Wireless Control Signaling Coding to Reduce Dummy Bits

The control information is segmented into multiple groups based on their characteristics (e.g., L1 signaling information, L2 signaling information, PLP information). Each group is encoded separately with appropriate coding schemes and rates, avoiding the need to add dummy bits to the entire control information block. This segmentation allows efficient use of communication resources by matching the coding strategy to the specific requirements of each information type.

The patent applies different coding parameters (coding rate, block length) to different groups of control information based on their specific requirements. For example, L1 signaling information may use one coding rate while L2 signaling information uses another. This parameter differentiation achieves variable bit-length efficiency without requiring complex adaptive encoding, as the parameters are determined based on pre-established criteria for each information type.

The control information is divided into multiple encodable groups (L1 signaling, L2 signaling, PLP information) that can be independently encoded. Each group is processed separately with its own encoding parameters, eliminating the need to add dummy bits to pad the entire control information to a fixed length. This segmentation maintains reasonable encoding complexity while dramatically reducing dummy bit requirements.

Different coding strategies and parameters are applied to different local regions (groups) of control information based on their specific characteristics. L1 signaling information that requires high reliability may use lower coding rates, while L2 signaling information may use higher coding rates. This local quality approach optimizes resource efficiency for each information type without requiring complex global adaptation, maintaining encoding simplicity while improving overall resource utilization.
