Solution Overview

Problem

The transition from LTE to 5G communications systems requires a change in data channel coding methods, as the coding procedure used for turbo codes in LTE cannot be directly applied to the low-density parity-check code (LDPC) used in 5G systems, necessitating a method to perform LDPC coding on transport blocks effectively.

Innovation Solution

A wireless transmission device determines a target modulation and coding scheme (MCS) level based on correspondence tables, allowing it to perform LDPC coding or decoding on transport blocks by selecting appropriate modulation schemes and transport block parameters, including code rate information and LDPC base graph information, to optimize channel usage.
