  • Patent number: 11057054
    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.

  • Publication number: 20200389261
    Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure provide a technique for implementing polar encoding with incremental redundancy HARQ re-transmission. In particular, a transmitter encodes a message using different polar codes to obtain a first codeword and a second codeword that is twice the length of the first codeword, and transmit the first codeword as an original transmission, and the second half of the second codeword as a re-transmission without transmitting the first half of the second codeword. Information bits that are common to both the first codeword and the second half of the second codeword is mapped to more-reliable bit-locations in the second half of the second codeword. Decoded bit values for the common information in the original transmission and retransmission is compared by the receiver to perform a parity check.
