Abstract: A method for encoding a sequence of control information bits comprising: generating a sequence of error detection bits based on the sequence of control information bits; generating a sequence of error correction bits based on the sequence of control information bits; and distributing the sequence of error detection bits and the sequence of error correction bits between the sequence of control information bits to form a combined sequence of bits, such that the bit order of the combined sequence of bits following the distribution enables an error detection check to be performed before or after a first error correction check bit.

Abstract: A base matrix is applied to an LDPC coder. The base matrix includes multiple parts, each including multiple of rows and columns, and containing integers, each representative of an identity matrix cyclically shifted in accordance with the integer or representative of an all-zero matrix. At least two of the multiple parts are configured such that their respective column-wise combinations of rows represents a same starting vector, cyclically shifted or interleaved, with zero or more but not all integers not indicative of the all-zero matrix of the same vector substituted by integers indicative of the all-zero matrix. The at least two of the multiple parts are not identical. The applied base matrix is used for one of encoding data using the LDPC coder or decoding data using the LDPC coder.

In the receiving end, when the local decision verification code has been satisfied a preset number of times, a sliding window is shifted.

Abstract: Polar Codes for Downlink Control Channels for Wireless Networks A technique is provided for decoding downlink control information that was encoded using polar encoding, the technique including: attempting, based on an initial assumption by a user device of a segmented downlink control information, to decode a first codeword provided via a user device-specific resource, the first codeword including a first downlink control information segment and a pointer to a second downlink control information segment of a segmented downlink control information; decoding, if the attempting to decode is successful, based on the pointer, a second codeword that includes the second downlink control information segment of the segmented downlink control information; and otherwise, if the attempting to decode is unsuccessful, making an assumption of a non-segmented downlink control information and decoding a third codeword to obtain a non-segmented downlink control information.

Abstract: Identification of communication participants may be an important aspect of various communication systems. For example, fifth generation (5G) wireless communication systems may benefit from suitable recipient identification. A method can include obtaining data bits to be communicated to a target device.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from efficient encoding and decoding. For example, certain multiple-input multiple-output devices may benefit from efficient encoding and decoding while operating with two codewords.

The method can further include outputting similarly sub-matrix dimensioned code blocks of the first codeword and the second codeword as a first code blocks and second code blocks.
