  • Publication number: 20190260392
    Abstract: Embodiments of the application provide a polar coding method for communicating information in a wireless network. Information bits are encoded using a polar code process to obtain a polar-coded bit sequence. A rate matched bit sequence is output based on the polar-coded bit sequence. The rate matched bit sequence includes a quantity M of bits from the polar-coded bit sequence, and the M bits from the polar-coded bit sequence correspond to M channel indexes in a channel index sequence S. The channel index sequence S is obtained based on a puncturing/shortening proportion P? and a prestored channel index sequence S?. Channel indexes in the prestored channel index sequence S? are sorted by channel reliability or channel capacity, and a sorting order of the M channel indexes in the channel index sequence S is the same as a sorting order of the channel indexes in the prestored channel index sequence S?.

  • Publication number: 20190260503
    Abstract: Embodiments of this application provide a method for transmitting encoded information. A communication device obtains K bits of information, and generates a to-be-encoded sequence u1N, wherein N is a length of the sequence. The device encodes the sequence u1N in an encoding process, to obtain an output sequence, and transmits the output sequence. In the sequence u1N, each of the N bits corresponds to a subchannel, and each subchannel has a reliability. The K information bits, a quantity J of first-type auxiliary bits, and a quantity J? of second-type auxiliary bits are placed in K?=K+J+J? bit positions of the sequence u1N according to reliabilities of the subchannels. Since the positions of the information bits and the auxiliary bits are pre-determined and not affected by subsequent encoding and rate-matching, overheads of real-time reliability calculation are effectively reduced, time is saved, and delay is reduced.
