS may be conveyed by indicating information such as MCS scaling factors, alternative MCS table IDs, MCS indices associated with the alternative MCS table, or some combination thereof.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device may decode a polar coded codeword using a successive cancelation (SC) or successive cancelation list (SCL) decoder. The construction of the codeword may be based on multiple factors, such as a decoding complexity, reliability, codeword size, number of information bits, type of communication, etc. In some cases, multiple codeword constructions may be compared (e.g., with various weights applied to the relevant factors) and an optimal construction selected. Techniques described herein are applicable both to the selection of an optimal codeword as well as decoding operations. Specifically, the described techniques may allow for a reduced decoding complexity through the use of subtree pruning, in which characteristics of the polar scheme (e.g., the scheme selected by the encoder) may be exploited to reduce the complexity of the decoding operation.
