  • Patent number: 11900221
    Abstract: A technique for performing lattice surgery without using twists is disclosed. Also, an error correcting code and decoder is provided that allows for error decoding of Pauli measurements performed in association with a lattice surgery operation. This allows for overall run-times of lattice surgery to be reduced. For example, some level of errors are tolerable, because they can be corrected, thus fewer measurement rounds (dm) may be performed for a given round of Pauli measurements. Additionally, a temporal encoding of lattice surgery technique is provided, which may additionally or alternatively be used to shorten run times. Also, a quantum computer layout is provided, wherein the layout includes a core computing region and a cache region. Also, protocols for swapping logical qubits between the core and cache are provided.

  • Patent number: 11848778
    Abstract: A polar code may be initially divided into multiple polar component codes where the features of these component codes, such as the number of component codes and the size of the component codes, are determined based on parameters such as the number of available timing units within a transmission interval, interleaving depth, and decoder capability. For each selected component code, the order of code bit generation and their indexes may be determined. The determined indexes may be assigned into different, unique groups according to the order of code bit generation. An interleaving operation may be configured and then executed according to the determined index grouping. In the transmission phase, the code bits may be transmitted based on the identified order of the bit generation in the component polar codes, such as the determined index grouping.

  • Patent number: 11848774
    Abstract: Message faults are expected to be an increasing problem in 5G and 6G, due to signal fading at high frequencies, heavy background interference, and high user densities. Retransmissions are expensive in time, power, and the additional background they generate. Prior art includes “soft-combining” among multiple copies, an especially ineffective fault mitigation procedure when SNR is low. Nevertheless, the waveform signals of even badly faulted message elements are rich with information about the correct value. Therefore, procedures are disclosed herein for determining which message elements of a corrupted message, or its associated error-detection code, are faulted, by measuring characteristic parameters of the signal waveform of each message element, and correlating those parameters with the associated error-detection code. In many cases, the corrupted message may be corrected without a retransmission, according to some embodiments.

  • Patent number: 11849349
    Abstract: As transmitters proliferate, and the transmission frequency steadily increases in 5G and especially 6G, the rate of message faults will likely increase unacceptably. Disclosed are methods for wireless receivers to detect, localize, and correct message faults using a combination of signal quality, modulation quality, and an embedded error-detection code. The error-detection code can indicate when the message is corrupted, while the signal quality and modulation quality can indicate which message elements are faulted, or can provide a likelihood that each message element is faulted. The message can then be corrected, using a combination of the error-correction code, the signal quality, and the modulation quality. In embodiments, the correction can be calculated directly from the error-detection code, or determined by altering each likely faulted message element to each of the other modulation states and testing with the error-detection code.

  • Patent number: 11843459
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an encoding and decoding device implementing an improved forward error correction (FEC) coding/decoding method. In particular, the encoding device is configured to encode a stream of data symbols using a spatially coupled code (e.g. staircase codes, braided block codes or continuously interleaved block codes), wherein at least one generalized error location (GEL) code is used as a component code of the spatially coupled code. Accordingly, the decoding device is configured to decode a sequence of encoded symbol blocks using a spatially coupled code, wherein at least one GEL code is used as a component code of the spatially coupled code. Thereby, a suitable spatially coupled FEC code that allows for very low-latency, high-throughput, high-rate applications with a low-complexity decoding procedure, and allows for mitigation of the error-floor, is designed.
