Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements an iterative feedback mechanism where the decoder generates extrinsic information that is fed back to update the a-posteriori probability vectors in the neural network. This feedback loop allows the system to progressively refine decoding decisions by incorporating correlation characteristics of chaotic sequences, thereby improving decoding accuracy without requiring a complete redesign of the system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary neural network layer (CNN-LSTM-FC blocks) that acts as a mediator between the received signal and the final decoding decision. This intermediary processes the received M-ary DCSK symbols through feature extraction and generates enhanced a-posteriori probability vectors, allowing the system to utilize chaotic sequence correlations without directly modifying the core decoder structure.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the computational process into distinct functional blocks: CNN blocks for spatial feature extraction, LSTM blocks for temporal sequence processing, and FC blocks for probability vector generation. This segmentation allows each component to perform a specific computational task efficiently, reducing overall computational energy requirements while still considering both received symbols and a-posteriori probability vectors for improved decoding accuracy.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary feature extraction and probability vector generation through the neural network before the final decoding decision is made. By pre-processing the received symbols through CNN-LSTM-FC blocks to generate enhanced a-posteriori probability vectors, the system prepares optimized input data for the decoder, reducing the computational burden during the actual decoding process.
