摘要:
A method for parallel concatenated (Turbo) encoding and decoding. Turbo encoders receive a sequence of input data tuples and encode them. The input sequence may correspond to a sequence of an original data source, or to an already coded data sequence such as provided by a Reed-Solomon encoder. A turbo encoder generally comprises two or more encoders separated by one or more interleavers. The input data tuples may be interleaved using a modulo scheme in which the interleaving is according to some method (such as block or random interleaving) with the added stipulation that the input tuples may be interleaved only to interleaved positions having the same modulo-N (where N is an integer) as they have in the input data sequence. If all the input tuples are encoded by all encoders then output tuples can be chosen sequentially from the encoders and no tuples will be missed. If the input tuples comprise multiple bits, the bits may be interleaved independently to interleaved positions having the same modulo-N and the same bit position. This may improve the robustness of the code. A first encoder may have no interleaver or all encoders may have interleavers, whether the input tuple bits are interleaved independently or not. Modulo type interleaving also allows decoding in parallel.

System correcting random and/or burst errors using RS (Reed-Solomon) code, turbo/LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) code and convolutional interleave. A novel approach is presented that combines different coding types within a communication system to perform various types of error correction. This combination of accommodating different coding types may be employed at either end of a communication channel (e.g., at a transmitter end when performing encoding and/or at a receiver end when performing decoding). By combining different coding types within a communication system, the error correcting capabilities of the overall system is significantly improved. The appropriate combination of turbo code and/or LDPC code along with RS code allows for error correction or various error types including random error and burst error (or impulse noise).

Amplifying magnitude metric of received signals during iterative decoding of LDPC code and LDPC coded modulation. By appropriately selecting a metric coefficient value that is used to calculate the initial conditions when decoding LDPC coded signals, a significant reduction in BER may be achieved at certain SNRs. The appropriate selection of the metric coefficient value may be performed depending on the particular SNR at which a communication system is operating. By adjusting this metric coefficient value according to the given LDPC code, modulation, and noise variance, the overall performance of the decoding may be significantly improved. The convergence speed is slowed down so that the decoder will not go to the wrong codeword, and the moving range of the outputs of the decoder is restricted so that the output will not oscillate too much and will eventually move to the correct codeword.

A method for asymmetrical MIMO wireless communication begins by determining a number of transmission antennas for the asymmetrical MIMO wireless communication. The method continues by determining a number of reception antennas for the asymmetrical MIMO wireless communication. The method continues by, when the number of transmission antennas exceeds the number of reception antennas, using spatial time block coding for the asymmetrical MIMO wireless communication. The method continues by, when the number of transmission antennas does not exceed the number of reception antennas, using spatial multiplexing for the asymmetrical MIMO wireless communication.

IPHD (Iterative Parallel Hybrid Decoding) of various MLC (Multi-Level Code) signals. Various embodiments are provided by which IPHD may be performed on MLC LDPC (Multi-Level Code Low Density Parity Check) coded modulation signals mapped using a plurality of mappings. This IPHD may also be performed on MLC LDPC coded modulation signals mapped using only a singe mapping as well. In addition, various embodiments are provided by which IPHD may be performed on ML TC (Multi-Level Turbo Code) signals. These principles of IPHD, shown with respect to various embodiments IPHD of MLC LDPC coded modulation signals as well as the IPHD of ML TC signals, may be extended to performing IPHD of other signal types as well. Generally speaking, based on the degree of the MLC signal, a corresponding number of parallel paths operate in cooperation to decode the various levels of the MLC signal.
摘要:
LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) coded modulation hybrid decoding. A novel approach is presented wherein a combination of bit decoding and symbol level decoding (e.g., hybrid decoding) is performed for LDPC coded signals. Check node updating and symbol node updating are successively and alternatively performed on bit edge messages for a predetermined number of decoding iterations or until a sufficient degree of precision is achieved. The symbol node updating of the bit edge messages involves using symbol metrics corresponding to the symbol being decoded as well as the bit edge messages most recently updated by check node updating. The check node updating of the bit edge messages involves using the bit edge messages most recently updated by symbol node updating. The symbol node updating also involves computing possible soft symbol estimates for the symbol during each decoding iteration.
