This application discloses a data transmission method, a sending device, a receiving device, and a communications system. The sending device is configured to send a first transport block. The sending device obtains a coded bit segment from a first encoded code block. The first encoded code block is obtained after LDPC encoding is performed on a first code block in the first transport block based on a processing capability of the receiving device. The sending device sends the coded bit segment to the receiving device. Because the processing capability of the receiving device is considered, storage overheads of the sending device or the receiving device can be reduced, encoding or decoding complexity can be reduced, and a decoding success rate can be improved.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to ascertaining whether data messages are repetitions of a previous data message. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments characterized herein, data packets (130/131) are received (102) and which use a first time delay relative to transmission of a previous data packet (120/121) by a different transmitter. Repetitions (110A/111A) of data packets are also received (102), and which use a second time delay relative to transmission of a previous data packet (110/111) by the same transmitter. The second time delay is less than the first time delay. The received packet is identified (102) as being a repetition of an immediately-previous data packet based on a time delay between the data packet and the immediately-previous data packet, relative to the first and second time delays.

In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be a UE configured to receive a plurality of beams through a plurality of different receive beam directions, each of the beams including broadcast information on a PBCH. The apparatus may be further configured to determine, for each of a subset of the received beams, a log likelihood ratio (LLR) for coded bits of the broadcast information. The apparatus may be further configured to decode the broadcast information associated with each of the subset of the received beams, and determine a refined receive beam direction based on the determined LLRs and based on whether the broadcast information associated with each of the subset of the received beams fails to decode or is successfully decoded.

The present technology relates to an electronic device. A memory device performing efficient soft decoding by reducing the number of data provided to a memory controller includes a memory cell array and a page buffer connected to the memory cell array through a bit line.

This application discloses a transmission method, a transmission apparatus, and a communications device. The transmission method includes: performing polar encoding on a bit sequence, to obtain an encoded sequence, where the bit sequence includes control information and a cyclic redundancy check CRC sequence; fragmenting the encoded sequence, to obtain n encoded subsequences, where n is an integer, and n>0; and scrambling the n encoded subsequences by using n scrambling sequences respectively, to obtain n scrambled sequences. In the transmission method, the n scrambling sequences are newly defined based on encoding and decoding features of a polar code, and the n scrambling sequences additionally carry log.sub.2n-bit information. According to the foregoing encoding method, signaling overheads are reduced.

A method performed by a first communication device is disclosed herein. The first communication device operates in a communications network. The first communication device selects a first method to decode a physical broadcast channel from a plurality of methods to decode the physical broadcast channel. The plurality of methods to decode the physical broadcast channel comprises: a) single-shot decoding only, b) soft-combining decoding only, and c) both single-shot decoding and soft-combining decoding simultaneously. The selecting is based on whether or not a time index of a synchronization signal and physical broadcast channel block, SS/PBCH block, for transmitting primary and secondary synchronization signals and a physical broadcast channel is known by the first communication device. The first communication device then decodes the received physical broadcast channel based on the selected first method.

Embodiments of this application provide an information processing method and a coding apparatus. An information bit sequence includes a K-bit information block. The information bit sequence is to be processed into an encoded bit sequence with a target code length M. For a given code rate R, when the length K of the information block is greater than a preset threshold, the information bit sequence is segmented into two or more segments. Each segment is polar encoded into an encoded subsequence. The encoded subsequence has a length that equals to a mother code length Ni, and i=1, 2, . . . , p. Each of the p encoded subsequences is rate matched to obtain a rate-matched encoded subsequence. A rate-matched encoded subsequence i of the p rate-matched encoded subsequences has a code length Mi. The p rate-matched encoded subsequences are concatenated into an encoded bit sequence which has a code length M.
