  • Patent number: 12119932
    Abstract: Systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments of the invention enable communicating using nested Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) codes. A nested LDPC code is an LDPC code having a full blocklength, where shorter blocklengths of the nested LDPC code can be utilized as shorter blocklength LDPC codes. In certain embodiments, a transmitter utilizes a nested LDPC code to communicate via a point-to-point connection. In several embodiments, multiple transmitters utilize nested LDPC codes to communicate simultaneously via a Random Access Channel. One embodiment includes a transmitter capable of encoding a message as symbols using a nested LDPC code until a feedback message indicating an end of epoch message is received. A receiver can determine whether a decoding rule is satisfied at predetermined decode times and transmit an end of epoch message when the decoder can decode a message based upon the nested LDPC code.

  • Patent number: 11611356
    Abstract: A low density parity check (LDPC) channel encoding method is used in a wireless communications system. A communication device encodes an input bit sequence by using an LDPC matrix, to obtain an encoded bit sequence for transmission. The LDPC matrix is obtained based on a lifting factor Z and a base matrix. The base matrix may be one of eight exemplary designs. The encoding method can be used in various communications systems including fifth generation (5G) telecommunication systems, and can support various encoding requirements for information bit sequences with different code lengths.

  • Patent number: 11602005
    Abstract: An improved cellular network architecture enables the distribution of Radio Resource Control (RRC) inactive state to devices in a core network. A mobility manager receives subscription requests from core network devices requesting notification of user equipment (UE) transitions to RRC Inactive states. Upon receiving an RRC transition report for a UE that indicates a transition to an RRC Inactive state, the mobility manager publishes an event including data representing the RRC inactive state and a UE identifier. Subscribing network elements receive this event and can adjust operations accordingly, including temporarily suspending operations until a further RRC state change.

    Abstract: A bit interleaver, a bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM) device and a bit interleaving method are disclosed herein. The bit interleaver includes a first memory, a processor, and a second memory. The first memory stores a low-density parity check (LDPC) codeword having a length of 64800 and a code rate of 4/15. The processor generates an interleaved codeword by interleaving the LDPC codeword on a bit group basis. The size of the bit group corresponds to a parallel factor of the LDPC codeword. The second memory provides the interleaved codeword to a modulator for 1024-symbol mapping.

  • Patent number: 11469775
    Abstract: A method for decoding a Low Density Parity Check code. At each decoding iteration, as long as the syndrome of the estimated word indicates an error, a set ({tilde over (F)}) of the least reliable bits of the word is determined as those where the value of a local energy function ({tilde over (E)}n) is less than a threshold value. The local energy value of a bit includes a first component proportional to the correlation between this bit and a sample corresponding to the observed signal, a second component representing the number of non-satisfied constraints wherein the bit acts, and a third component decreasing with the number (n) of iterations made since the last flipping of this bit. The bits of the estimated word belonging to this set are flipped, where applicable with a predetermined probability, to provide a new estimated word at the following iteration.

  • Patent number: 11451988
    Abstract: A network node (200), a wireless device (202) and methods therein, for indicating and handling assignment of measurement resources in a predefined region of a resource block transmitted by the network node (200). The network node (200) identifies (2:1) a wireless device (202) that is required to perform measurements on signals transmitted by the network node (200) and/or measurements of interference. The network node (200) then assigns (2:2) to the wireless device (202) usage of the measurement resources in the predefined region, and signals (2:3) an indication of the assigned usage of the measurement resources to the wireless device (202). The wireless device (202) is then able to determine and use (2:4) the measurement resources based on the received indication. Thereby, the usage of the measurement resources can be assigned in a dynamic and flexible manner, e.g. depending on the current need for measurement resources.
