    Abstract: A system includes an accelerator to accelerate the computations of nonlinear math functions. The accelerator includes a set of first evaluators and a set of second evaluators. Each of the first evaluators and the second evaluators is a fixed-function hardware circuit specialized for evaluating a respective nonlinear function. The system further includes a processor which decodes a math instruction in an instruction set, sends to the accelerator a signal identifying a nonlinear function corresponding to the math instruction, and receives an output of the nonlinear function from the accelerator. According to the signal, the accelerator evaluates the nonlinear function using one of the first evaluators. When the signal identifies the nonlinear function as a composite function, the accelerator additionally uses one of second evaluators on an output of the one first evaluator.

    Abstract: A method of new radio physical broadcast channel (NR-PBCH) bit mapping is proposed to improve for NR-PBCH decoding performance under Polar codes. NR-PBCH carries 32 information bits and 24 CRC bits. Specifically, NR-PBCH uses 512-bit Polar codes to carry total 56 data bits. Different Polar code bit channels have different channel reliability. As a general rule, the most reliable Polar code bit channels are used for the 56 data bits. In accordance with a novel aspect, within the 32 NR-PBCH information bits, some of the information bits that can be known to the decoders under certain conditions and therefore are placed at the least reliable Polar code bit positions. As a result, by mapping the NR-PBCH data bits properly at the input bit positions of Polar codes, the NR-PBCH decoding performance is improved when the known bits a priori can be exploited.

    Abstract: Concepts and schemes pertaining to information coding for mobile communications are described. A processor of an apparatus encodes data to provide encoded data. The processor also transmits the encoded data to a network node of a wireless network. In encoding the data, the processor encodes the data with a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code to provide LDPC-coded data. Moreover, the processor processes the LDPC-coded data with a forward error correction (FEC) robustness enhancement function to provide the encoded data. The FEC robustness enhancement function includes an interleaving function that interleaves the LDPC-coded data to provide the encoded data, an interlacing function that interlaces the LDPC-coded data to provide the encoded data, or a bit-reordering function that reorders bits of the LDPC-coded data to provide the encoded data.

    Abstract: A unified frame structure is scalable to meet the 5G new radio requirements, to support flexible TDD configurations, to support multiple numerologies, and to adapt to the channel properties of different spectrums up to 100 GHz. Multiple numerologies with 15 KHz subcarrier spacing and its integer or 2m multiple are proposed, where m is a positive integer. Under the unified frame structure, each radio frame is a basic operation time unit in higher layer and comprises a plurality of slots, and each slot within a radio frame is a basic scheduling time unit in physical layer and comprises a predefined number of OFDM symbols. A semi-static configuration configures DL-only slot type via system information or higher-layer signaling, while a physical layer signaling is used to dynamically configure flexible slot types.
