  • Patent number: 11088780
    Abstract: Blind detection of code rates for codes with incremental shortening involves determining a decoding code rate for decoding words that are based on codewords of a code that exhibits incremental shortening over a range of code rates. Incremental shortening is a code structure or coding property according to which different numbers of bits in encoding blocks that are to be encoded are set or frozen to a fixed value, to provide the range of code rates. This property enables blind detection of a decoding code rate, without explicit signaling or prior configuration of code rates between a transmitter and a receiver.
