Abstract: In a probabilistic amplitude shaping (PAS) system, a distribution matching (DM) component may receive a uniform bit sequence with equal probabilities, which may be converted into symbols with a desired probability distribution (e.g., Gaussian). For example, the probability distribution may use inner constellation points associated with a lower energy and/or power more frequently and outer constellation points associated with a higher energy and/or power less frequently. In general, the DM component may map binary bits to positive amplitudes with a non-uniform distribution according to a DM rate that is based at least in part on a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which may vary significantly in a spatial and frequency selective wireless channel. Accordingly, some aspects described herein relate to configuring DM parameters and codeword and resource mappings in a spatial and frequency selective wireless channel.

Abstract: A transmitter is provided that shapes uniformly-distributed bits into a non-uniformly distributed bits according to a parity check matrix of a linear code such that a product of the parity check matrix and the non-uniformly distributed bits equals the uniformly-distributed bits. Similarly, receiver is provided that recovers the uniformly-distributed bits from the non-uniformly distributed bits through a multiplication of the non-uniformly-distributed bits with the parity check matrix.

Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, components, devices and systems for low-density parity check (LDPC) coding. Some aspects more specifically relate to extending LDPC codewords to produce longer codewords. In some examples, a first wireless device may generate a baseline LDPC code by performing a first lifting on a base matrix, which may produce an LDPC code used for a current Wi-Fi implementation. The first wireless device may then perform a second lifting or a re-lifting (such as a cyclic lifting, a product lifting, a swapping lifting, or a combination thereof) to generate an extended lifted code. This extended lifted code may be an extension of the first LDPC code such that the first LDPC code may be preserved as part of the extended code. Then first wireless device may then transmit the extended LDPC code as an extended or lifted codeword.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A transmitting device may perform distribution matching on at least a first subset of a set of bits, such as the bits of transport block. The distribution matching may include a variable-to-fixed (v2f) distribution matching procedure in which a ratio between a quantity of input bits to output interim symbols for the v2f distribution matching procedure is variable. The distribution matching include evaluating, after each instance of the v2f distribution matching procedure, whether additional bits remain for distribution matching, and if so, whether to perform an additional instance of the v2f distribution matching procedure or an alternative distribution matching procedure on the remaining bits. Corresponding techniques for a receiving device are also described, including distribution dematching techniques based on a v2f distribution dematching procedure.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A wireless device may perform, on a set of information bits, a distribution matching procedure to obtain a distributed amplitude symbol sequence. In some cases, the wireless device may perform the distribution matching procedure using approximations of quantities of distributed amplitude symbol sequences that each have a same length and a same transmission energy. The wireless device may then encode the distributed amplitude symbol sequence and transmit the encoded distributed amplitude sequence. A device that receives the encoded distributed amplitude sequence may perform a distribution dematching procedure on the distributed amplitude sequence based on approximating quantities of distributed amplitude symbol sequences.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A wireless communication device may implement a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code to encode and/or decode bits of a signal. The LDPC code may be defined by a base graph and a lifting scheme. The base graph may include check nodes and variable nodes. The lifting scheme may define a quantity of copies of the base graph used to generate the LDPC code and respective cyclic shifts associated with connected variable nodes and check nodes. The respective cycle shifts may be defined such that one or more cycles associated with a minimum length of the LDPC code are associated with a restriction on second degree variable nodes, nodes associated with least significant bits, or a combination thereof. Additionally, or alternatively, the respective cycle shifts may be defined such that a weighted girth of the LDPC code satisfies a threshold.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described to support replacing values of one or more information bit vectors with one or more corresponding sets of parity bits. A first wireless device may replace an information bit vector with a parity bit vector, using a set of information bits of the information bit vector and based on a parity check matrix, which may result in generating the set of information bits at an information bit vector corresponding to a parity bit column of the parity check matrix, during encoding. The first wireless device may perform a transmission to a second wireless device, which may receive the transmission, decode the set of information bits to the information bit vector corresponding to the parity bit column. The second wireless device may replace other bit estimates of a vector corresponding to an information bit column with the set of information bits.

Abstract: A receiving device may identify a mutual information associated with a code block. The receiving device may identify whether the code block is decodable based on the mutual information. The receiving device may skip decoding the code block if the code block is identified as being not decodable. The receiving device may decode the code block if the code block is identified as being decodable. The code block may be identified as being not decodable if the mutual information is less than a second threshold. The code block may be identified as being decodable if the mutual information is greater than the second threshold. The receiving device may identify the second threshold based on an MCS associated with the code block or a code block length of the code block.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described herein. A transmitting device (e.g., a user equipment (UE), a network entity) may generate a low-density parity-check code according to a base graph, which may be defined by variable nodes and check nodes. The base graph may support second degree variable nodes in the information nodes of the base graph and a larger quantity of second degree nodes associated with higher significance bits than with lower significance bits. Higher significance levels (e.g., bits) may correspond to higher channel reliabilities. The base graph may be a universal base graph or may include additional rules specific to probabilistic shaping. In some examples, an interleaver may be defined to map the base graph to symbols. In some cases, the UE may report its capability to support one or more interleavers, or the network entity may configure the UE with an interleaver.
