A processor of an apparatus may generate a QC-LDPC code having a plurality of codebooks embedded therein. The processor may select a codebook from the plurality of codebooks. The processor may also encode data using the selected codebook. Alternatively or additionally, the processor may generate the QC-LDPC code including at least one quasi-row orthogonal layer. Alternatively or additionally, the processor may generate the QC-LDPC code including a base matrix a portion of which forming a kernel matrix that corresponds to a code rate of at least a threshold value.
Abstract:
A processor of an apparatus selects a codebook from a plurality of codebooks embedded in a quasi-cyclic-low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) code. The processor stores the selected codebook in a memory associated with the processor. The processor also encodes data using the selected codebook to generate a plurality of modulation symbols of the data. The processor further controls a transmitter of the apparatus to multiplex, convert, filter, amplify and radiate the modulation symbols as electromagnetic waves through one or more antennas of the apparatus. In selecting the codebook from the plurality of codebooks embedded in the QC-LDPC code, the processor selects the codebook according to one or more rules such that a small codebook requiring a shorter amount of processing latency for the encoding is selected for the encoding unless a larger codebook corresponding to a larger amount of processing latency for the encoding is necessary for the encoding.
Abstract:
An apparatus for interference cancellation includes: a front end processing circuit, for receiving at least an interference signal and a desire signal; an inner processing circuit, for channel/noise estimation and for suppressing the interference signal; and a MIMO (multi-input multi-output) processing circuit, for blindly detecting an interference parameter of the interference signal based on the suppressed interference signal, and for jointly cancelling the interference signal from the desire signal and for demodulating the desire signal based on the detected interference parameter and the channel/noise estimation from the inner processing circuit.
Abstract:
Examples pertaining to bit selection for polar coding incremental-redundancy hybrid automatic repeat request (IR-HARQ) are described. An apparatus (e.g., UE) generates a re-transmission polar code block (CB) in a polar incremental redundancy HARQ (IR-HARQ) procedure. The apparatus then transmits the re-transmission polar CB as a re-transmission of an initial transmission of an initial polar code carrying a plurality of information bits. In generating the re-transmission polar CB, the apparatus selects one or more re-transmission information bits from the plurality of information bits.
Abstract:
Concepts and schemes pertaining to location of interleaver with low-density parity-check (LDPC) code are described. A processor of an apparatus encodes data to provide a stream of encoded data. The processor also rate matches the encoded data to provide a rate-matched stream of encoded data. The processor further interleaving the rate-matched stream of encoded data. In rate matching the encoded data, the processor buffers the stream of encoded data in a circular buffer, with the circular buffer functioning as a rate matching block that rate matches the stream of encoded data. In interleaving the rate-matched stream of encoded data, the processor performs bit-level interleaving on the rate-matched stream of encoded data to provide a stream of interleaved data.
Abstract:
Aspects of the disclosure provide polar code rate matching methods. A first method can include determining whether to puncture or shorten a mother polar code according to a mother code rate and/or a rate matched code rate, and selecting K positions in the sequence of N input bits for input of K information bits to a polar encoder according to an offline prepared index list ordered according to the reliabilities of respective synthesized channels. Frozen input bits caused by puncturing or shortening are skipped during the selection. A second method includes generating a mother polar code, rearranging code bits of the mother polar code to form a rearranged sequence that can be stored in a circular buffer, and performing, in a unified way, one of puncturing, shortening, or repetition on the rearranged sequence to obtain a rate matched code.
