Solution Overview

Problem

Bursty interference in wireless communication networks leads to inefficient retransmissions of entire data blocks, even when interference affects only a small percentage of information blocks, due to overhead constraints and lack of independent transmission of individual blocks.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus for generating code blocks and parity check code blocks, where information bits and parity bits are created based on received data bits, allowing for error correction and efficient decoding at mobile devices, thereby mitigating the impact of bursty interference.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If entire transmission blocks are retransmitted when any block experiences interference, then reliability is improved, but resource efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission reliabilityVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The transmission block is segmented into multiple independently decodable code blocks, each with its own parity bits. This allows the receiver to identify and correct errors in individual code blocks without requiring retransmission of the entire transmission block, thus improving resource efficiency while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Parity bits are pre-calculated and attached to each code block before transmission. This preliminary error detection capability enables the receiver to identify corrupted blocks immediately upon reception, allowing for selective retransmission of only affected blocks rather than the entire transmission block.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Productivity

If individual code blocks are made independently transmittable with parity bits, then productivity is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoidencoding complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The encoding process segments the transmission block into multiple code blocks, each independently processed with its own parity bit calculation. This modular approach enables parallel processing and independent decoding, improving transmission efficiency while keeping the complexity of each individual encoding operation manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Each code block is equipped with its own parity bits that enable self-diagnosis of errors. The receiver can independently verify each code block using its attached parity bits without requiring complex system-wide error detection mechanisms, thus improving productivity while controlling complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Coding for bursty interference is discussed in which a base station receives data bits for transmission. The base station may generate code blocks including information bits and parity bits. The base station may also generate parity check code blocks including information bits corresponding to information bits of the generated code blocks. The base station may transmit the code blocks and the parity check code blocks to a mobile device to improve decoding. When errors are detected, the mobile device may decode the received code blocks using hard or soft parity checks and the parity check code blocks.
