LDPC Code Selection by Parity Length to Reduce Block Errors
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional wireless communication systems using LDPC codes face inefficiencies due to suboptimal performance from rate matching techniques, which restrict final codes to predefined mother codes, leading to reduced performance and increased block-error rates.
Innovation Solution
A method for selecting the best candidate parity encoding code by evaluating target and offered parity encoding properties, involving comparison of information block lengths and parity bits, with options for puncturing or repetition to match target parity bits, thereby optimizing LDPC code selection for specific block lengths and rates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If rate matching techniques are used to adapt predefined mother codes, then the system can support various block lengths and code rates, but the performance is suboptimal and block-error rates increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the selection criterion from matching code rate to matching parity bit length. By selecting the mother code whose parity bit length is closest to the target parity bit length, the system achieves better performance while maintaining adaptability. This parameter change resolves the contradiction by optimizing the selection process to minimize performance degradation from rate matching.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple predefined mother codes are used for different block lengths and code rates, then code adaptability is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the selection approach from maintaining multiple specialized codes to selecting from mother codes based on parity bit length proximity. This reduces the need for extensive code collections while maintaining adaptability through intelligent selection and rate matching techniques.
3Ease of manufacture
If conventional mother code selection is used, then implementation is simplified, but encoding performance is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a feedback mechanism where the target parity bit length is calculated based on desired code rate and block length, then used to select the optimal mother code. This feedback loop ensures that the selected mother code best matches the transmission requirements, improving performance while maintaining implementation feasibility through systematic selection criteria.
