Coding techniques for a (e.g., OFDM) communication system capable of transmitting data on a number of “transmission channels” at different information bit rates based on the channels' achieved SNR. A base code is used in combination with common or variable puncturing to achieve different coding rates required by the transmission channels. The data (i.e., information bits) for a data transmission is encoded with the base code, and the coded bits for each channel (or group of channels with the similar transmission capabilities) are punctured to achieve the required coding rate. The coded bits may be interleaved (e.g., to combat fading and remove correlation between coded bits in each modulation symbol) prior to puncturing. The unpunctured coded bits are grouped into non-binary symbols and mapped to modulation symbols (e.g., using Gray mapping). The modulation symbol may be “pre-conditioned” and prior to transmission.

Improvements to demodulators in receivers of radios used for train communications t to receive a radio frequency (RF) signal transmitting a packet of data. A demodulator is configured to generate a soft decision for a decoder, the soft decision including reliability information determined by calculating for the bit position a logarithmic likelihood ratio (LLR). The demodulator is configured to correct a bias in the LLR calculation for any one of the bit positions resulting from a difference in the number symbols in the set of all possible symbols that could have a 0 value in the bit position and the set of all possible symbols that could have a 1 in the bit position.

Each of a plurality of interleavers is configured to interleave a respective one of the plurality of FEC data streams into an intermediate data stream including first data blocks and second data blocks. An encoder module configured to generate, for each of the intermediate data streams, FEC blocks including a first parity section and a first data section, the first parity section including a first parity bit corresponding to the first data blocks and a second parity bit corresponding to the second data blocks, and the first data section including the first data blocks and the second data blocks, and output the FEC blocks at the second data rate.

A reception device includes: a receiver that receives a multiplexed signal; a first demapper that demaps the multiplexed signal, with a second modulated symbol stream being included in the multiplexed signal as an undetermined signal component, to generate a first bit likelihood stream; a second demapper that demaps the multiplexed signal, with a first modulated symbol stream being included in the multiplexed signal as an undetermined signal component, to generate a second bit likelihood stream; a first decoder that performs error control decoding on the first bit likelihood stream; and a second decoder that performs error control decoding on the second bit likelihood stream. The multiplexed signal is a signal on which the first modulated symbol stream and the second modulated symbol stream are superposed, the second modulated symbol stream being subjected to conversion in accordance with the first modulated symbol stream in only a first direction.

The present disclosure discloses a method and a device in a User and a base station used for channel coding. A first node determines a first bit block; performs channel coding; and transmits a first radio signal. Bits in the first bit block are used to generate bits in a second bit block. The bits in the first bit block and in the second bit block are used for an input to the channel coding, an output after the channel coding is used to generate the first radio signal. Channel coding is based on a polar code. A sub-channel occupied by a target first type bit is related to the number of bits in the second bit block related to the target first type bit. The target first type bit belongs to the first bit block. The disclosure can improve decoding performance of polar codes and reduce complexity of decoding.
