Description

method and device for data transmission by using multi-polarization code
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of communications, and more particularly, to methods and apparatuses for data transmission using a multi-polarization code.
Background
Recently, th polarization Code (English: Polar Code; Polar Code for short) theoretically proves that Shannon capacity can be obtained and good Code with Low coding complexity (O (NlogN), wherein N is Code length) is provided by Arikan.
Polar code encoding
Polar code is linear block code, and the encoding process is as follows:
wherein the content of the first and second substances,

wherein N is 2n,n≥1,BNAs a transpose matrix, such as a bit reversal matrix (english),is the Kronecker product, which is defined as

Figure GPA0000233673180000027
Polar codes may be represented as coset codes (N, K, a,
Figure GPA0000233673180000028
) Wherein, K is the number of information bits, and the encoding process is as follows:wherein A is an information bit indexSet of (2), GN(A) Is GNIn which a sub-matrix is formed by the rows corresponding to the indices in the set A, GN(Ac) Is GNIn (A) is setcThe sub-matrix is composed of rows corresponding to the indexes in (1),

is a fixed bit (English: free bit) with the number of (N-K).
Figure GPA00002336731800000211
For known bits, the fixed bits may all be set to 0 for simplicity.
When N is 8, the Polar code is encoded as shown in fig. 1.

Simple order
Figure GPA00002336731800000310
Like SC coding, List coding is also sequential coding, and the process is briefly described as follows:
to avoid too many reserved sequences, the decoder will reserve up to fixed number of sequences, which may avoid or reduce the decisions in the SC decoder for the newly decoded information bits.
1) (path splitting) each time ifIs information bit or free bit, and splits the current decoding path into two paths:
Figure GPA00002336731800000312
pieces of
Figure GPA00002336731800000313
, discarding the least reliable paths when the total number of paths exceeds a predefined limit of , L, keeping only the L most reliable paths, and updating the probability values or log-likelihood ratios (english: L) on all pathsAn og Likelihood Ratio; for short: LLR).
2) (without path splitting) if
Figure GPA00002336731800000314
Is a fixed bit, all decoding paths are not split, setKeeping the path number unchanged and updating probability values or LLRs of all paths;
when L is 4, decoding paths of non-fixed bits are as shown in fig. 2, and a flow chart of List decoding in case of cascade connection of Polar codes with a survivor path number of L and Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) is as shown in fig. 3.
Thus, Polar code pairProcessed sequentially one by one, the complexity of SC coding is O (N log)2N), the complexity of List coding is O (L × N × log)2N)。
Although the SC decoding can achieve good performance approaching to the shannon limit under the condition of long code length N, when N is short or medium, the SC decoding performance of Polar code does not exceed the performance of Turbo code and LDPC code, and it is necessary to further to improve the decoding performance.
The performance of List coding is -fold higher than SC coding, which is about L times more complex than SC coding, and needs to be simplified.
The scheme of Polar code combining the existing and high-order modulation is a scheme of multilayer code, namely, the high-order modulation is regarded as a plurality of binary White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channels, and Polar codes are used for the AWGN channel of each bin;
the scheme combining Polar codes of multilayer codes and high-order modulation has information loss during high-order modulation and demodulation, and finally the whole scheme has constant information loss, so that constant loss is required for the performance relative to the optimal scheme.

Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are partial embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments.
The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention can be applied to various communication systems, such as: a Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) System, a Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) System, a Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) System, a General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), a Long Term Evolution (Long Term Evolution, LTE) System, a Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) System, a Time Division Duplex (TDD), a Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), a world wide Mobile Access (WiMAX) communication System, or a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) 5 (Public Land Mobile network).
User Equipment (UE), also referred to as Mobile Terminal (Mobile Terminal), Mobile User Equipment (UE), and so on, may communicate with or more core networks via a Radio Access Network (RAN, Radio Access Network, for example), where the UE may be a Mobile Terminal, such as a Mobile phone (or referred to as a "cellular" phone) and a computer having a Mobile Terminal, such as a portable, pocket, hand-held, computer-included, or vehicle-mounted Mobile device, which exchange languages and/or data with the Radio Access Network.
The Base Station may be a Base Transceiver Station (BTS) in GSM or CDMA, a Base Station (NodeB) in WCDMA, an evolved node b (eNB or e-NodeB) in LTE, or a Base Station in a 5G network, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
According to the principle of coded modulation, if q-ary Polar codes adopted during data transmission are not matched with M-order modulation (for example, q ≠ M), the problem of conversion of multi-system and binary soft information is introduced, so that loss is caused in the information reprocessing process and the Polar codes are generally used for binary channels, and even if a scheme of multi-layer codes is adopted, high-order modulation is considered as a plurality of binary channels, so that loss is caused.
In order to apply Polar codes to the situation of high-price modulation, the embodiment of the invention provides construction algorithms of multi-element Polar codes applied to high-order modulation, wherein an alphabet is merged and output by using a greedy principle in each basic unit polarization transformations, so that the number of the sizes of the alphabets is controllable after each levels of basic polarization transformations, and the complexity is also controllable, and therefore, the construction algorithms of the multi-element Polar codes with the complexity of polynomials are designed, and the performance of the Polar codes and the high-order modulation when combined can be greatly improved by the construction algorithms of the multi-element Polar codes described in the patent, namely, the information loss and the control algorithm complexity are reduced.
FIG. 4 shows the basic units of multi-element Polar codes provided by the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 4, let W1:x1→y1And W2:x2→y2
The corresponding transformation of the basic unit of the multi-element Polar code is as follows:
wherein, W-、W+The probability of (c) is obtained by the following formula,
Figure GPA0000233673180000111
W+(y1y2u1|u2)=W1(y1|u1+u2)W2(y2|u2)
it should be noted that, where u1、u2Is defined in a multivariate field (e.g., q-ary or q-ary), u1、u2The addition between is a modulo q addition. In particular, for two unpolarized signalsWay W1、W2Performing a single step poling operation, wherein x1、x2Is a channel input symbol, y1、y2Is a channel output symbol; will u2Direct assignment to x2Wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure GPA0000233673180000113
although generally, addition modulo q (or mod q) or addition in the Galois Field GF (q) generally does not result in channel polarization.
Taking 16QAM as an example, it is necessary to define an addition operation that can cause channel polarization for 16 QAM. Let the input alphabet set of 16QAM be as follows:
χ={(x1,x2):x1,x2∈{-3,-1,+1,+3}}
then, the definition of "addition" under 16QAM that can cause channel polarization is shown in fig. 5, and it should be noted that fig. 5 shows
Figure GPA0000233673180000114
The expression "3" indicates that,it should be understood that fig. 4 is only expressions of basic units of the multi-Polar code provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and other manners capable of realizing polarization can be applied to the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, and thus all manners capable of realizing polarization are within the scope of the embodiment of the present invention.
After defining the addition operation of the multivariate field, we can obtain the following construction algorithm of multivariate (also called multilevel, such as q-ary, English: q-ary) Polar code:
the Polar code construction means that under the condition that the matching of multi-Polar codes and high-order modulation is met, the number of channel transfer probabilities entering a construction algorithm is controlled by means of pre-combination or greedy combination, so that complexity is reduced, K channels with the minimum upper bound of channel error probability are selected for coding transmission, information loss can be reduced, and data transmission by means of the multi-Polar codes is completed.
Taking q-ary as an example, the construction algorithm of Polar code mainly comprises two stages: a pre-merge stage and a greedy merge stage; wherein the time complexity of the precombinations stage is O (M)2) (ii) a The temporal complexity of the greedy merge stage is O (M)3)。
channels W, y of input alphabet size q and output alphabet size M1、y2For an index of two letters (in the output alphabet) (where the input alphabet size q indicates that there are q possibilities for the input or out of q symbols for the input, the meaning of the output alphabet size M is similar.) taking as an example the basic unit shown in fig. 4, let u be the input1、u2With 16 different values ({ -3, -1, +1, +3}, -3, -1, +1, +3}) respectively, the input alphabet size is 16, and y is1,y2There are M kinds of values, the output alphabet size is M, and y is used1、y2Representing two letters in the M values.
Step 601 a: pre-combining a plurality of channels;
when the posterior probability distance between two letters is smaller than the preset confidence parameter, the channels corresponding to the two letters are merged, the channel transition probabilities corresponding to the two letters are added, and letters are selected by the alphabet after merging.
The merging in the embodiment of the present invention is performed for a plurality of channels, where the plurality of channels refers to that the input channels W with an alphabet size q and an output channel W with an alphabet size M output an alphabet size M, and there are possible values in M, so that a plurality of different channels may be formed, and these channels may be pre-merged or greedy merged to reduce complexity.
Wherein the posterior probability distance between two letters is defined as follows:
channels W, y of input alphabet size q and output alphabet size M1、y2For the index of two letters (in the output alphabet), then y is received1、y2The probabilities of (c) are respectively:
Figure GPA0000233673180000121
will receive y1、y2The probabilities of (A) and (B) are respectively classified into and 1/2, the results after classification into are as follows:
Figure GPA0000233673180000122
when y is calculated1、y2Capacity difference at merging:
Figure GPA0000233673180000123
the capacity difference is then: 1+ σ/q where σ is the noise variance.
Then y is1、y2The posterior probability distance between them is:
APPdistance(y1,y2)=1+σ/q,
that is, when y1、y2Merging y under the condition of when the received probabilities are all 1/21、y2The difference in capacity generated is y1、y2The posterior probability distance between.
step, when APPdistance(y1,y2) E.g. when y is ≦ epsilon1、y2When the posterior probability distance between the two is less than or equal to the preset confidence parameter epsilon, for y1、y2Merging;
specifically, for y1、y2The merging can be realized by the following processes:
1,2, …, q, for every u:
W(y1|u)=W(y1|u)+W(y2|u)
W(y2|u)=W(yM|u)
after the above operations are performed on all u, the value of M is decreased by 1, that is, as long as merging operations are performed, the value of M is decreased by 1 accordingly, that is, the size of the output alphabet is 1 less than the size before merging.
According to the above steps, all y can be traversed1、y2To implement pre-combining of multiple channels; for example, when y 11,2, …, M, for y2=y1+1,y1+2, …, M performs the above steps to achieve precombining of multiple channels it should be noted that each time combining operations are performed, y2Is reduced by 1 (i.e., y is included) accordingly based on the value at the time of merging2=y2-1 this step).
Step 602 a: greedy merging is carried out on a plurality of channels;
when the combination distance between the two letters is smaller than the optimal limit value, combining the channels corresponding to the two letters, and repeating the steps until the size of the output alphabet is smaller than or equal to the preset reliability parameter, wherein the optimal limit value is the combination distance between the two letters with the minimum combination distance for the upper times, and the initial value can be set to 1.
Wherein the merging distance between two letters is defined as follows:

Figure GPA0000233673180000142
, all y's can be traversed according to the definition of the merge distance described above1、y2To find the two letters with the smallest merging distance; for example, when y 11,2, …, M, for y2=y1+1,y1+2, …, M performs: if MergeDistance (y)1,y2)<ε(best)Then y at this time1、y2To merge two letters with the smallest distance and limit the optimum to epsilon(best)Update to MergeDistance (y)1,y2). So that the two letters with the minimum merging distance can be found and merged, wherein the merging operation method is the same as the merging operation method in the pre-merging (i.e. the same as the merging operation method in step 601 a), but the two letters with the minimum merging distance are merged. In addition, the merging distance defined in the embodiment of the present invention is a capacity difference after merging.
Alternatively, the above construction algorithm can also be implemented by the following five algorithms:
algorithm 1 is used to implement the steps of precombinations: for y 11,2, …, each value of M and y2=y1+1,y1+2, …, each value of M when y is1、y2When the posterior probability distance between the y and y is less than or equal to the preset confidence parameter epsilon, merging the y1、y2Wherein the merging method is the same as the merging method in the step 601a, and in addition, merging y is performed every time times2Is reduced by 1 on the basis of the value at the time of combining algorithm 1 is mainly based on combining the original channels (x- > y) reducing the number of samples of channel transition probability entering the construction algorithm, thus reducing complexity, specifically possible implementations of algorithm 1 are as follows:
algorithm 2 is used to define the combining step of the pre-combining stage, and the basic implementation is to combine the alphabet pairs of the combined received signals, add the combined probabilities, and select from the combined alphabets.

Algorithm 3 is used to define the merging criterion (or a posteriori probability distance) of the pre-merging phase, i.e. the (letters) selected for merging are chosen by the posteriori probability distance, algorithm 3 gives a definition of the posteriori probability distance, the definition of the particular posteriori probability distance being the same as in step 601 a. in particular, possible implementations of algorithm 3 are as follows:
algorithm 4 is used to define the steps of the greedy merging phase, which merges greedily according to the merging distance, i.e., the smaller the merging distance, the more preferential merging is performed, until the size of the output alphabet reaches a given parameter.

Algorithm 5 is used to define the merge criterion (or merge distance) of the greedy merge stage, i.e. the merge is selected by the merge distance, and Algorithm 5 gives a definition of the merge distance, which is the capacity difference after the merge, and the definition of the specific merge distance is the same as the definition in step 602 a. specifically, possible implementations of Algorithm 5 are as follows:
