TECHNIQUES FOR EMPLOYING POLAR CODE IN CONNECTION WITH NR (NEW RADIO) - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18094068 titled 'TECHNIQUES FOR EMPLOYING POLAR CODE IN CONNECTION WITH NR (NEW RADIO)

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes techniques for polar coding and decoding in NR (New Radio) systems. These techniques can be used in User Equipment (UE) and next generation Node B (gNB) devices.

• The techniques involve determining thresholds for code block segmentation, such as payload threshold (Kseg) or code rate threshold (Rseg).
• Based on these thresholds and the current payload or code rate of an information block, code block segmentation is performed.
• The information block is then divided into multiple segments.
• Each segment is encoded using a polar encoder with a specific code size (N).

Potential Applications

• These techniques can be applied in NR systems, which are used in 5G networks and beyond.
• They can be used in UE devices, such as smartphones and tablets, to improve the efficiency and reliability of data transmission.
• The techniques can also be implemented in gNB devices, which are part of the cellular network infrastructure, to enhance the overall performance of the network.

Problems Solved

• Polar coding and decoding techniques address the need for efficient and reliable data transmission in NR systems.
• Code block segmentation helps optimize the encoding process by dividing the information block into smaller segments.
• By determining thresholds for segmentation based on payload and code rate, the techniques ensure that the encoding process is tailored to the specific characteristics of the information block.

Benefits

• The use of polar coding and decoding techniques improves the error correction capabilities of NR systems.
• Code block segmentation allows for more efficient encoding and decoding of information blocks.
• By employing polar encoding with a specific code size, the techniques can achieve higher data rates and better reliability in data transmission.

Original Abstract Submitted

Techniques discussed herein can facilitate polar coding and decoding for NR (New Radio) systems. Various embodiments discussed herein can employ polar coding and/or decoding at UE(s) (User Equipment(s)) and/or gNB(s) (next generation Node B(s)). One example embodiment employable at a UE can comprise processing circuitry configured to determine one or more thresholds for code block segmentation, wherein the one or more thresholds for code block segmentation comprise one or more of a payload threshold (Kseg) or a code rate threshold (Rseg); determine to perform code block segmentation based on the one or more thresholds and at least one of a current payload (K) of an information block or a current code rate (R) for the information block; segment the information block into a plurality of segments; and encode each segment of the plurality of segments via a polar encoder with a code size (N).
