The method includes: determining from a mother basis matrix set a basis matrix used for low density parity check (LDPC) coding (S202), wherein the basis matrix used for LDPC coding includes a first-type element and a second-type element, the first-type element corresponds to an all-zero square matrix, the second-type element corresponds to a matrix obtained by means of a cyclic shift of a unit matrix according to a value of the second-type element, and dimensions of the all-zero square matrix and the unit matrix are equal; and performing LDPC coding on an information sequence to be coded according to the basis matrix used for LDPC coding, and/or performing LDPC decoding on a data sequence to be decoded according to the basis matrix used for LDPC coding (S204).

The disclosure may be applied to intelligent services based on the 5G communication technology and the IoT-related technology, such as smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car, connected car, health care, digital education, smart retail, security and safety services. The method and apparatus for polar encoding and rate-matching are disclosed.

An apparatus for a station (STA) configured for operating in a next-generation (NG) wireless local area network (WLAN) comprises the processing circuitry configured to modify probabilities of constellation points to generate a more Gaussian distribution. In these embodiments, for LDPC framing and OFDM packing, the transmitter circuitry may be configured to compute a number of output bits (b.sub.out) to be transmitted based on a number of payload bits (b.sub.in) at an output of a shaping encoder, a shaping rate (r.sub.shaping), and an overhead percent (B.sub.overhead). A shaping gain of up to 1.53 dB may be achieved. A new shaping encoder is provided to address the issue that the number of bits is not fixed.

A method for channel-coding information bits using a code generation matrix including 32 rows and A columns corresponding to length of the information bits includes, channel-coding the information bits having “A” length using basis sequences having 32-bit length corresponding to columns of the code generation matrix, and outputting the channel-coded result as an output sequence. If “A” is higher than 10, the code generation matrix is generated when (A-10) additional basis sequences were added as column-directional sequences to a first or second matrix. The first matrix is a TFCI code generation matrix composed of 32 rows and 10 columns used for TFCI coding. The second matrix is made when at least one of an inter-row location or an inter-column location of the first matrix was changed. The additional basis sequences satisfy a value 10 of a minimum Hamming distance.

A transmitter is provided. The transmitter includes: an outer encoder configured to encode input bits to generate outer-encoded bits including the input bits and parity bits; a zero padder configured to generate a plurality of bit groups each of which is formed of a same number of bits, maps the outer-encoded bits to some of the bits in the bit groups, and pads zero bits to remaining bits in the bit groups, based on a predetermined shortening pattern, thereby to constitute Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) information bits; and an LDPC encoder configured to encode the LDPC information bits, wherein the remaining bits in which zero bits are padded include some of the bit groups which are not sequentially disposed in the LDPC information bits.

A polar encoding and decoding method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: obtaining K to-be-encoded bits; selecting K sequence numbers from a first sequence, where the to-be-encoded bits are placed on polar channels corresponding to the K sequence numbers; and performing polar code encoding on the K to-be-encoded bits to obtain encoded bits, where the first sequence includes sequence numbers of N polar channels, and the first sequence is one or a subsequence of a related sequence. This technical solution is applicable to a short message communication system of a BeiDou satellite. The method can effectively improve performance of the communication system and reduce complexity.

In an embodiment, a method for lifting a child code from a base code for encoding and decoding data includes determining a single combination of a circulant size, a lifting function, and a labelled base matrix PCM according to an information length and a code rate using data stored in a lifting table. The lifting table was defined at a code generation stage. The method also includes calculating a plurality of shifts for the child code. Each shift is calculated by applying the lifting function to the labelled base matrix PCM with a defined index using the circulant size and using the derived child PCM to encode or decode data.

A system and method for providing error control coding for backhaul applications are disclosed. Data is first encoded using Reed-Solomon (RS) coding. The output RS blocks are then turbo coded. The size of the output RS blocks is selected to match the input of the turbo encoder. The bits from the RS blocks may be interleaved to create the input turbo blocks. Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) parity bits may be added to the data prior to RS coding.
