Aspects of the disclosure relate to mechanisms for code block segmentation in a wireless communication network (e.g., a sidelink network). In some examples, a wireless communication device may reserve resources across two or more slots on a carrier for transmission of a transport block. The wireless communication device may then select code block parameters for segmenting the transport block into a plurality of encoded code blocks such that each encoded code bock is fully contained within a single slot. In some examples, the code block parameters may include a number of encoded code blocks and a respective size of each of the encoded code blocks.

A method implemented in a computer system includes training a network, which is obtained by unfolding an iterative algorithm for demodulation or demodulation and decoding, using a machine learning technique with a loss function that takes into account non-Gaussianity of a log-likelihood ratio (LLR) distribution calculated from an output of the network. The method further includes producing a first set of learned parameters of that iterative algorithm.

This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for acknowledgement and retransmission, and more specifically, to methods, devices and systems that enable a secondary wireless channel to provide acknowledgements of data transmitted on a primary wireless channel concurrently with the reception of additional data on the primary wireless channel. In some implementations, a transmitting device may transmit wireless packets including multiple codewords to a receiving device via a first wireless channel. The receiving device may attempt to decode the received codewords based on primary information in the codewords. The receiving device may then transmit to the transmitting device, via a second wireless channel, a codeword acknowledgement that identifies codewords that the receiving device did not successfully decode. The transmitting device may then transmit parity information to the receiving device via the first wireless channel that aids the receiving device in decoding the identified codewords.

A storage network operates by: issuing a read threshold number of read slice requests to storage units of a set of storage units, where the read threshold number of read slice requests identifies a read threshold number of encoded slices of a set of encoded slices corresponding to a data segment; when one or more other encoded data slices of the read threshold number of encoded slices is not received within a time threshold, facilitating receiving a decode threshold number of encoded slices of the set of encoded slices; decoding the decode threshold number of encoded slices to produce recovered encoded data slices, wherein a number of the recovered encoded data slices corresponds to the read threshold number minus a number of the encoded slices received within the time threshold; and outputting the recovered encoded data slices and the encoded slices of the read threshold number of encoded slices received within the time threshold.

Systems and devices can include a port for transmitting data; and a link coupled to the port. The port, in preparation to transmit a data block across the link, to determine a size of a burst of data to be transmitted across the link; determine a plurality of error correcting code words for forward error correction based on the size of the burst of data; interleave each of the plurality of error correcting code words to correspond with consecutive symbols of the burst of data; and transmit the burst of data comprising the interleaved plurality of error correcting code across the link.

An method of determining a symbol according to a phase difference between input signals input in order of time may include calculating a first phase difference between a phase of a first previous signal received prior to a target signal and a phase of a second previous signal received prior to the first previous signal; calculating a second phase difference between a phase of the target signal and the phase of the second previous signal; calculating target likelihoods based on the first phase difference and the second phase difference; and determining an expected phase difference between the target signal and the first previous signal or an expected symbol for the target signal, based on the target likelihoods.

A data encoding and decoding method for underwater acoustic networks (UANs) based on an improved online fountain code, including: in a build-up phase, subjecting all original packets to sequential encoding according to their serial numbers to generate and send encoded packets with degree 2; merging k original packets to k/8 connected components with a size of 8; performing random encoding until a largest connected component is successfully decoded; in a completion phase, sending, by a receiver, a feedback packet according to a current decoding graph; according to a feedback packet containing decoding states of all the original packets, sending, by a sender, encoded packets with degree m; and randomly selecting original packets for recursive encoding to generate and send encoded packets with degree 1 or 2; and setting, by the receiver, a threshold to restrict the number of feedback packets.

The technology relates to an encoding device, an encoding method, a decoding device, a decoding method, and a program enabling encoding with favorable transmission efficiency with a controlled running disparity.

A calculation section divides inputted data into N or M bits to calculate a first running disparity of an N or M bit data string. A determination section determines whether the data string is inverted based on the first running disparity calculated by the calculation section and a second running disparity calculated therebefore. An addition section inverts or non-inverts the data string based on a determination result by the determination section to add a flag indicating the determination result for outputting. The determination section determines not to perform inversion when the data string is a control code. The addition section adds the flag assigned to the control code. The technology is applicable to a device communicating in an SLVS-EC specification.

Apparatuses and methods for transmitting or receiving a signal or a channel. A method for operating a user equipment (UE) to receive the signal or the channel includes receiving a configuration for spatial filters, determining first and second spatial filters from the spatial filters, and determining first and second numbers of repetitions. The spatial filters correspond to spatial relations with reference signals (RSs), respectively. The first and second spatial filters are different. The first and second numbers of repetitions are different. The method further includes transmitting the signal or the channel using the first spatial filter for the first number of repetitions and using the second spatial filter for the second number of repetitions. The second number of repetitions is transmitted after the first number of repetitions.
