摘要:
A node (110, 115) receives (804) transmissions associated with a given set of information bits, wherein each of the transmissions use a different polar code and share one or more information bits of the given set of information bits. The node determines (808), at each of a plurality of polar decoders (505, 605) of the node, soft information for each information bit included in an associated one of the transmissions, wherein each of the plurality of polar decoders is associated with a different transmission of the transmissions. The node provides (812), from each polar decoder of the plurality to one or more other polar decoders of the plurality, the determined soft information for any information bits shared by their respective associated transmissions, and uses (816) the provided soft information in an iterative decoding process to decode one or more of the received transmissions.

A transmitter for transmitting an encoded codeword over a communication channel includes a source to accept source data, an irregular polar encoder operated by a processor to encode the source data with at least one polar code to produce the encoded codeword, a modulator to modulate the encoded codeword, and a front end to transmit the modulated and encoded codeword over the communication channel. The polar code is specified by a set of regular parameters including one or combination of parameters defining a number of data bits in the codeword, a parameter defining a data index set specifying locations of frozen bits in the encoded codeword, and a parameter defining a number of parity bits in the encoded codeword. The polar code is further specified by a set of irregular parameters including one or combination of parameters defining an irregularity of values of at least one regular parameter of the polar code, a parameter defining an irregularity of permutation of the encoded bits, a parameter defining an irregularity of polarization kernels in the polar code, and a parameter defining an irregularity in selection of de-activated exclusive-or operations on different stages of the polar encoding, and wherein the irregular polar encoder encodes the codeword using the regular and the irregular parameters of the polar code.
摘要:
A forward error correction and differentially encoded signal obtained via a communication channel is supplied to a soft-input soft-output (SISO) differential decoder that is bi-directionally coupled to a SISO forward error correction decoder. Over a first portion of a plurality of decoding iterations of the differentially encoded signal, the SISO differential decoder and the SISO forward error correction decoder are operated in a turbo decoding mode in which decoded messages generated by the SISO differential decoder are supplied to the SISO forward error correction decoder and forward error correction messages are supplied to the differential decoder. Over a second portion of the plurality of decoding iterations of the differentially encoded signal, the SISO forward error correction decoder is operated in a non-turbo decoding mode without any messages passing to and from the SISO differential decoder. Decoder output is obtained from the SISO forward error correction decoder.

A first set of one or more soft detector outputs is generated. It is determined if error correction decoding is successful using the first set of soft detector outputs. In the event it is determined error correction decoding is not successful, a second set of one or more soft detector outputs is generated where a largest likelihood associated with the first set is greater than a largest likelihood associated with the second set.
摘要:
Real-time selection of interference cancellation schemes based on transmission parameters and amount of resource overlap between the desired payload and the interfering payload. Codeword level interference cancellation may be performed where the signal quality of the interfering signal indicates that the interfering payload will be decoded correctly. When performed, codeword level interference cancellation may be monitored to determine if decoding the interfering payload is converging. Other interference cancellation schemes may be selected based on the signal quality of the interfering signal or non-converging decode of the interfering payload. The number of iterations for iterative decoding in codeword level interference cancellation may be dynamically selected. The decoder output (e.g., soft bits) may be used to perform interference cancellations before the decoder is fully converged. Iterative decoding may be performed in multiple passes and soft decision output form one pass may be used to initialize the decoder for a subsequent pass.
