  • Patent number: 11870576
    Abstract: An apparatus for wireless communication is provided. The apparatus may be a receiver device that includes an error correction decoder, such as a low-density parity check (LDPC) decoder. The apparatus may achieve power savings and/or operation cycle savings by disabling the error correction decoder in scenarios where bits of a codeword in a signal transmission are received without errors. The apparatus obtains a first set of bits of a codeword, wherein the codeword includes the first set of bits and a second set of bits, and wherein the second set of bits is punctured. The apparatus recovers the second set of bits based on at least the first set of bits and determines whether to operate an error correction decoder based on a result of an error detection operation performed on the codeword using the first set of bits and the second set of bits.

  • Patent number: 11855776
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for encoding and decoding are described. To encode a vector, an encoder allocates information bits of the vector to channel instances of a channel that are separated into groups. The groups may vary in size and allocation of the information bits is based on a base sequence of a given length. During decoding, a decoder assigns different bit types to channels instances by dividing a codeword into a plurality of groups and assigning bit types to channel instances of the plurality of groups using the base sequence.

  • Publication number: 20230403585
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some systems, a user equipment (UE) may support mobility between a non-terrestrial network (NTN) cell and a terrestrial network (TN) cell. If the UE is connected to an NTN cell, the UE may determine timing for a neighboring TN cell using a reference timestamp. A first network entity supporting the NTN cell may request the reference timestamp from a second network entity supporting the TN cell. The second network entity may output the timestamp in response to the request. The first network entity may obtain the timestamp and output an indication of the timestamp to the UE in a measurement gap configuration. The UE may use the reference timestamp to determine timing for a measurement gap and may monitor for a signal (e.g., a synchronization signal) from the second network entity supporting the TN cell during the measurement gap.

  • Patent number: 11784751
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The user equipment (UE) may initiate a successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding procedure, and may perform the SCL decoding procedure across various nodes (e.g., for each information bit through a decoding tree). At each node, the UE may determine whether a relationship between a first path metric and a second path metric satisfy a threshold. In some examples, the UE may determine whether multiple thresholds are satisfied. If conditions are satisfied (e.g., the relationship between the two path metrics satisfies a threshold), then the UE may decrease a list size of the SCL decoding.
