Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a new coding scheme, which is constructed by superimposing together a pair of basic codes in a twisted manner. A SCL decoding algorithm is proposed for the TPST codes, which may be early terminated by a preset threshold on the empirical divergence functions (EDF) to trade off performance with decoding complexity. The SCL decoding of TPST is based on the efficient list decoding of the basic codes, where the correct candidate codeword in the decoding list is distinguished by employing a typicality-based statistical learning aided decoding algorithm. Lower bounds for the two layers of TPST are derived, which may be used to predict the decoding performance and to show the near-ML performance of the proposed SCL decoding algorithm. The construction of TPST codes may be generalised by allowing different basic codes for the two layers.

Abstract: The invention discloses a method for transmitting additional information using linear block codes, which comprises the following steps: when encoding: a linear block code C with a code length of n and an information bit length of k is used as a payload code, to embed an additional information sequence v of length m by superposition coding and resulting into a codeword c of length n. When decoding, firstly decode the additional information according to the received sequence y: select an additional information sequence with the largest characteristic metric function value as the decode output. Then perform payload information sequence decoding: remove the interference of superposition sequence ? from the received sequence y, and then use the basic linear block code C decoder to decode.
