Abstract: Exemplary embodiments for providing multi-bit error correction based on a BCH code are provided. In one such embodiment, the following operations are repeatedly performed, including shifting each bit of the BCH code rightward by 1 bit while filling the bit vacated due to the rightward shifting in the BCH code with 0, calculating syndrome values corresponding to the shifting of the BCH code, and determining a first error number in the BCH code under the shifting based on the syndrome values corresponding to the shifting of the BCH code. In the case where the first error number is not equal to 0, modified syndrome values are calculated corresponding to the shifting of the BCH code. The modified syndrome values are those corresponding to the case that the current rightmost bit of the BCH code under the shifting is changed to the inverse value. Additional operations are performed as described herein.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are described for wireless communication at a device. Demodulation reference signals (DMRS) may be used to facilitate demodulation of low latency control or data channels, or both. A wireless communication device may, for example, identify a carrier configuration with transmission time intervals (TTIs) of different durations. A carrier may be configured with TTIs that support low latency operations. A DMRS pattern for resources of a low latency TTI may be determined, and that first DMRS pattern may be based on a DMRS pattern for resources of another, longer-duration TTI. Devices may thus communicate using resources of a low latency TTI based on the first DMRS pattern. For example, a user equipment (UE) may demodulate resources of a low latency channel using the first DMRS pattern, and the first DMRS pattern may be consistent with DMRS patterns supporting non-low latency within a common wireless system.
