Publication number: 20240137154Abstract: A station (STA) configured for operation in a WLAN may perform bit scrambling on input bits to generate scrambled input bits and may perform probabilistic constellation shaping using a shaping encoder on the scrambled input bits. The shaping encoder may encode a segment of the scrambled input bits for a modulation order and generate a shaped bit stream. In these embodiments, the STA may generate a QAM symbol stream with a QAM modulator. The QAM symbol stream may be generated at least from the shaped bit stream and from parity bits using the modulation order. The STA may generate the parity bits from the shaped bit streams with a forward-error correction (FEC) encoder and may transmit the QAM symbol stream within a physical layer protocol data unit (PPDU). To address a potential byte boundary shift caused a decoding error at a receiving station, the STA may modify performance of the bit scrambling when probabilistic constellation shaping is performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Qinghua Li, Hao Song, Danny Alexander, Shlomi Vituri, Assaf Gurevitz, Robert J.
