Benefits of technology

The present invention provides several technical effects. First, the invention introduces a new design for constrained interleavers that only use a single row vector as opposed to previous designs that needed more than one row. Second, the invention allows for different target MHD values to be used for different categories of low weight error sequences, reducing the overall probability of error. Third, the invention provides additional flexibility for designing vectorizable constrained interleavers. Fourth, the invention provides a method for designing optical subsystems using filter banks constructed using a plurality of known optical discrete-time filters. These technical effects improve the performance and data rate of optical communication systems.

Problems solved by technology

This CTC leads to very complicated rate matching circuits at both the encoder and the decoder, thus increasing over all hardware complexity of the 4G LTE CTC encoding and decoding.
OTN applications are demanding because they require very high data rates and powerful codes and the frame size used in coding / decoding is long, (122,368 message bits plus coding overhead bits).
OTN applications cannot use CTCs like LTE does because the error floors required by OTN applications are far below those afforded by CTCs.
However, the interleaver gain attainable by the CI-2 is limited to a large extent by the number of rows, L in the CI-2 design matrix.
However, when CI-2 interleavers are used, lowering L will eventually limit the achievable MHD.
The construction of the CI-2 requires many randomization operations performed in the CI-2 design matrix and a complicated process of ensuring that randomizations do to not violate any constraints in the CI-2 design matrix.
As discussed below, this CI-2 design matrix and design process actually limits BER performance.

Embodiment Construction

[0080]Throughout this written description various mathematical algorithms will be presented in the form of block diagrams. It is to be understood that in any such cases, the block diagrams can be viewed as hardware blocks or logic blocks that could be carried out in software. Likewise, especially in hardware implementations, a given block in the any block diagram herein could be embodied using two or more separate hardware sub-blocks. Hence all such modifications are contemplated as ways to implement various aspects and embodiments of the present invention. Also, it should be recognized that any block diagram whose operation is described herein can be viewed as a flow chart, thereby describing a method in addition to a system or an apparatus.

Abstract

The present invention provides a design framework that is used to develop new types of constrained turbo block convolutional (CTBC) codes that have higher performance than was previously attainable. The design framework is applied to design both random and deterministic constrained interleavers. Vectorizable deterministic constrained interleavers are developed and used to design parallel architectures for real time SISO decoding of CTBC codes. A new signal mapping technique called constrained interleaved coded modulation (CICM) is also developed. CICM is then used to develop rate matching, spatial modulation, and MIMO modulation subsystems to be used with CTBC codes and other types of codes. By way of example, embodiments are primarily provided for improved 5G LTE and optical transport network (OTN) communication systems.
