Abstract: Systems and methods which provide parallel processing of multiple message bundles for a codeword undergoing a decoding process are described. Embodiments provide low-latency segmented quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDDC) decoder configurations in which decoding process tasks are allocated to different segments of the low-latency segmented QC-LDPC decoder for processing multiple bundles of messages in parallel. A segmented shifter of a low-latency segmented QC-LDPC decoder implementation may be configured to process multiple bundles of a plurality of edge paths in parallel. Multiple bundles of messages of a same check node cluster (CNC) are processed in parallel. Additionally, multiple bundles of messages of a plurality of CNCs are processed in parallel.

Abstract: Described is a method of processing a signal received at an uplink control information (UCI) receiver in a wireless communication system. The method comprises processing a signal received on an uplink (UL) at said UCI receiver to transform said received signal into a likelihood calculation of possible transmitted codewords (?1 . . . ?i . . . ?N) and determining a maximum magnitude ?max value from said likelihood calculation. The method includes comparing said maximum magnitude ?max value to a selected, calculated or predetermined scaled threshold S·? where ? is a threshold and S is a scaling factor for the threshold ?. The comparison step is such that, where |?max|2>S·?, the method comprises determining that the signal received comprises a linear block encoded signal. In the method, prior to said comparison step, the scaling factor S is selected from a plurality of scaling factor options.
