讲座摘要
Current communication standards, i.e., 4G and 5G, adopt transport block (TB)-based transmission, where a block of data (or TB) consists of several code blocks (CBs). Since each CB is protected by an individual error correction code, the reliability of the whole TB depends on the individual CB. To improve the reliability, a longer channel code is required for each CB, which can increase the decoding complexity and latency considerably.
In this talk, we introduce partially information and partially parity coupled codes to address the above issues. The main idea is that consecutive codewords are coupled in a way that a fraction of information or parity bits from previous codewords become part of the information sequence of the current codeword. This class of codes have two appealing features. First, the code rate can be flexibly adjusted by varying the coupling ratio. Second, the component encoders and decoders can adopt those off-the-shelf. We start with introducing partially coupled turbo codes and show that they have decoding thresholds within 0.0002 to the binary erasure channel capacity from rates 1/3 to 9/10, yielding an attractive way for constructing capacity-approaching channel codes. Next, we introduce generalized spatially coupled parallel concatenated codes, which are proven to have threshold saturation and capacity-achieving properties. Note that this is the first class of turbo codes that are proven to be capacity-achieving. In addition, we generalize the idea of partial coupling to construct ultra-reliable coupled codes with component codes based on product codes for optical communication systems.
