- the sub-channel corresponding to 100 is the The first subchannels obtained by the four W4 polarizations have the same position in the outer code, which corresponds to the partial ordering corresponding to the above branch (2). Since the polarization sub-channels corresponding to 000 and 100 are the two sub-channels obtained by W3 and W4 through the same subsequent polarization process respectively, the reliability of the polarization sub-channels corresponding to 000 and 001 is determined by the relationship between W3 and W4 . Since W3 ⁇ W4, (000) ⁇ (100). Similarly, we can see that (001) ⁇ (101), (010) ⁇ (110), (011) ⁇ (111).

Description
本申请要求于2018年12月27日提交国家知识产权局、申请号为201811613411.2、申请名称为“极化编码调制的方法和装置”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
本申请涉及信道编码领域,更具体地,涉及一种极化编码调制的方法和装置。
极化码(polar codes)是一种理论上被严格证明可以达到信道容量的结构化的信道编码方法,近年来已经得到了长足的发展。在实际的通信系统中,为了提高频谱利用率,通常会采用高阶调制。因此,极化码与高阶调制的结合也得到越来越多的关注,以期达到编码调制的联合优化。目前,极化编码调制主要是采用比特交织极化编码调制(bit interleaver polar coded modulation,BIPCM)框架。在BIPCM框架中,发送端通过在编码器和调制器之间加入了比特级的交织器来消除比特之间的相关性。接收端对接收到的信号进行并行解调,得到发送端传输的比特序列的软信息,之后进行极化译码。
在BIPCM框架中,M进制调制的输入信道可以分解为m个并行的调制子信道,M≥1,m≥1,且M和m均为整数。根据信道容量等效准则,可以得到与该m个调制子信道的容量相等的二进制加性白高斯噪声(additive white Gaussian noise,AWGN)的噪声方差。最后,采用高斯近似迭代计算各个极化子信道的可靠度,并进行极化码构造。
但是,高斯近似迭代计算的复杂度非常高,在实际的通信系统中实用化困难。

应理解,接收端接收到的调制符号序列经过并行解调,计算得到的发送端传输的比特序列的软信息具体为N个对数似然比。
②通过解交织和并串变换,N个对数似然比被送入到译码器进行连续删除(successive cancellation,SC)译码或者循环冗余校验辅助序列连续删除(cyclic redundancy check aided CRC aided successive cancellation list,CA-SCL)译码,得到发送端发送的比特序列的估计序列
完成译码。
以上是BIPCM框架下发送端和接收端的处理流程。
但是,发送端在进行极化编码之前,首先需要通过高斯近似迭代计算确定极化子信道的可靠度,才能进行极化码的构造。而高斯近似迭代计算的复杂度非常高,实用化非常困难。
为此,本申请提出一种极化编码调制的方法,可以不使用高斯近似迭代计算来确定极化子信道的可靠度。仿真结果表明,根据本申请提供的方法确定的极化子信道的可靠度构造的极化码,译码性能与采用高斯近似迭代计算构造的极化码的译码性能基本持平。但是,根据本申请提供的方法确定极化子信道的可靠度,计算复杂度降低,易于实用。
另外,现有的BIPCM框架下,极化子信道的可靠度的计算依赖于信噪比。因此,在不同的信噪比条件下,极化子信道的可靠度的计算不具有通用性。而本申请提供的技术方案在确定极化子信道的可靠度时不再依赖于信噪比。因此,极化子信道的可靠度的计算在不同的信噪比条件下是通用的。换句话说,本申请提供了一种基于BIPCM框架的通用构造极化码的方案。
下面对本申请提出的极化编码调制的方法进行说明。
本申请的发明人根据极化过程发现,如果将polar码看作广义的级联码,然后根据级联码的内码和外码的极化子信道的可靠度关系,可以确定出polar码的极化子信道的可靠 度的排序。
参见图4,图4的(a)和(b)分别示出了一级极化和多级极化过程的示意图。如图4的(a)所示,对于一个一级的极化核,假设极化核右端的两个输入信道的容量相等(如图4的(a)所示,均为W),则经过一级极化,左端极化子信道的容量为W-和W+,其中,W-对应的极化子信道的可靠度小于W+对应的极化子信道的可靠度。而实际上,无论右端的两个输入信道的可靠度的大小关系如何,经过一级极化之后,W-对应的极化子信道的可靠度始终小于W+对应的极化子信道的可靠度。如图4的(b)所示,对于一个多级极化过程,最右端的输入信道的容量相同,均为W。这是由于对于普通的极化编码而言,其所有的输入信道的容量都是相等的。而图4的(b)的最右端实际上就是级联码的外码编码器的输入信道,在将polar码看作广义级联码的情况下,外码编码器的输入即是极化码的输入。因此,这个外码编码器内部的极化子信道的可靠度的排序可以根据图4的(a)中所述的容量的极化规律确定出来。
但是,对于两个外码编码器之间的极化子信道的可靠度的排序是不得而知的。这是因为极化码中引入高阶调制之后,导致内码编码器的输入子信道的容量不等。
由此,本申请提出引入调制极化参数,和传统的用于确定极化子信道的可靠度的极化重量(polarization weight,PW)公式结合,可以确定N个极化子信道的可靠度的大小关系,进而再根据极化子信道的可靠度的大小关系来构造极化码。
下面对本申请的极化编码调制的方法200进行说明。
参见图5,图5是本申请提供的极化编码调制的方法200的流程图。方法200可以由发送端执行。例如,在图1所示的通信系统中,在上行传输中,由终端设备执行。在下行传输中,由网络设备(例如,基站)执行。
根据本申请提供的极化编码调制的方法200,在BIPCM框架不变的前提下,将polar码看作为广义的级联码。由于在BIPCM框架中,比特级的交织器并不会影响极化子信道的可靠度的分布,由此,图3中所示的BIPCM框架中发送端的处理流程可以等效为图6所示。
参见图6,图6是BIPCM框架下发送端的处理流程的等效流程。如图6所示,将码长为N的极化码看作级联码,则级联码的内码为N

应理解,在图6中,G

下面对方法200进行说明。方法200可以包括步骤210-240。
210、根据调制极化参数集合确定码长为N的极化码的N个极化子信道各自的极化重量,N≥1且为整数。
在传统的构造极化码的方案中,极化子信道的可靠度是根据PW公式来计算的。PW公式如下式(4)所示。
在式(4)中,n为极化子信道的序号展开为二进制表示的比特位数,a
i是极化信子信道的序号的二进制表示中的第i个比特。例如,以极化子信道的序号等于2为例,序号2 展开为二进制表示可以为2(010),则n=3,a
1=0,a
2=1,a
3=0。
另外,式(4)中的β=0.25。
应理解,PW公式用来计算极化子信道的极化重量,极化重量可以用来表征极化子信道的可靠度。通常,一个极化子信道的极化重量越大,表明该极化子信道的可靠度越高。
而在本申请的技术方案中,考虑到高阶调制的因素,极化重量包括第一部分极化重量和第二部分极化重量。其中,第一部分极化重量是根据调制极化参数集合确定的,第二部分极化重量可以继续采用PW公式来确定。换句话说,本申请中的极化重量,在传统的用来计算极化重量的PW公式的基础上,引入了调制极化部分。因此,调制极化参数用于确定在高阶调制的场景下进行极化编码使得码长为N的polar码的N个极化子信道发生极化而产生的极化重量。也即,第一部分极化重量是在高阶调制下进行极化编码使得子信道发生极化而产生的极化重量。第二部分极化重量仅是极化编码使得子信道发生极化而产生的极化重量。
发送端根据调制极化参数集合确定N个极化子信道各自的极化重量,具体可以包括如下过程:
将极化子信道的序号i表示为二进制i=(i
1,i
2,…,i
n),0≤i≤N-1;
根据调制极化参数集合和序号i的二进制表示i=(i
1,i
2,…,i
n),确定序号i对应的极化子信道的极化重量,其中,序号i对应的极化子信道的极化重量包括第一部分极化重量和第二部分极化重量,第一部分极化重量是根据调制极化参数集合和序号i的二进制表示的
部分确定的,第二部分极化重量是根据序号i的二进制表示的
部分确定的,m是根据调制阶数确定的,n为极化子信道的序号i的二进制表示的比特个数。
这里,在一些情况下,m可以与调制阶数相等。例如,对于4PAM调制,m等于调制阶数2。而在一些情况下,m是根据调制映射的星座图的星座点之间实际包括多少个容量不等的比特而确定的。例如,对于16QAM的格雷映射,由于星座图上一个象限内的星座点实际上只有2个容量不等的比特,因此,m=2。
需要说明的是,序号i对应的极化子信道是指N个极化子信道中的任意一个。极化子信道的序号i也可以称为极化子信道的索引i。
因此,在本申请中,对于每个极化子信道来说,其可靠度是根据极化重量衡量的,而极化重量的计算包括两部分。第一部分极化重量是根据调制极化参数集合确定的,第二部分极化重量是根据传统的PW公式确定的。由此,也可以说,本申请对现有的PW公式进行了改写,在PW公式中引入了调制极化部分,用于计算在高阶调制场景下进行编码使得子信道发生极化而产生的极化重量。改写后的PW公式可以称为扩展极化重量(extended polarization weight,EPW)公式。EPW公式可以如下公式(5)所示。
从公式(5)可以看到,极化子信道的序号i展开为二进制表示i=(i
1,i
2,…,i
n),其中,调制极化参数集合
用于确定第一部分极化重量,PW公式用于确定第二部分极化重量。其中,第一部分极化重量是在高阶调制场景下进行编码使得子信道发生极化 而产生的极化重量,第二部分极化重量是编码使得子信道发生极化而产生的极化重量。
具体地,第一部分极化重量是根据调制极化参数集合中的调制极化参数和序号i的二进制表示第1个比特至第log
2m个比特确定的。第二部分极化重量是根据PW公式和序号i的二进制表示的第log
2m+1个比特至第n个比特确定的。
这里,log
2m+1表示(log
2m)+1。
对于极化子信道的序号i和j,i和j的二进制展开分别为i=(i
1,i
2,…,i
n),j=(j
1,j
2,…,j
n)。
(1)如果
表明序号i和序号j属于同一个外码编码器。如果
根据公式(5)可知,第一部分极化重量
相等。此时,序号i和序号j各自对应的极化子信道的可靠度的大小关系可以根据
和
来确定。也即,根据公式(5)的第二部分极化重量
来确定。
例如,对于4PAM调制,假设N=8,极化子信道的序号展开为3bit的二进制比特序列。或者说,3个比特就可以表示N=8的polar码的全部极化子信道的序号。例如,极化子信道的序号2表示为二进制(0,1,0),序号3表示为二进制(0,1,1)。采用4PAM调制时,m=2。log
2m=log
22=1,而序号2和序号3的二进制展开的第1位相等(均为0),因此,序号2和序号3属于同一个外码编码器,第一部分极化重量相等。此时,序号2和序号3各自对应的极化子信道的极化重量取决于第二部分极化重量。第二部分极化重量需要根据
和
来确定。具体地,是根据序号2和序号3的二进制展开的第2位和第3位来确定。对于序号2,第二部分极化重量=a
2·2
β(3-2)+a
3·2
β(3-3)=1·2
β(3-2)+0·2
β(3-3)=2
0.25。对于序号3,第二部分极化重量=a
2·2
β(3-2)+a
3·2
β(3-3)=1·2
β(3-2)+1·2
β(3-3)=2
0.25+1。因此,2(0,1,0)<3(0,1,1),也即序号为2对应的极化子信道的极化重量小于序号3对应的极化子信道的极化重量。因此,序号2对应的极化子信道的可靠度小于序号3对应的极化子信道的可靠度。
又例如,对于4PAM调制,假设N=32,则极化子信道的序号展开为5bit的二进制比特序列。例如,极化子信道的序号i=6展开为二进制为(0,0,1,1,0),序号j=9展开为二进制为(0,1,1,0,0)。同样地,序号6和序号9的二进制展开的第1相同(均为0),因此,序号6和序号9属于同一个外码编码器。此时,序号6和序号9各自对应的极化子信道的第一部分极化重量
相等,因此其可靠度的大小关系取决于第二部分极化重量
通过将序号i=6和序号j=9各自的二进制表示的a
i和β=0.25带入
进行计算,可以确定6(0,0,1,1,0)<9(0,1,1,0,0)。因此,序号6对应的极 化子信道的可靠度小于序号9对应的极化子信道的可靠度。
例如,对于16PAM,若0(0,0)<2(1,0)<3(1,1),N=16,则极化子信道的序号展开为4bit的二进制比特序列。例如,序号1展开为二进制(0,0,0,1),序号9展开为二进制(1,0,0,1)。采用16PAM,则m=4。由于序号1和序号9的二进制展开的第3位和第4为相同(均为0,1),则序号1和序号9各自对应的极化子信道的可靠度的大小关系可以通过内码G
m输出的(i
1,i
2)和(j
1,j
2)对应的极化子信道的可靠度的大小关系来确定。由于0(0,0)<2(1,0),因此,1(0,0,0,1)<9(1,0,0,1)。
又例如,对于16PAM,极化子信道的序号3和序号15分别展开为二进制为3(0,0,1,1)和15(1,1,1,1)。序号3和序号15的二进制展开的第3位和第4位相同(均为11),则序号3和序号15各自对应的极化子信道的可靠度的大小关系,可以通过内码G
m输出的(i
1,i
2)和(j
1,j
2)对应的极化子信道的可靠度的大小关系来确定。由于0(0,0)<3(1,1),因此,3(0,0,1,1)<15(1,1,1,1)。
下文图7的说明,可以用来帮助理解上述(1)和(2)对应的结论。
图7是码长N=8,调制阶数m=2的极化码的示例。将polar码看作级联码。则外码是2个长度为4的polar码,如图7中编号①和②所示的虚线框。内码是4个码长为2的polar码,如图7中所示编号③所示的虚线框部分。其中,对于一个外码编码器来说,由于其右端的输入信道的容量相等,相当于一个N=4的polar码,因此这个外码编码器内部的子信道的可靠度排序可以通过PW公式计算确定。编号①所示的虚线框对应的外码编码器内部的极化子信道的排序为(000)<(001)<(010)<(011)。同理,编号②所示的虚线框对应的外码编码器内部的极化子信道的排序为(100)<(101)<(110)<(111)。由于每个外码编码器的极化子信道的序号的二进制展开的第1个比特(m=2)是相同的,因此,每个外码编码器内部的极化子信道的可靠度排序是由二进制表示的后面2个比特决定的。
但是,由于引入高阶调制,导致内码编码器的输入信道的容量不等,因此两个外码编码器的极化子信道之间的可靠度的大小关系无法得知。
如果调制阶数m=2,则一个4PAM符号中有两个容量不等的子信道,以下分别记作W1,W2。将这两个子信道分别分配到一个内码编码器的右端。对于编号③所示的内码编码器(图7中粗线示出)来说,节点1的子信道是W1,节点2的子信道是W2,经过一级极化,得到节点3的子信道为W3,节点4的子信道是W4。根据上文介绍的一级极化的规律,可以确定W3<W4。相同的,节点5、6、7、8也构成一个内码编码器,节点5的信道为W1,节点6的信道为W2,节点7的信道为W3,节点8的信道为W4。由此,图7所示共有4个内码编码器。由于这4个内码编码器右端相应位置的输入信道的容量相等,即节点1、节点5、节点9和节点13为W1,节点2、节点6、节点10和节点14为W2。因此这4个内码编码器是完全相同的,因此各自极化后的子信道的容量也是相等的。 也即,节点3、节点7、节点11、节点15为W3,节点4、节点8、节点12和节点16为W4。这与上文中分析外码编码器的输入信道的容量相等是一致的,也即外码编码器的输入信道的容量相等。
由于节点3的子信道的容量小于节点4的子信道的容量(W3<W4),而000对应的子信道是由4个W3极化得到的第一个子信道,100对应的子信道是由4个W4极化得到的第一个子信道,它们在外码中的位置相同,这对应了上述分支(2)对应的部分排序。由于000和100各自对应的极化子信道分别是W3和W4经过相同的后续极化过程得到的两个子信道,因此000和001对应的极化子信道的可靠度由W3和W4的大小关系决定。由于W3<W4,因此(000)<(100)。同理可知(001)<(101),(010)<(110),(011)<(111)。
由此可以理解的是,传统的polar码的极化是指编码器右侧的输出信道容量相等时产生的极化现象。本申请中的极化是指在高阶调制场景下(也即编码器右侧输入信道容量不等)进行编码产生的极化现象。
以上步骤210是本申请提出的对极化子信道的可靠度进行排序的详细说明。可见,极化子信道的可靠度的排序不再依赖于信噪比,并且避免了复杂的高斯近似迭代计算。
首先,发送端通过高斯近似确定出各个极化子信道的错误概率,并根据给定的码率对每个调制极化参数α
i从闭区间[0,1]中选择一个取值,从而确定调制极化参数集合
的一组取值。进一步地,根据调制极化参数集合中每个调制极化参数α
i的取值,计算每个极化子信道的极化重量,从而确定出N个极化子信道的可靠度的排序。根据N个极化子信道的可靠度的排序,选择信息比特集合。可以理解的是,选择出的每个信息位对应着一个极化子信道,而这个极化子信道的错误概率已通过高斯近似计算得到。所有信息位的错误概率求和,得到错误率上界。遍历调制极化参数集合
的多组取值,寻找使得错误率上界最小的调制极化参数集合的一组取值。这样,调制极化参数集合中每个α
i的取值也就确定了。
根据步骤210,可以确定出每个极化子信道的极化重量。
220、根据所述N个极化子信道的极化重量,确定所述N个极化子信道的可靠度的排序,并根据可靠度的排序对待编码的比特序列进行极化编码,得到码字序列。
确定了N个极化子信道的可靠度的排序,从而可以确定信息比特集合,即,用来放置信息比特的极化子信道的序号的集合。发送端对待编码的比特序列进行极化编码的过程可以参考现有技术,这里不再赘述。
可选地,在步骤220,根据极化子信道的可靠度对待编码的比特序列进行极化编码,得到码字之后,可以对不同内码编码器相同位置输出的比特流进行交织,以提高译码性能。或者,也可以不作比特交织处理。
230、对码字序列进行高阶调制,得到调制符号序列。
240、发送调制符号序列。
步骤230和步骤240参见上文图3中介绍的BIPCM框架下的发送端的处理流程,这里不再赘述。接收端接收到发送端发送的信号之后,根据图3中介绍的BIPCM框架中的接收端的处理流程进行译码。
本申请提供的EPW公式构造的极化码与采用高斯近似构造的极化码的性能差异不大,但是计算复杂度降低。
除此之外,根据高斯近似构造极化码依赖于信噪比,因此,在不同的信噪比条件下,需要重新计算来构造极化码。而本申请的方法不依赖于信噪比,因此对不同的信噪比条件都是通用的,可以简化计算。
下面给出采用本申请的极化编码调制的方法的性能仿真图。
参见图8,图8是16QAM的调制场景下根据错误率上界的曲线确定α的取值。由于16QAM格雷映射的实部和虚部可以看作相互独立的两个4PAM信号,因此16QAM格雷映射实际上只有2个容量不等的比特级。因此,可以将16QAM格雷映射的实部和虚部分开构造(即4PAM构造),相当于m=2,以简化构造,此时只需要优化一个参数即可。从图8中可以看出,当α=0.25时性能最优。
使用相同的参数优化方法,在16PAM调制中得到的最优取值为{α
1,α
2}={0.25,0.35}。
参见图9和图10,图9是本申请的提供的方法与高斯近似算法在码长N=1024的各信噪比条件下的性能对比图。图10是本申请的提供的方法与高斯近似算法在码长N=512的各信噪比条件下的性能对比图。
从图9中可以看出,相对于使用5G中的构造序列,EPW度量构造有较大的性能增益。在图9和图10中,可以发现本申请提供的EPW度量构造在各码长各码率与高斯近似算法的仿真结果差异不大。但是,本申请提供的方法可以降低构造极化码时的计算复杂度。
