Method and coding means for error-correction utilizing concatenated parity and turbo codes

A method and apparatus for encoding and decoding data using an overall code comprising an outer parity-check and an inner parallel concatenated convolutional, or turbo code. The overall code provides error probabilities that are significantly lower than can be achieved by using turbo codes alone. The output of the inner code can be punctured to maintain the same turbo code rate as the turbo code encoding without the outer code. Multiple parity-check codes can be concatanated either serially or in parallel as outer codes. Decoding can be performed with iterative a posteriori probability (APP) decoders or with other decoders, depending on the requirements of the system. The parity-check code can be applied to a subset of the bits to achieve unequal error protection. Moreover, the techniques presented can be mapped to higher order modulation schemes to achieve improved power and bandwidth efficiency.

Random code length polar encoding method

A random code length polar encoding method includes: during construction of a polar code, if the code length is not the power of 2, using a group of virtual channels with the capacity of zero for supplementing the channel number to be the power of 2; performing mixed mapping for each channel according to the capacity equalization principle; and performing polar conversion for the obtained channels, selecting the channels with higher capacity from converted channels according to the designed bitrate for transmitting information bit sequences, and using the rest channels for transmitting a known fixed bit sequence of a receiving end and a transmitting end. The method enables polar encoding to allow the code length to be an optional positive integer and is applicable to multi-carrier and high-order modulation systems, and the added perforating operation enables the encoding bit sequences outputted by an encoder to be optional in length; by means of channel mixed mapping, polar encoding can adapt to different component channels of parallel channels, so that anti-noise performance is good; and flexibility of using polar codes for a practical digital communication system is greatly improved, and accordingly the method has good application prospect.

Highly bandwidth-efficient communications

A discrete multitone stacked-carrier spread spectrum communication method is based on frequency domain spreading including multiplication of a baseband signal by a set of superimposed, or stacked, complex sinusoid carrier waves. In a preferred embodiment, the spreading involves energizing the bins of a large Fast Fourier transform (FFT). This provides a considerable savings in computational complexity for moderate output FFT sizes. Point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint (nodeless) network topologies are possible. A code-nulling method is included for interference cancellation and enhanced signal separation by exploiting the spectral diversity of the various sources. The basic method may be extended to include multielement antenna array nulling methods for interference cancellation and enhanced signal separation using spatial separation. Such methods permit directive and retrodirective transmission systems that adapt or can be adapted to the radio environment. Such systems are compatible with bandwidth-on-demand and higher-order modulation formats and use advanced adaptation algorithms. In a specific embodiment the spectral and spatial components of the adaptive weights are calculated in a unified operation based on the mathematical analogy between the spectral and spatial descriptions of the airlink.

Reduced complexity receiver for space-time- bit-interleaved coded modulation

A system employs space-time coding characterized at the transmitter by bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) combined with modulating several streams of the BICM encoded data for transmission over two or more antennas. Space-time coding techniques improve transmission efficiency in radio channels by using multiple transmit and / or receive antennas and coordination of the signaling over these antennas. Bit-interleaved coded modulation provides good diversity gain with higher-order modulation schemes that employ binary convolutional codes. A receiver demodulates the received signals and applies multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) demapping to estimate the BICM encoded bitstream. After deinterleaving of the BICM encoded bitstream, maximum a posteriori (MAP) decoding is applied to the resulting bit stream to generate soft output values. By applying well-known turbo-decoding principles to iteratively demap and decode, the overall receiver performance is significantly improved. The MIMO demapping and MAP decoding processes exchange likelihood information to improve the bit error rate performance over several iterations of demapping / decoding. By generating tentative decisions for transmitted bits, the overall number of evaluations used for demapping may be reduced.

Downstream adaptive modulation in DOCSIS based communications systems

A downstream adaptive modulation system and method. The downstream adaptive modulation system comprises a wireless access termination system and one or more wireless modems. The wireless access termination system includes a plurality of queues and a parser. The parser parses data traffic onto the plurality of queues. Each queue is associated with a different coding and modulation scheme. Each of the one or more wireless modems receives data traffic from the plurality of queues based on the wireless modem's ability to demodulate and decode the signal from each of the plurality of queues. When a wireless modem experiences a change in signal strength, the present invention enables the wireless modem to adapt to data from other queues to compensate for the change in signal strength. Thus, if the signal strength improves over a period of time, the wireless modem may receive data at a higher order modulation and FEC code rate. If the signal strength weakens over a period of time, the wireless modem may receive data at a lower order modulation and FEC code rate.

Multi-antenna codebook selection modulation method for solving weak scattering

A multi-antenna codebook selection modulation method for solving weak scattering is provided by the present invention. The method obtains higher diversity gain from a combination of multi-antenna codebook pre-coding and a rotation modulation solution by designing a new codebook selection rule. The present invention employs a design solution of designing a higher-order modulation diversity and space interleaver to obtain the higher diversity gain. In addition, the number of transmission antennas and the number of rotation modulation dimension can be set arbitrarily. However, the present invention takes the number Nt of transmission antennas to be equal to the number D of rotation modulation dimension in order to obtain higher diversity gain. In this way, the method evenly disperses signals of each dimension after D-dimensional rotation to each antenna through space interleaving technique, so that the signals of each dimension suffer different fading, thus enabling space diversity gain. With the present invention, the data of a transmitting end are pre-coded by using a channel value estimated for an ideal channel.

A method and apparatus for determining an optimum modulation scheme for a retransmission in a communication system supporting HARQ. When two modulation schemes are available, at an initial transmission, information is modulated in the lower-order modulation scheme if a first MPR is less than a first threshold, and in the higher-order modulation scheme if the first MPR is greater than or equal to the first threshold. Here, an MPR is determined by an EP size, the number of available Walsh codes, and the number of slots per sub-packet that are used for a transmission. To select one of the modulation schemes for a retransmission, a second MPR is calculated using an EP size, the number of available Walsh codes, and the number of slots per sub-packet that are used for the retransmission. If the first MPR is equal to or less than a second threshold greater than the first threshold, the lower-order modulation scheme is selected.
