Parallel Transport-Block Decoding to Eliminate Decoder Idle Time
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing stepwise decoding method in wireless communication networks results in low decoding resource utilization and efficiency due to varying decoding times among units, leading to idle or waiting situations for subsequent decoding units.
Innovation Solution
Divide the data transport block into multiple code blocks and decode them in parallel, allowing multiple decoding units to process different code blocks simultaneously, thereby avoiding idle or waiting situations and improving resource utilization.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If stepwise decoding is used to maintain sequential processing order, then decoding accuracy is preserved, but decoding resource utilization rate deteriorates due to idle or waiting situations in subsequent decoding units
Solution Approach 1:
The transport block is divided into multiple code blocks (N code blocks where N is an integer greater than 2), allowing different decoding units to process different code blocks simultaneously in parallel, thereby eliminating idle or waiting situations while maintaining decoding accuracy through systematic processing of each segment
Solution Approach 2:
The patent transitions from one-dimensional sequential processing to multi-dimensional parallel processing by dividing the decoding workload across multiple decoding units working simultaneously on different code blocks, increasing resource utilization without compromising decoding reliability
2Stability of the object's composition
If stepwise decoding is used to ensure systematic processing, then decoding order is maintained, but decoding efficiency deteriorates due to varying decoding times causing waiting situations
Solution Approach 1:
By segmenting the transport block into N code blocks, the patent enables parallel processing across multiple decoding units while maintaining systematic processing through the structured division and subsequent recombination of decoded code blocks, thereby improving decoding efficiency without losing processing order
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary division of the transport block into code blocks before decoding, allowing decoding units to start processing simultaneously without waiting for previous units to complete, thus maintaining processing organization while significantly improving decoding efficiency
