Solution Overview

Problem

In wireless communication systems, particularly in 5G networks, the traditional methods for channel coding in LTE systems face challenges in optimizing decoding performance due to the continuous nature of bits in Downlink Control Information (DCI) formats, which affects the efficiency of polar code decoding.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced where a first information block, comprising M sub-information blocks and Q padding bits, is generated and interleaved to create a bit block for polar code channel coding, allowing for discontinuous bit distribution that optimizes decoding performance by rearranging bits based on their reliability coefficients and using a specific interleaving table to improve decoding efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If bits in DCI formats are arranged continuously in traditional LTE systems, then the structure is simple and easy to implement, but decoding performance is not optimized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecoding performanceVSAvoidbit arrangement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The information block is divided into multiple sub-information blocks, where each sub-information block corresponds to a specific DCI format type. This segmentation allows different bit arrangements for different DCI formats, optimizing decoding performance for each format while maintaining manageable complexity through structured organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different bit arrangement strategies are applied to different sub-information blocks based on their specific requirements. Each sub-information block can have its bits arranged discontinuously according to the reliability coefficients of corresponding polar code subchannels, achieving localized optimization without requiring complete reorganization of the entire bit stream.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Productivity

If bits are interleaved based on reliability coefficients to optimize decoding, then decoding efficiency is improved, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecoding efficiencyVSAvoidinterleaving processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The bits are pre-interleaved according to the reliability coefficients of polar code subchannels before channel encoding. This preliminary arrangement ensures that after decoding, the bits can be directly mapped to the correct positions without requiring complex post-decoding reorganization, thus improving decoding efficiency while controlling processing complexity through advance preparation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The bit positions are changed based on the reliability coefficient parameters of the polar code subchannels. By mapping bits to positions corresponding to subchannels with appropriate reliability coefficients, the system optimizes the likelihood of successful decoding while maintaining a systematic approach to the transformation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If discontinuous bit distribution is used in sub-information blocks, then decoding performance is optimized, but the bit block structure becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecoding reliabilityVSAvoidbit block structure stability
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The bit block is segmented into multiple sub-information blocks, each with its own discontinuous bit distribution pattern. This segmentation allows each sub-block to achieve optimized decoding reliability through discontinuous arrangement while the overall structure maintains stability through the consistent framework of multiple organized sub-blocks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Discontinuous bit distribution is applied locally within each sub-information block rather than uniformly across the entire bit block. Each sub-block can have its bits arranged according to the specific reliability requirements of its corresponding DCI format, achieving local optimization while preserving the global structural stability of the bit block composition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
