一种信息传输方法和装置
相关申请的交叉引用
本申请要求在2022年05月26日提交中国专利局、申请号为202210589412.8、申请名称为“一种信息传输方法和装置”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。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种信息传输方法和装置。
背景技术
目前,发送端在向接收端发送初传数据之后,可以根据接收端反馈的反馈信息确定是否向接收端发送重传数据。例如,接收端在接收到发送端发送的初传数据后,如果接收端能够正确对初传数据进行译码,则接收端向发送端返回确认应答(acknowledgement,ACK),如果接收端不能够正确对初传数据进行译码,则向发送端返回非确认应答(non-acknowledgement,NACK)。接收端在收到NACK的情况下,会向接收端发送重传数据,接收端收到重传数据之后,将重传数据和初传数据合并后重新译码。
上述方案中,接收端反馈的反馈信息(即ACK或NACK)为1比特。在接收端译码出错的情况下,无论译码出错的位置在哪里,反馈信息都只是1比特的NACK,所以发送端在重传时未能基于译码出错情况对进行针对性的设计,未能充分发挥接收端的纠错检错能力。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种信息传输方法和装置,通过在接收端引入更多的反馈信息,使得发送端可以根据更多的反馈信息针对性地进行重传,进而提升接收端的译码纠错性能。
第一方面,提供一种信息传输方法,包括:发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列,发送第一编码比特序列,该待传输的编码比特序列包括第一编码比特序列;发送端接收第一指示信息;第一指示信息包括该待传输的编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特在该待传输的编码比特序列中的位置信息;发送端根据第一指示信息发送第二编码比特序列;其中,该待传输的编码比特序列包括第二编码比特序列,第二编码比特序列中包括:该待传输的编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特,和/或,该待传输的编码比特序列中未被发送过的至少一个编码比特。
上述方案中,发送端在发送了第一编码比特序列之后,可以根据接收端反馈的第一指示信息发送第二编码比特序列,因为第一指示信息中包括待传输的编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特在该待传输的编码比特序列中的位置信息,因此发送端发送的第二编码比特序列中的编码比特更具有针对性,例如第二编码比特序列中除了可能包括未被发送过的至少一个编码比特之外,还可能包括已被发送过的至少一个编码比特,如此可以使得接收端的译码纠错过程也更具有针对性。相较于现有技术发送端仅重传未被发送过的 编码比特而言,本申请实施例可以充分发挥接收端的纠错检错能力,有效提升接收端的译码纠错性能。
一种可能的设计中,发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列,至少重传一次编码比特序列;其中,第一编码比特序列为初传的编码比特序列,第二编码比特序列为第一次重传的编码比特序列;或者,第一编码比特序列为第q-1次重传的编码比特序列,第二编码比特序列为第q次重传的编码比特序列,q为大于1的正整数。
换而言之,第一编码比特序列可以是初传过程中发送的编码比特序列,也可以是重传过程中发送的编码比特序列,而第二编码比特序列,是发送端在发送第一编码比特序列之后接着发送的编码比特序列,即发送端在第一编码比特序列和第二编码比特序列之间没有发送其他编码比特序列。
可以理解的,本文中,发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列第一次向接收端发送编码比特序列的过程可以称为初传过程,初传过程之后根据该待传输的编码比特序列向接收端发送编码比特序列的过程可以称为重传过程,其中重传次数可以是一次或多次。每次重传编码比特序列可以是重传完整的编码比特序列,也可以是重传编码比特序列中的一部分,本申请不做限制。
可以理解的,如果发送端发送了第二编码比特序列之后,如果接收端译码仍未成功,且未达到最大重传次数,则发送端可以继续执行下一次重传,如此循环,直至接收端译码成功或达到最大重传次数为止。
一种可能的设计中,位置信息为已被发送过的至少一个编码比特在该待传输的编码比特序列中的位置的索引值。
该设计中,接收端直接向发送端指示需要发送端重复传输的至少一个编码比特在该待传输的编码比特序列中的位置,可降低发送端生成第一指示信息和接收端解析第一指示信息的复杂度。
一种可能的设计中,位置信息为已被发送过的至少一个编码比特对应的至少一个资源子段的指示信息,其中至少一个资源子段位于该待传输的编码比特序列对应的资源段中。
该设计中,通过已被发送过的至少一个编码比特对应的至少一个资源子段的指示信息来间接指示已被发送过的至少一个编码比特在该待传输的编码比特序列中的位置,可以减少第一指示信息的数据量(例如一个资源子段对应多个编码比特的情况)。
可以理解的,以上两种设计仅为示例,实际应用中,接收端还可以通过其它形式向接收端反馈已被发送过的至少一个编码比特在该待传输的编码比特序列中的位置。
一种可能的设计中,第二编码比特序列中已被发送过的编码比特的占比不超过预设值δ。
如此,可以保证第二编码比特序列中首次发送的编码比特(即除了已被发送过的编码比特之外的其它编码比特)和非首次发送的编码比特(即已被发送过的编码比特)有合理的占比分配,避免已被发送过的编码比特的占比过少导致译码纠错性能差的问题,以及避免已被发送过的编码比特的占比过多导致占用较多传输资源的问题。
一种可能的设计中,第二编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特的数量满足以下条件:
其中,n″k为第二编码比特序列中包括的该待传输的编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特的数量;Nk-1表示发送端在发送第二编码比特序列之前发送的编码比特的数量,N″k-1表示发送端在发送第二编码比特序列之前重复发送的编码比特的数量;nk为第二编码比特序列中包括的编码比特的数量;δ′为发送端根据该待传输的编码比特序列发送的所有编码比特序列中重复发送的编码比特的占比对应的门限值,发送端根据该待传输的编码比特序列发送的所有编码比特序列中重复发送的编码比特的占比不超过δ′。
如此,可以保证针对待传输的编码比特的多次传输过程中首次发送的编码比特和非首次发送的编码比特有合理的占比分配,避免已被发送过的编码比特的占比过少导致译码纠错性能差的问题,以及避免已被发送过的编码比特的占比过多导致占用较多传输资源的问题。
一种可能的设计中,δ′大于或等于预设门限值。如此,可以保证针对待传输的编码比特的多次传输过程中首次发送的编码比特和非首次发送的编码比特有合理的占比分配。
第二方面,提供一种信息传输方法,包括:接收端接收第一待译码序列,其中第一待译码序列为发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列发送的第一编码比特序列经由信道传输后形成的序列;接收端对第一待译码序列进行译码;若译码失败,接收端确定第一指示信息;第一指示信息包括待传输的编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特在待传输的编码比特序列中的位置信息;接收端发送第一指示信息;接收端接收第二待译码序列,其中第二待译码序列为发送端根据第一指示信息发送的第二编码比特序列经由信道传输后形成的序列。
一种可能的设计中,第一编码比特序列为发送端初传的编码比特序列,第二编码比特序列为发送端第一次重传的编码比特序列;或者,第一编码比特序列为发送端第q-1次重传的编码比特序列,第二编码比特序列为发送端第q次重传的编码比特序列,q为大于1的正整数。
一种可能的设计中,位置信息为已被发送过的至少一个编码比特在待传输的编码比特序列中的位置的索引值。
一种可能的设计中,接收端可以获取与第一待译码序列对应的对数似然比LLR序列,LLR序列中的LLR与待传输的编码比特序列中的编码比特相对应。相应的,接收端确定第一指示信息,可以包括:接收端从LLR序列中确定出幅值较小的前n″k个LLR,其中n″k为正整数,其中n″k个LLR对应的n″k个编码比特为待传输的编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特;接收端根据n″k个LLR对应的n″k个编码比特在待传输的编码比特序列中的位置确定第一指示信息。
该设计方式中,接收端选择LLR幅值较小的编码比特并将这些编码比特的位置信息反馈给发送端,使得发送端可以重发这些LLR幅值较小的编码比特,进而接收端后续可以根据发送端重发的编码比特重新获取译码结果,提高了接收端译码纠错性能。
一种可能的设计中,位置信息为已被发送过的至少一个编码比特对应的至少一个资源子段的信息,其中至少一个资源子段位于待传输的编码比特序列对应的资源段中。
一种可能的设计中,接收端可以根据获取与第一待译码序列对应的信道估计结果,信道估计结果中的信道估计值与该待传输的编码比特序列中的编码比特相对应。相应的,接收端确定第一指示信息,可以包括:接收端根据信道估计结果确定待传输的编码比特序列对应的资源段中各个资源子段对应的信道估计均值;接收端从待传输的编码比特序列对应的资源段中确定出信道估计均值较小M个资源子段;M为正整数;接收端根据M个资源子段确定第一指示信息。
该设计方式中,接收端选择信道估计均值较小的资源子段并将这些资源子段的位置信息反馈给发送端,使得发送端可以重发这些资源子段对应的编码比特,进而接收端后续可以根据发送端重发的编码比特重新获取译码结果,提高了接收端译码纠错性能。
一种可能的设计中,第二编码比特序列中已被发送过的编码比特的占比不超过预设值δ。
一种可能的设计中,第二编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特的数量满足以下条件:
其中,n″k为第二编码比特序列中包括的待传输的编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特的数量;Nk-1表示发送端在发送第二编码比特序列之前发送的编码比特的数量,N″k-1表示发送端在发送第二编码比特序列之前重复发送的编码比特的数量;nk为第二编码比特序列中包括的编码比特的数量;δ′为发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列发送的所有编码比特序列中重复发送的编码比特的占比对应的门限值,发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列发送的所有编码比特序列中重复发送的编码比特的占比不超过δ′。
一种可能的设计中,δ′大于或等于预设门限值。如此,可以进一步提高接收端的译码纠错性能。
上述各设计的有益效果参考第一方面对应设计的有益效果,此处不再赘述。
第三方面,提供一种信息传输方法,包括:发送端发送第三编码比特序列;
发送端接收第一译码结果;发送端根据第一译码结果和第三编码比特序列中的信息比特,从第三编码比特序列中确定出译码出错的编码比特;发送端根据译码出错的编码比特确定第三编码比特序列中的至少一个编码比特;发送端发送第二指示信息,第二指示信息中包括至少一个编码比特的位置信息。
上述方案中,发送端在发送了第三编码比特序列之后,可以根据接收端反馈的第一译码结果确定出译码出错的编码比特,然后基于译码出错的编码比特发送第二指示信息,使得接收端可以根据第二指示信息进行译码纠错,可以有效提升接收端的译码纠错性能。
一种可能的设计中,当译码出错的编码比特的数量小于或等于T时,发送端将译码出错的编码比特作为至少一个编码比特;或者,当译码出错的编码比特的数量大于T时,发送端从译码出错的编码比特中选择T个编码比特,将T个编码比特作为至少一个编码比特。可以理解的是,当译码出错的编码比特的数量等于T时,可以按照译码出错的编码比特的数量小于T时的方案进行处理(即将译码出错的编码比特作为至少一个编码比特),当然 也可以按照译码出错的编码比特的数量大于T时的方案进行处理,本申请不做限制。例如:当译码出错的编码比特的数量小于T时,发送端将译码出错的编码比特作为至少一个编码比特;或者,当译码出错的编码比特的数量大于或等于T时,发送端从译码出错的编码比特中选择T个编码比特,将T个编码比特作为至少一个编码比特。其中,T为预设的门限值。
换言之,当译码出错的编码比特较少时,发送端可以直接指示这些译码出错的编码比特的位置,使得接收端直接纠正这些错误;当译码出错的编码比特较多时,发送端会指示部分译码出错的编码比特的位置,使得接收端基于这部分译码出错的编码比特的位置进行译码纠错。
一种可能的设计中,第二指示信息中还包括指示位;当译码出错的编码比特的数量小于T时,指示位的取值为第一值;当译码出错的编码比特的数量大于或等于T时,指示位的取值为第二值;其中,第一值与第二值不同。例如:第一值为0且第二值为1,或者,第一值为1且第二值为0。
如此,可以使得接收端明确第二指示信息中携带的位置信息是所有出错的编码比特的位置信息还是部分出错的编码比特的位置信息,进而针对不同情况采用不同的译码纠错方案,提高了方案可靠性。
一种可能的设计中,T取使得成立的最大值,其中N为第二指示信息的信息比特长度,k为第一编码比特序列中信息位的个数。
如此,可以保证第二指示信息能够指示T个编码比特的位置信息,提高了方案的可靠性。
第四方面,提供一种信息传输方法,包括:接收端接收第三待译码序列,第三待译码序列为发送端发送的第三编码比特序列经由信道传输后形成的序列;接收端对第三待译码序列进行译码,得到第一译码结果;若译码失败,接收端发送第一译码结果;接收端接收第二指示信息,第二指示信息中包括第三编码比特序列中的至少一个编码比特的位置信息;接收端根据第二指示信息和第一译码结果获取第二译码结果。
一种可能的设计中,第二指示信息中还包括有指示位;接收端根据第二指示信息和第一译码结果获取第二译码结果,包括:当指示位为第一值时,接收端根据第三编码比特序列中的至少一个编码比特的位置信息确定第一译码结果中出错的编码比特,校正出错的编码比特,得到第二译码结果;或者,当指示位为第二值时,接收端根据第三编码比特序列中的至少一个编码比特的位置信息校正第一译码结果对应的先验信息,根据校正后的先验信息对第三编码比特序列重新译码,得到第二译码结果。
以上各设计的有益效果可以参考第三方面对应设计的有益效果,此处不再赘述。
第五方面,提供一种信息传输方法,包括:发送端使用LDPC矩阵对待传输的信息编码比特进行编码,得到待传输的编码比特序列,待传输的编码比特序列包括一个或多个第一变量节点对应的编码比特和一个或多个第二变量节点对应的编码比特,第二变量节点对应的列重为1;发送端发送一个或多个第一变量节点对应的编码比特;发送端接收第三指示信息,第三指示信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中的至少一个第二变量节点(或者第三指示信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中的至少一个第二变量节点的位置);发送端根据第三指示信息为一个或多个第二变量节点对应的编码比特分配发送功率;发送端按照分配好的发送功率发送一个或多个第二变量节点对应的编码比特。
上述方案中,发送端在发送一个或多个第一变量节点对应的编码比特之后,根据从接收端收到第三指示信息为待发送的一个或多个第二变量节点对应的编码比特分配发送功率(例如以低功率发送可靠度高的第二变量节点对应的编码比特,以高功率发送可靠度低的第二变量节点对应的编码比特),使得发送端发送的一个或多个第二变量节点对应的编码比特能够更好地满足接收端的译码需求,进而提高接收端的译码纠错性能。
一种可能的设计中,第三指示信息中包括:第一信息,第一信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要提高发送功率的第二变量节点(或者第一信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中的至少一个第二变量节点的位置);和/或,第二信息,第二信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点(或者第二信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点的位置)。
如此,发送端可以根据第三指示信息,明确哪些第二变量节点对应的编码比特需要提高发送功率,以及哪些第二变量节点对应的编码比特需要降低发送功率(例如,第三指示信息仅包括第一信息,则提高第一信息指示的第二变量节点对应的编码比特的发送功率,以及降低其他第二变量节点对应的编码比特的发送功率;例如,第三指示信息仅包括第二信息,则降低第二信息指示的第二变量节点对应的编码比特的发送功率,以及提高其他第二变量节点对应的编码比特的发送功率;例如,第三指示信息包括第一信息和第二信息,则提高第一信息指示的第二变量节点对应的编码比特的发送功率,以及降低第二信息指示的第二变量节点对应的编码比特的发送功率),以满足接收端的译码需求。
一种可能的设计中,需要提高发送功率的第二变量节点关联的第一变量节点对应的先验信息或后验信息在第一阈值范围内;需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点关联的第一变量节点对应的先验信息或后验信息在第二阈值范围内;其中,第一阈值范围与第二阈值范围不同。
换言之,可以依据各个第二变量节点关联的第一变量节点对应的先验信息或后验信息的取值范围确定需要调整发送功率的第二变量节点。
一种可能的设计中,先验信息包括LLR或信道估计值;和/或,后验信息包括软值。
当然,此处仅为一种示例,实际不限于此。
第六方面,提供一种信息传输方法,包括:接收端接收第四待译码序列,第四待译码序列为一个或多个第一变量节点对应的编码比特经由信道传输后形成的序列,一个或多个第一变量节点对应的编码比特包含于基于LDPC矩阵生成的编码比特序列中,基于LDPC矩阵生成的编码比特序列中还包含一个或多个第二变量节点对应的编码比特,第二变量节点对应的列重为1;接收端使用LDPC矩阵对第四待译码序列进行译码;若译码失败,接收端从一个或多个第二变量节点中确定出至少一个第二变量节点(或者接收端从一个或多个第二变量节点的位置中确定出至少一个第二变量节点的位置);接收端发送第三指示信息,其中第三指示信息用于指示至少一个第二变量节点(或者第三指示信息用于指示至少一个第二变量节点的位置)。
一种可能的设计中,第三指示信息中包括:第一信息,第一信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要提高发送功率的第二变量节点(或者第一信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要提高发送功率的第二变量节点的位置);和/或,第二信息,第二信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点(或者第二信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点的位置)。
一种可能的设计中,需要提高发送功率的第二变量节点关联的第一变量节点对应的先验信息或后验信息在第一阈值范围内;需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点关联的第一变量节点对应的先验信息或后验信息在第二阈值范围内;其中,第一阈值范围与第二阈值范围不同。
一种可能的设计中,先验信息包括LLR或信道估计值;和/或,后验信息包括软值。

参见图2,为发送端和接收端的通信流程示意图。
一般地,由信源产生的数据比特流要经过以下几个步骤达到信宿:首先在发送端,信源为产生信息的源头,如人、机器、自然界的物体等,其输出可以是模拟信号或数字信号;信源编码将这种模拟信号或数字信号转换成二进制数字序列(即信息比特序列);信道编码在二进制数字序列中引入一些冗余的二进制信息序列(得到编码比特序列),用于在接收端克服传输过程中信道噪声和干扰造成的误差;调制处理用于将二进制序列转换成波形信号,发送至信道。波形信号经过信道传输后,在接收端,解调即将波形信号还原为二进制信号(即待译码序列);信道解码即根据信道编码规则和接收数据的冗余,还原信息比特序列;信源解码是根据信源编码的规则还原原始信号。
当然,以上过程仅为一种示例,实际的通信流程还可以包括其它处理,例如交织(可以发生在信道编码之后、调制之前,交织的作用是改变比特流的结构充分发散这些误差,使得长串比特误差变成短串误差)、解交织(发生在解调之后、信道译码之前,解交织是与交织互逆的操作,作用是将分散的数据集中到同一个信道编码的码字,以减少突发错误对信道编码的影响)。
本申请实施例中的信道编码方案(后续简称“编码”)可以有多种,例如低密度奇偶校验码(Low Density Parity Check Code,LDPC)、极化码(Polar)等,本申请实施例不做限制。
为了便于描述,本文主要以LDPC编码方案为例。给定信息比特序列s=[s(0),s(2),…,s(K-1)],LDPC编码就是确定M个校验比特p=[p(0),p(1),…,p(M-1)],得到的LDPC码(即编码比特序列)为c=[sp],可见,LDPC编码得到的编码比特序列中包括编码比特序列和校验比特序列。其中,一个码长等于N,信息比特序列的长度等于K的线性分组码可以由其校验矩阵唯一确定。LDPC码的校验矩阵又可称为LDPC矩阵,校验矩阵的每一列对应一个变量节点,对应编码比特序列中的一个比特位;校验矩阵中的每一行对应一个 校验节点。
通信系统中,接收端在收到发送端发送的数据之后,只反馈1比特信息(ACK/NACK),用于指示接收端是否译码成功。当发送端收到ACK时,则停止发送。当发送端收到NACK时,常见的有两种方式:①重发之前的数据包(即简单重传(Chase Combining));②发送新的数据包,接收端将之前的数据包和新的数据包等效构造成一个嵌套长码(这种方式称为增量冗余-混合自动重传请求(Incremental Redundancy-HybridAutomatic Repeat reQuest,IR-HARQ)。对于LDPC码、Polar码等来说,IR-HARQ方案的性能较好。
以下以Raptor-like结构的LDPC码(简称Raptor-like LDPC码)为例对IR-HARQ方案进行说明。
参见图3,Raptor-like LDPC码的校验矩阵包括A、B、C、O和I五部分,其中,A是最高码率校验矩阵中对应信息比特序列的矩阵分块。B是最高码率校验矩阵中对应校验比特序列的矩阵分块,B所对应的矩阵结构通常是下三角结构或者是三列重与双对角线的组合结构。C是最高码率校验矩阵扩展出的矩阵分块,对应信息比特序列以及最高码率校验矩阵中对应的校验比特序列。其中,O是零矩阵,I是对角线为1而其余部分为0的矩阵,O和I对应校验比特序列。采用Raptor-like LDPC码矩阵对信息数据进行编码得到的比特序列分段为信息比特序列列重大于1的校验比特以及列重为1的校验比特其中,所述列重为1的校验比特是指校验矩阵中列重为1的列对应的校验比特序列。所述列重大于1的校验比特是指校验矩阵中列重大于1的列对应的校验比特序列。
IR-HARQ方案中,重传的编码比特为I部分中的校验比特(重传的编码比特的列重为1)。I部分对应的变量节点可称为Raptor-like节点,对应的列重为1。
例如,参见图4,为一种可能的IR-HARQ方案的示意图。
虚线框内的变量节点对应于初传时的编码比特(简称初传部分),虚线框外的变量节点对应于重传时的编码比特(简称重传部分)。初传部分可以单独作为一个编码,初传部分可以与重传部分可以一起合并作为一个更长的编码。其中,重传部分的编码比特对应的是Raptor-like节点,即列重为1的变量节点,只关联一个校验方程。当初传译码失败时,发送端发送这些Raptor-like节点的编码比特。在译码过程中,接收端对初传和重传过程中接收的待译码序列进行合并译码,使用比初传更大的校验矩阵,更多的校验方程进行纠错,达到长码的纠错性能。
可以理解的是,上述IR-HARQ方案中,重传过程发送的编码比特与初传过程发送的编码比特不同(即重传过程中发送的编码比特全部都是首次发送的,即未被发送过的)。
另外,实际中,重传不限于一次,可以是多次(例如I部分中不同的校验比特可以分多次发送),接收端每次都对已接收到的所有译码序列进行合并译码,译码失败之后继续下一次重传过程,直至达到最大重传次数或译码成功。
通过以上描述可以看出,反馈信息为1比特的设计,即接收端只反馈1比特的NACK或ACK,不管接收端的译码出错情况如何,发送端在收到NACK之后未能基于译码出错情况对重传进行针对性的设计,因此无法充分发挥接收端的纠错检错能力,导致接收端的译码纠错性能较差。
鉴于此,提供本申请实施例技术方案,接收端在译码失败时,可以反馈更多的信息,使得发送端根据这些信息针对性地进行重传,进而提升接收端的译码纠错性能。
参见图5A,为本申请实施例提供的一种信息传输方法的流程示意图,包括:
S501、发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列,发送第一编码比特序列,其中待传输的编码比特序列包括第一编码比特序列;相应的,接收端接收第一待译码序列。
发送端通过对待传输的信息比特进行编码,生成待传输的编码比特序列。其中,发送端使用的编码方案包括但不限于是LDPC、Polar等类型。为了便于描述,本实施例以Raptor-like LDPC编码方案为例,即发送端在获取待传输的信息比特序列之后,基于Raptor-like LDPC矩阵生成待传输的编码比特序列。
在本申请实施例中,发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列第一次发送编码比特序列的过程为初传过程,如果初传失败,发送端再次发送编码比特序列,发送端在初传之后发送编码比特序列的过程为重传过程。其中,重传的次数可以是一次或多次,本申请不做限制。
其中,第一编码比特序列,可以是初传过程中发送的编码比特序列,也可以是重传过程中发送的编码比特序列,本申请不做限制。
示例性的,设发送端最多进行t次重传,第一编码比特序列可以为发送端初传的编码比特序列,或者为第q-1次重传的编码比特序列,q为大于1且小于或等于t的正整数。
或者,另一种描述:设发送端最多进行t次重传,加上初传,发送端最多发送t+1次编码比特序列,其中第一编码比特序列可以为发送端第k-1次发送的编码比特序列,k为大于1且小于或等于t+1的正整数。
相应的,接收端可以多次接收待译码序列。具体来说,接收端针对发送端每一次发送的编码比特序列,都对应接收一次待译码序列。其中,第一待译码序列对应第一编码比特序列,即第一待译码序列为发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列发送的第一编码比特序列经由信道传输后形成的序列。
可以理解的,发送端发送第一编码比特序列之前,还可以对第一编码比特序列进行调制等其它处理,第一编码比特序列被转换成波形信号后,被发射至到信道(或者说载波)进行传输。波形信号在传输过程中,由于路径损耗、噪声干扰等影响,会产生一定程度的变形,因此接收端接收到的波形信号与发送端发送的波形信号可以有差别。相应的,接收端收到波形信号之后,对其进行解调等处理,得到与第一编码比特序列对应的第一待译码序列。为了便于描述,本文将上述过程描述为发送端发送第一编码比特序列和接收端接收第一待译码序列。
S502、接收端对第一待译码序列进行译码;若译码失败,接收端确定第一指示信息。
具体的,接收端采用与发送端编码方案相对应的译码方案对第一待译码序列进行译码,例如,使用Raptor-like LDPC矩阵对第一待译码序列进行迭代译码。
可以理解的,若第一待译码序列是初传过程中收到的待译码序列(即第一编码比特序列是初传过程中发送的编码比特序列),则接收端可以直接对第一待译码序列进行译码,若第一待译码序列是重传过程中收到的待译码序列(即第一编码比特序列是重传过程中发送的编码比特序列),则接收端可以将本次收到的第一带待译码序列和之前收到的其它待译码序列进行合并译码。
若译码成功,例如cHT=0(其中c表示译码码字,H表示Raptor-like LDPC矩阵),则停止译码。
应理解,cHT=0是译码成功的必要不充分条件,即cHT=0仅为一种示例,实际译码成功还需要满足其它判断条件,本申请不做限制。
可选的,接收端还可以发送ACK,用于以指示译码成功。
若译码失败,例如cHT≠0,则接收端确定第一指示信息。
应理解,cHT≠0仅为一种示例,实际还可以有其它原因导致译码失败,本申请不做限制。
第一指示信息可以包括待传输的编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特在待传输的编码比特序列中的位置信息。其中,第一指示信息中指示的编码比特(即所述编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特),可以理解为接收端期望发送端在下一次传输过程中再次发送的编码比特。
在本申请实施例中,已被发送过的至少一个编码比特在待传输的编码比特序列中的位置信息可以是已被发送过的至少一个编码比特在待传输的编码比特序列中的位置的索引值(或者说至少一个编码比特在待传输的编码比特序列中的位置标号)。
当然,也可以是与已被发送过的至少一个编码比特在待传输的编码比特序列中的位置相关的其它信息,本申请不做限制。一种可能的设计中,可以对待传输的编码比特序列对应的资源段进行分段,例如划分为多个资源子段,每个资源子段包括一个或多个连续的资源单元,已被发送过的至少一个编码比特在待传输的编码比特序列中的位置信息可以是已被发送过的至少一个编码比特对应的至少一个资源子段的指示信息,这样,可以减少接收端的反馈量,节省资源开销。
作为一种示例,资源段可以是一段连续的时间,例如资源单元为一个时隙,则资源子段可以是连续的几个时隙,资源段则是比资源子段更长的一段时间(如一个或多个连续的帧)。
作为一种示例,资源段可以是一段连续的子载波,例如资源单元为一个子载波,则资源子段可以是连续的几个子载波,资源段则是比资源子段更长的一段连续的子载波(如一个或多个连续的载波)。
作为一种示例,资源段还可以是类似于LDPC码或Polar码等中一段的连续子信道,例如资源单元为一个子信道,则资源子段可以是连续的几个子信道,资源段则是比资源子段更长的一段连续的子信道(如一个或多个连续的信道)。
当然,以上几种仅为示例,实际应用中还可以有其它方式来定义资源单元、资源段、资源子段,本申请不做限制。
在具体实现时,接收端可以根据译码过程中使用的先验信息或后验信息选取上述已被发送过的至少一个编码比特。
一种可能的设计中,接收端获取与第一待译码序列对应的对数似然比(Log-Likelihood-Ration,LLR序列),LLR序列中的LLR与待传输的编码比特序列中的编码比特相对应。接收端从LLR序列中确定出幅值较小的前n″k个LLR,其中n″k为正整数,其中n″k个LLR对应的n″k个编码比特为发送端在下一次(如第k次)发送过程中能够发送的已被发送过的编码比特的数量(即第二编码比特序列中包含的待传输的编码比特序列中已被发送过的编码比特的数量);接收端根据n″k个LLR对应的n″k个编码比特在待传输的编码比特序列中的位置确定第一指示信息。例如,第一指示信息包括n″k个编码比特在待传输的编码比特序列中的位置的索引值。
一种可能的设计中,接收端根据获取与第一待译码序列对应的信道估计结果,信道估计结果中的信道估计值(可以理解的是,信道估计值本身是h,为复数,文本中所指的信 道估计值其实是h的模,即|h|)与待传输的编码比特序列中的编码比特相对应。接收端根据信道估计结果确定待传输的编码比特序列对应的资源段中各个资源子段对应的信道估计均值;接收端从待传输的编码比特序列对应的资源段中确定出信道估计均值较小M个资源子段;其中,M为正整数;接收端根据M个资源子段确定第一指示信息。例如,第一指示信息包括M个资源子段的信息,具体例如M个资源子段的索引值。可以理解的,设Δ为资源段的分段间隔(即每个资源子段包含的资源单元的数量),设每个资源单元对应的编码比特数量为a,则第一指示信息可以指示的编码比特数量为a×Δ×M。本申请a的取值不做限制,例如a=2。
示例性的,设初传码长N0,最多进行t次反馈,总发送码长N,设经过前k-1次发送的总编码比特数为Nk-1,Nk-1中包括N′k-1个首次发送的编码比特,以及N″k-1个重复发送的编码比特(Nk-1=N′k-1+N″k-1);经过k-1次发送后的对数似然比为在第k次发送中要发送nk个编码比特,设资源段的分段间隔为Δ,第i个资源子段的信道估计均值为根据信道估计均值选取个资源子段的信息反馈给发送端。
可以理解的,以上是以第二编码比特序列中全部是已被发送过的编码比特为例。如果第二编码比特序列中还包括未被发送过的编码比特,则可以将中的nk替换为n″k,n″k为第k次发送过程中发送端能够发送的已被发送过的编码比特的数量。
S503、接收端发送第一指示信息,相应的,发送端接收第一指示信息。
可选的,接收端还发送NACK,以指示接收端译码失败。其中,NACK和第一指示信息可以承载于同一个消息中,也可以分别承载于不同的消息中,本申请不做限制。
S504、发送端根据第一指示信息发送第二编码比特序列,其中待传输的编码比特序列包括第二编码比特序列;相应的,接收端接收第二待译码序列,其中第二待译码序列为发送端根据第一指示信息发送的第二编码比特序列经由信道传输后形成的序列。
其中,第二编码比特序列中包括:待传输的编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特,和/或,待传输的编码比特序列中未被发送过的至少一个编码比特。
可以理解的是,这里的第二编码比特序列,为发送端发送第一编码比特序列之后接着发送的第一个编码比特序列,即第一编码比特序列和第二编码比特序列中间没有其他编码比特序列。
示例性的,设发送端最多进行t次重传,第一编码比特序列为发送端初传的编码比特序列,第二编码比特序列为发送端第一次重传的编码比特序列;或者,第一编码比特序列为发送端第q-1次重传的编码比特序列,第二编码比特序列为发送端第q次重传的编码比特序列,q为大于1且小于或等于t的正整数。
或者,另一种描述:设发送端最多进行t次重传为例,加上初传,发送端最多发送t+1次编码比特序列,第一编码比特序列为发送端第k-1次发送的编码比特序列,第二编码比特序列为发送端第k次发送的编码比特序列,k为大于1且小于或等于t+1的正整数。
在上文图4所示的IR-HARQ方案中,在只有1比特的反馈信息的情况下,接收端译码失败后只反馈NACK,发送端发送的重传部分中的编码比特全部都是待传输的编码比特序列中未被发送过的编码比特。
而在本实施例中,由于接收端反馈了更多的反馈信息,即第一指示信息,所以发送端可以根据第一指示信息进行针对性的重传,使得第二编码比特序列中可以包括待传输的编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特,进而充分发挥接收端的纠错检错能力,提升接收端译码纠错的性能。
可以理解的,若第一编码比特序列、第二编码比特序列分别为发送端第k-1次和第k次发送的编码比特序列,且k大于2时,若第二编码比特序列中包括待传输的编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特,则该已被发送过的至少一个编码比特可以包括:
发送端在第k-1次发送的编码比特序列(第一编码比特序列)中的编码比特,和/或,
发送端在第k-1次之前发送的编码比特序列中的编码比特。
以k=3为例:第二编码比特序列为发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列第3次发送的编码比特序列,若第二编码比特序列中包括待传输的编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特,则该已被发送过的至少一个编码比特,可以是发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列第2次发送的编码比特序列中的编码比特,也可以是发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列第1次发送的编码比特序列中的编码比特,还可以一部分是第2次发送的编码比特序列中的编码比特,另一部分是第1次发送的编码比特序列中的编码比特。
当然,在具体实现时,第二编码比特序列中也可以包括待传输的编码比特序列中未被发送过的至少一个编码比特,或者既包括待传输的编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特又包括待传输的编码比特序列中未被发送过的至少一个编码比特。
其中,第二编码比特序列中已被发送过的编码比特的占比可以根据系统资源配置情况来确定。
一种可能的设计中,第二编码比特序列中已被发送过的编码比特的占比不超过预设值δ。
在具体实现时,预设值δ为固定值。例如,设发送端最多进行t次重传,加上初传,发送端最多发送t+1次编码比特序列,t+1次中每一次发送的编码比特序列中已被发送过的编码比特的占比都不超过预设值δ。
在具体实现时,预设值δ的取值也可以动态变化。
例如,设发送端最多进行t次重传,加上初传,发送端最多发送t+1次编码比特序列,其中第一编码比特序列为发送端第k-1次发送的编码比特序列,第二编码比特序列为发送端第k次发送的编码比特序列,设至多t+1次发送过程中发送端重复发送的编码比特的占比不超过δ′,则发送端在第k次发送过程中发送的第二编码比特序列中已被发送的编码比特的占比δ,可以根据δ′、前k-1次发送过程中重复发送的编码比特的数量N″k-1、前k-1次发送过程中发送的编码比特的数量Nk-1、以及第k次发送过程中能够发送的编码比特总数nk确定:
可以理解的,若δ′(Nk-1+nk)-N″k-1小于0,则δ取0。
相应的,发送端可以根据δ以及第k次发送过程中能够发送的编码比特总数nk确定第k次发送过程中能够发送的已被发送过的编码比特的数量n″k:n″k≤δ′×nk
如此,可以保证针对待传输编码比特的所有发送过程(如至多t+1次发送过程)中首次发送的编码比特(即除了已被发送过的编码比特之外的其它编码比特)和非首次发送的编码比特(即已被发送过的编码比特)有合理的占比分配(例如最多t+1次发送过程中重 复发送的编码比特的占比不超过δ′),避免已被发送过的编码比特的占比过少导致译码纠错性能差的问题,以及避免已被发送过的编码比特的占比过多导致占用较多传输资源的问题。
另一种可能的设计中,也可以直接根据前k-1次发送的情况、第k次发送过程中能够发送的编码比特总数nk、以及δ′确定第k次发送过程中已被发送过的编码比特的数量(即第二编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特的数量)n″k
其中,n″k为第二编码比特序列(即第k次发送的编码比特序列)中包括的待传输的编码比特序列中已被发送过的至少一个编码比特的数量;Nk-1表示发送端在发送第二编码比特序列之前发送的编码比特的数量(即前k次),N″k-1表示发送端在发送第二编码比特序列之前重复发送的编码比特的数量;nk为第二编码比特序列中包括的编码比特的数量;δ′为发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列发送的所有编码比特序列中重复发送的编码比特的占比对应的门限值,发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列发送的所有编码比特序列中重复发送的编码比特的占比不超过δ′。
如此,可以保证针对待传输编码比特的所有发送过程中首次发送的编码比特和非首次发送的编码比特有合理的占比分配(例如重复发送的编码比特的占比不超过δ′),避免已被发送过的编码比特的占比过少导致译码纠错性能差的问题,以及避免已被发送过的编码比特的占比过多导致占用较多传输资源的问题。
发送端在确定出第k次发送过程中要发送的n″k个已被发送过的编码比特和未被发送过的n′k个编码比特之后(其中n′k=nk-n″k),即得到第二编码比特序列,然后就可以发送第二编码比特序列。
一种可能的设计中,δ′大于或等于预设门限值。在具体实现时,该预设门限值可以与初传码率成反比。如此,可以进一步提高接收端的译码纠错性能。
S505、接收端根据第二待译码序列,重新译码。
具体的,若第一编码比特序列为初传的编码比特序列(例如第二编码比特序列为发送端第k-1次发送的编码比特序列,k=2),则接收端将第二编码比特序列和第一编码比特序列进行合并,对合并后的编码比特序列进行迭代译码。
若第一编码比特序列不是初传的编码比特序列,即在第一编码比特序列之前还有其它编码比特序列(例如第二编码比特序列为发送端第k-1次发送的编码比特序列,k>2),则接收端将第一编码比特序列、第二编码比特序列以及之前接收到的其它编码比特序列进行合并(即合并前k次接收到的所有编码比特序列),对合并后的编码比特序列进行迭代译码。例如得到新的LLR序列,根据新的LLR进行译码。
进一步的,如果重新译码失败,且未达到最大重传次数t,则接收端可以继续按照S502介绍的方法,确定出新的指示信息,并将新的指示信息发送给发送端,使得发送端根据新的指示信息再次(即第k+1次)发送编码比特序列,如此循环,直至接收端译码成功或者达到最大重传次数为止。
上述方案,接收端在译码失败后,可以发送第一指示信息以指示发送端已发送过的至 少一个编码比特的位置信息,使得发送端在重传时可以发送这些已发送过的至少一个编码比特,可以提升接收端的译码纠错性能。参见图5B,为衰落(Fading)信道,正交相移键控(Quadrature Phase Shift Keying,QPSK)调制方式下,接收端基于LLR反馈第一指示信息的方式下,接收端对LDPC码进行译码的性能评估图。参见图5C和图5D,为Fading信道,QPSK调制方式下,接收端基于信道估计值反馈第一指示信息的方式下,接收端对LDPC码进行译码的性能评估图。在图5B、图5C和图5D中,横坐标表示的是信噪比(Es/N0),纵坐标表示的是译码出错率(BLock Error Rate,BLER)。
参见图6A,为本申请实施例提供的另一种信息传输方法的流程示意图,包括:
S601、发送端发送第三编码比特序列;相应的,接收端接收第三待译码序列,第三待译码序列为发送端发送的第三编码比特序列经由信道传输后形成的序列。
发送端通过对待传输的信息比特进行编码,生成待传输的编码比特序列。其中,发送端使用的编码方案包括但不限于是LDPC、Polar等编码方案。
发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列第一次发送编码比特序列的过程为初传过程,初传过程之后发送编码比特序列的过程为重传过程。其中,重传的次数可以是一次或多次,本申请不做限制。
第三编码比特序列,可以是初传过程中发送的编码比特序列,也可以是重传过程中发送的编码比特序列,本申请不做限制。
示例性的,设发送端最多进行t次重传,加上初传,发送端最多发送t+1次编码比特序列,其中第三编码比特序列可以为发送端第k-1次发送的编码比特序列,k为大于1且小于或等于t+1的正整数。
相应的,接收端可以多次接收待译码序列。具体来说,接收端针对发送端每一次发送的编码比特序列,都对应接收一次待译码序列。其中,第三待译码序列对应第三编码比特序列,即第三待译码序列为发送端根据待传输的编码比特序列发送的第三编码比特序列经由信道传输后形成的序列。
可以理解的,发送端发送第三编码比特序列之前,还可以对第三编码比特序列进行调制等其它处理,第三编码比特序列被转换成波形信号后,被发射至到信道(或者说载波)进行传输。波形信号在传输过程中,由于路径损耗、噪声干扰等影响,会产生一定程度的变形,因此接收端接收到的波形信号与发送端发送的波形信号可以有差别。相应的,接收端收到波形信号之后,对其进行解调等处理,得到与第三编码比特序列对应的第三待译码序列。为了便于描述,本文将上述过程描述为发送端发送第三待译码序列和接收端接收第三待译码序列。
S602、接收端对第三待译码序列进行译码,得到第一译码结果。
具体的,接收端采用与发送端编码方案相对应的译码方案对第三待译码序列进行译码,例如,发端使用LDPC矩阵对待传输的信息比特序列编码生成第三编码比特序列,则接收端使用该LDPC矩阵对第三待译码序列进行迭代译码。
若译码成功,例如cHT=0(其中c表示译码码字,H表示LDPC矩阵),则停止译码。
应理解,cHT=0是译码成功的必要不充分条件,cHT=0仅为一种示例,实际译码成功还需要满足其它判断条件,本申请不做限制。
可选的,接收端还可以发送ACK,用于以指示译码成功。
若译码失败,例如cHT≠0,则接收端执行S603。应理解,cHT≠0仅为一种示例,实际还可以有其它原因导致译码失败,本申请不做限制。
S603、若译码失败,接收端发送第一译码结果;相应的,发送端接收第一译码结果。
可选的,接收端可以将第一译码结果压缩之后发送给发送端,以减少资源开销。进一步可选的,接收端可以只发送第一译码结果中的信息比特,以减少资源开销。例如,发送端通过信源信道联合编码方案(Joint Source Channel Coding Scheme,JSCC)的方法将第一译码结果中的信息比特发送给发送端。
可选的,接收端还可以发送NACK,用于指示译码失败。
S604、发送端根据第一译码结果和第三编码比特序列中的信息比特,从第三编码比特序列中确定出译码出错的编码比特;发送端根据译码出错的编码比特确定第三编码比特序列中的至少一个编码比特。
可以理解的,第一译码结果中的信息比特的位置和第三编码比特序列中的信息比特的位置一一对应,若对应位置上的信息比特不同,则认为该位置上的编码比特译码出错。
发送端通过对比第一译码结果中的信息比特和第三编码比特序列中的信息比特,确定出所有译码出错的编码比特;然后根据译码出错的编码比特确定第三编码比特序列中的至少一个编码比特(或者说确定第三编码比特序列中的至少一个编码比特的位置)。
其中,由于译码主要的目的是还原信息比特,因此译码出错的编码比特也可以者称为译码出错的信息比特、译码出错的信息位等。
一种可能的设计中,例如系统资源较多的情况下,后续发送端发送的第二指示信息的长度足够大(例如,无论译码出错的编码比特数量有多少,第二指示信息都可以指示所有译码出错的编码比特的位置信息),则可以将所有译码出错的编码比特作为该至少一个编码比特。
另一种可能的设计中,发送端根据译码出错的编码比特的数量确定该至少一个编码比特。例如,系统中资源有限的情况下,第二指示信息的长度有限(例如,如果编码比特数量较多,第二指示信息无法指示所有译码出错的编码比特的位置信息),则可以设置一个阈值T。当译码出错的编码比特的数量小于T时,发送端将译码出错的编码比特作为至少一个编码比特;或者,当译码出错的编码比特的数量大于T时,发送端从译码出错的编码比特中选择T个编码比特,将T个编码比特作为至少一个编码比特。对于译码出错的编码比特的数量等于T的情况,则可以采用以上任意一种方式确定至少一个编码比特,本申请不做限制。其中,T为预设的门限值。
换而言之,当译码出错的信息位较少时,发送端可以直接指示这些译码出错的信息位的位置,使得接收端直接纠正这些错误;当译码出错的信息位较多时,发送端会指示T个译码出错的编码比特的位置,使得接收端纠正这T个信息位的先验信息的错误,并且使用纠正后的先验信息来重新译码。
可选的,发送端可以根据译码出错的编码比特对应的度数、吸收集的归属度、停止集的归属度等指标,从译码出错的编码比特中选择T个编码比特。
例如,按照度数从小到大的顺序(或者吸收集的归属度从大到小的顺序,或者停止集的归属度从大到小的顺序)对译码出错的编码比特进行排序,选择排在前T位的编码比特。
可选的,T可以取使得成立的最大值,其中N为第二指示信息的信息比特长度(具体可根据系统可用资源确定,或者由协议规定,或者由发送端和接收端 约定),k为第一编码比特序列中信息位(或者说信息比特)的个数。
一种可能的设计中,第二指示信息中还包括一个指示位;当译码出错的编码比特的数量小于T时,指示位的取值为第一值;当译码出错的编码比特的数量大于或等于T时,指示位的取值为第二值;其中,第一值与第二值不同。例如:第一值为0,第二值为1;或者,第一值为1,第二值为0。
示例性的,当译码出错的编码比特的数量大于或等于T时,发送端从译码出错的编码比特中选择T个编码比特,将选取的T个编码比特的位置信息进行信源编码,对应到至多N-1长的信息比特序列,并且添加一个指示位到末位,得到第二指示信息。
这样,接收端接收到第二指示信息之后,可以获知第二指示信息中携带的位置信息的具体情况,根据不同情况采用不同的处理策略,具体参见S605中的介绍。
S605、发送端发送第二指示信息,第二指示信息中包括至少一个编码比特的位置信息;相应的,接收端接收第二指示信息。
S606、接收端根据第二指示信息和第一译码结果获取第二译码结果。
一种可能的设计中,例如在系统资源较多的情况下(即无论译码出错的编码比特数量有多少,第二指示信息都可以指示所有译码出错的编码比特的位置信息),例如,第二指示信息未携带指示位,则接收端可以根据第二指示信息直接确定第一译码结果中译码出错的编码比特,校正出错的编码比特(对译码出错的编码比特进行翻转),得到第二译码结果。
另一种可能的设计中,例如在系统资源有限的情况下,例如,第二指示信息中还携带了指示位,则接收端可以根据指示位的不同取值,采用不同的方法获取第二译码结果:
当指示位为第一值时,接收端根据第三编码比特序列中的至少一个编码比特的位置信息确定第一译码结果中出错的编码比特,校正出错的编码比特(对译码出错的编码比特进行翻转),得到第二译码结果;或者,
当指示位为第二值时,接收端根据第三编码比特序列中的至少一个编码比特的位置信息校正第一译码结果对应的先验信息(即接收端对第三待译码序列进行译码过程中获得的先验信息),根据校正后的先验信息对第三编码比特序列重新译码,得到第二译码结果。
例如:根据第二指示信息指示的T个编码比特的位置信息,从第一译码结果对应的LLR序列(接收端对第三待译码序列进行译码过程中获得的LLR序列)中确定出这T个编码比特对应的LLR,如LLR(x),其中x取遍T个编码比特中各个编码比特的位置的索引值;然后令LLR(x)=-1*sign(vall(x))*Inf,其中Inf为用于指示最大幅值的符号,vall(x)为第一译码结果对应的软值,vall(x)=LLR+∑c∈N(v)mc→v,其中c表示校验节点(或者校验方程),v表示变量节点,mc→v表示校验节点发送给变量节点的信息,N(v)表示变量节点v所关联的所有校验方程的集合;然后根据新的LLR序列再次译码。
可选的,若S606再次译码失败,则接收端还可以将第二译码结果反馈给发送端,使得发送端再次确定译码出错的位置,并根据再次确定出的译码出错的位置发送新的指示信息,进而接收端可以再次获取新的译码结果,如此循环,直至接收端译码成功为止。
上述方案中,发送端可以针对性地指示译码出错的位置,使得接收端可以对译码结果进行纠错。相较于等效构造长码的方案(如图4所示),可以有效提高接收端的译码纠错性能。例如,参见图6B和图6C,为加性高斯白噪声(Additive White Gaussion Noise,AWGN)信道,QPSK调制方式下,采用上述方案对LDPC码进行译码的性能评估图。在图6B、图 6C中,横坐标表示的是Es/N0,纵坐标表示的是BLER。
参见图7A,为本申请实施例提供的另一种信息传输方法的流程示意图,方法包括:
S701、发送端使用LDPC矩阵对待传输的信息编码比特进行编码,得到待传输的编码比特序列。
待传输的编码比特序列包括一个或多个第一变量节点对应的编码比特和一个或多个第二变量节点对应的编码比特。其中,第一变量节点为发送端先发送的编码比特对应的变量节点,第二变量节点为发送端在发送了第一变量节点对应的编码比特之后且收到接收端反馈的NACK之后发送的编码比特对应的变量节点。
其中,第二变量节点的列重为1,即在LDPC矩阵中,第二变量节点所在列中只有一个非0元素,即第二变量节点只关联一个校验方程。
以Raptor-like结构的LDPC矩阵为例,则第二变量节点可以是Raptor-like节点。例如,第一变量节点可以是图4中虚线框内的变量节点(对应于初传时的编码比特),第二变量节点可以是虚线框外的变量节点(对应于重传时的编码比特)。可以理解的,该一个或多个第二变量节点可以是虚线框外的所有变量节点,也可以是虚线框外的部分变量节点,本申请不做限制。
S702、发送端发送一个或多个第一变量节点对应的编码比特;相应的,接收端接收第四待译码序列。
可以理解的,发送端在发送一个或多个第一变量节点对应的编码比特之前或之时,还未发送上述一个或多个第二变量节点对应的编码比特。即步骤S702中发送端发送的编码比特不包括上述一个或多个第二变量节点对应的编码比特。
其中,第四待译码序列为一个或多个第一变量节点对应的编码比特经由信道传输后形成的序列。关于信道传输的过程可以参考上文中第一编码比特序列、第二编码比特序列或第三编码比特序列等的信道传输过程,这里不再赘述。
S703、接收端使用LDPC矩阵对第四待译码序列进行译码;若译码失败,接收端从一个或多个第二变量节点中确定出至少一个第二变量节点。
其中,接收端从一个或多个第二变量节点中确定出至少一个第二变量节点,也可以描述为接收端从一个或多个第二变量节点的位置中确定出至少一个第二变量节点的位置,其中该位置是指至少一个第二变量节点在LDPC矩阵中的(或者说待传输的编码比特序列对应的)所有变量节点中的位置。例如,LDPC矩阵中每个变量节点都对应一个位置标号,则接收端可以从LDPC矩阵中的所有变量节点的位置标号中确定出该至少一个第二变量节点的位置标号。
接收端使用LDPC矩阵对第四待译码序列进行译码过程可以参考上文中第一待译码序列、第二待译码序列或第三待译码序列等的译码过程,这里不再赘述。
若译码成功,则停止译码。可选的,接收端发送ACK。
若译码失败,则接收端从一个或多个第二变量节点中确定出至少一个第二变量节点。
其中,该至少一个第二变量节点可以是需要提高发送功率的第二变量节点,也可以是需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点,或者包括需要提高发送功率的第二变量节点和需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点,本申请不做限制。
在本申请实施例中,可以根据各个第二变量节点关联的第一变量节点的先验信息和/ 或后验信息来评估第二变量节点的可靠度,其中,某个第二变量节点所关联的第一变量节点是指该个第二变量节点对应的校验方程中的第一变量节点。
具体来说,对于可靠度高的,可以降低其发送功率,对于可靠度低的,可以提高其发送功率。
一种可能的设计中,需要提高发送功率的第二变量节点关联的第一变量节点对应的先验信息或后验信息在第一阈值范围内;需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点关联的第一变量节点对应的先验信息或后验信息在第二阈值范围内;其中,第一阈值范围与第二阈值范围不同。例如,第一阈值范围是小于或等于阈值的范围,第二阈值范围为大于该阈值的范围。
一种可能的设计中,先验信息包括译码过程中产生的LLR或信道估计值;和/或,后验信息包括译码结束的软值。
以LLR和软值为例,且以选取需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点为例:
设发送端在初传之后最多进行t次重传,加上初传,至多进行t+1次发送,总发送码长是N,设经过前k-1次发送后的码长为Nk-1,k为大于1且小于或等于t+1的正整数,对数似然比为LLRk-1,在第k次发送中,接收端基于当前已接收到的编码比特(即第四待译码序列,对应一个或多个第一变量节点),选取发送端下一次会进行发送N′k个编码比特对应的Raptor-like节点(即一个或多个第二变量节点),对这样的Raptor-like节点v∈V′k,只关联的一个校验节点c=N(v),其中c表示校验节点,N(v)表示变量节点v关联的校验方程(或者说校验节点c对应的校验方程);针对选取出的每个Raptor-like节点,计算其对应的可靠度指标f(c)=∑v′∈N(c)|LLR(v′)|、g(c)=∑v′∈N(c)(|LLR(v′)+∑c′∈N(v′)mc′→v′|),其中,N(c)表示校验节点c对应的校验方程N(v)中对应编码比特已被发送的变量节点(即第一变量节点)的集合,v′∈N(c)表示v′取遍N(c)中的各个值,N(v′)表示变量节点v′关联的校验节点的集合,c′∈N(v′)表示c′取遍N(v′)中的各个值,mc′→v′表示校验节点c′发送给变量节点v′的信息;根据预先设定好的关于f和g函数的阈值f0和g0,选取Vk={v∈V′k|f(c)>f0,g(c)>g0,c=N(v)};选取出的|Vk|(|Vk|表示集合Vk的大小,即集合Vk中元素的数量)个Raptor-like节点即为发送端在第k次发送中,需要降低发送功率的变量节点。
可以理解的,上述可靠度指标还可以有其它变形,本申请不做限制。例如,可以将上述求和公式变为取最小值函数公式:f(c)=minv′∈N(c)|LLR(v′)|、g(c)=minv′∈N(c)(|LLR(v′)+∑c′∈N(v′)mc′→v′|)。
S704、接收端发送第三指示信息,其中第三指示信息用于指示至少一个第二变量节点;相应的,发送端接收第三指示信息。
根据S703中的相关描述,这里第三指示信息用于指示至少一个第二变量节点,也可以描述为第三指示信息用于指示至少一个第二变量节点的位置,该位置是指该至少一个第二变量节点在LDPC矩阵中的(或者说待传输的编码比特序列对应的)所有变量节点中的位置。
若接收端从一个或多个第二变量节点中确定出的至少一个第二变量节点为需要提高发送功率的第二变量节点(即低可靠度的第二变量节点),则第三指示信息中包括:第一信息,第一信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要提高发送功率的第二变量节点(或者第一信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要提高发送功率的第二变量节点的位置);
若接收端从一个或多个第二变量节点中确定出的至少一个第二变量节点为需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点(即高可靠度的第二变量节点),则第三指示信息中包括:第二 信息,第二信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点(或者第二信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点的位置);
若接收端从一个或多个第二变量节点中确定出的至少一个第二变量节点既包括需要提高发送功率的第二变量节点(即低可靠度的第二变量节点)又包括需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点(即高可靠度的第二变量节点),则第三指示信息中可以包括第一信息和第二信息,第一信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要提高发送功率的第二变量节点(或者第一信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要提高发送功率的第二变量节点的位置),第二信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点(或者第二信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点的位置)。
沿用S703中的例子,若发送端选取Vk={v∈V′k|f(c)>f0,g(c)>g0,c=N(v)},则第三指示信息中包括选取出的|Vk|个Raptor-like节点的位置信息,例如|Vk|个Raptor-like节点的位置的索引值。
S705、发送端根据第三指示信息为一个或多个第二变量节点对应的编码比特分配发送功率。
可以理解的,LDPC矩阵中各个变量节点预分配有功率,且所有变量节点对应的总功率为P。发送端收到第三指示信息之后,在一个或多个第二变量节点原有的功率的基础上,根据第三指示信息对一个或多个第二变量节点的功率做调整,实现为一个或多个第二变量节点对应的编码比特分配发送功率。
具体来说,若接第三指示信息中仅包括第一信息,第一信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要提高发送功率的第二变量节点,则发送端可以提高第三指示信息中指示的第二变量节点的功率,同时降低其他第二变量节点的功率,以保证总功率P不变。
若接第三指示信息中仅包括第二信息,第二信息用于指示一个或多个第二变量节点中需要降低发送功率的第二变量节点,则发送端可以降低第三指示信息中指示的第二变量节点的功率,同时提高其他第二变量节点的功率,以保证总功率P不变。
若第三指示信息中同时包括第一信息和第二信息,则发送端按照第一信息提高对应的第二变量节点的功率以及按照第二信息降低对应的第二变量节点功率,保证总功率P不变。
沿用S703、S704中的例子,第三指示信息中包含|Vk|个Raptor-like节点的位置的索引值,这|Vk|个Raptor-like节点为需要降低发送功率的Raptor-like节点(即高可靠度的第二变量节点),则发送端降低这|Vk|个Raptor-like节点的发送功率,并提高其他Raptor-like节点的发送功率,且满足|Vk|Pl+(N′k-|Vk|)Ph=N′k*P0=P,其中Ph表示提高后的发送功率,Ph表示降低后的发送功率,Ph表示初始发送功率。
S706、发送端按照分配好的发送功率发送一个或多个第二变量节点对应的编码比特;相应的接收端接收第五待译码序列。
沿用S705中的例子,接收端接收到的符号为其中x为发送符号,n为信道噪声;接收端根据收到的符号产生新的对数似然比用于译码;接收端根据是否译码成功和是否达到最大重传次数t来判定发送端是否要进行第k+1次发送。
上述方案中,基于LDPC码的变量节点的关联特性,结合初传的编码比特对应的译码的可靠度分析,调整待重传的编码比特的发送功率,例如对应可靠度高的变量节点降低发 送功率,对应可靠度低的变量节点提高发送功率,能够有效提高接收端的译码纠错性能。例如,参见图7B为AWGN信道,QPSK调制方式下,采用上述方案对LDPC码进行译码的性能评估图。在图7B中,横坐标表示的是Es/N0,纵坐标表示的是BLER。
