A broadcast signal reception method, according to one embodiment of the present invention, may comprise the steps of: receiving a broadcast signal, demodulating the received broadcast signal by an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) method, parsing at least one signal frame from the demodulated broadcast signal, convolutionally deinterleaving data in the at least one parsed signal frame, block deinterleaving the convolutionally deinterleaved data, cell deinterleaving the block deinterleaved data, and decoding the cell deinterleaved data.

Techniques are disclosed for reducing overhead during hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) operations performed by a user equipment (UE) during wireless communication. The UE receives a message over the wireless network and obtains a parity check matrix (PCM) associated with a received message. Rows of the PCM are assigned to respective groups of a plurality of groups, where the respective groups have corresponding one or more parity checks as determined by the PCM. The UE generates a feedback message including a plurality of bits, wherein an individual bit of the plurality of bits indicates whether a corresponding respective group of the plurality of groups include one or more unsatisfied parity checks. The UE then transmits the feedback message to a base station of the wireless network.

A base station indicates, to a user equipment (UE) configured for operation with carrier aggregation, a resource for a transmission of a physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format that conveys acknowledgement information from the UE, and the UE determines the resource and a transmission power for the PUCCH format.

A broadcast signal reception method, according to one embodiment of the present invention, may include receiving the broadcast signal including broadcast data and physical layer signaling information, where the physical layer signaling information includes frequency interleaver information for indicating whether a frequency interleaver is applied to the broadcast data, performing frequency deinterleaving on the broadcast data selectively based on the frequency interleaver information, convolutionally deinterleaving the broadcast data, block deinterleaving the convolutionally deinterleaved broadcast data, and cell deinterleaving the block deinterleaved broadcast data using a memory, where the cell deinterleaving includes random writing the block deinterleaved broadcast data into the memory and linear reading the block deinterleaved broadcast data from the memory, and the random writing is performed based on a permutation sequence and the permutation sequence varies for every FEC block.

A transmitter apparatus wherein a simple structure is used to successfully suppress the degradation of error rate performance that otherwise would be caused by fading or the like. There are included encoding parts that encode transport data; a mapping part that performs such a mapping that encoded data sequentially formed by the encoding parts are not successively included in the same symbol, thereby forming data symbols; and a symbol interleaver that interleaves the data symbols. In this way, a low computational complexity can be used to perform an interleaving process equivalent to a bit interleaving process to effectively improve the reception quality at a receiving end.

An optical transmitter includes a first encoder, a first interleaver, a second encoder, a mapper, a second interleaver, and a frame generator. The first encoder is configured to encode data using a staircase code to generate first codewords. The first interleaver is configured to interleave the first codewords using convolutional interleaving to spread a transmission order of the first codewords. The second encoder is configured to encode the interleaved first codewords using a second code to generate second codewords. The mapper is configured to map the second codewords to transmit symbols. The second interleaver is configured to interleave the transmit symbols to distribute the transmit symbols between pilot symbols. The frame generator is configured to generate a transmit frame including the interleaved transmit symbols and the pilot symbols.

A device is provided, which includes radio-frequency circuitry and an encoder. The encoder is configured to modulate input data to generate a long-range packet, and to transmit the long-range packet to a receiver through the radio-frequency circuitry. The long-range packet includes a long-range signal field (LR-SIG) and a long-range data field (LR-DATA). Each modulated bit in the long-range signal field and the long-range data field is spread into a plurality of spread modulated bits that are distributed into a plurality of symbols in a frequency domain.

In a wireless local area network system, a station (STA) may perform binary convolutional code (BCC) encoding on a data field. The STA may puncture the data field in a first puncturing pattern and may transmit a physical protocol data unit (PPDU) including a control field and the data field. The control field may include control information related to the first puncturing pattern.

A method of telecommunications includes the steps of receiving an encoded block having a plurality of values, dividing the received encoded block into a plurality of received segments, each received segment comprising at least two of the values, decoding each received segment by providing, for each received segment, a plurality of estimated encoded sequences, each estimated encoded sequence comprising at least two data units, merging estimated encoded sequences for consecutive segments to provide a plurality of candidate sequences, and selecting one of the plurality of candidate sequences by performing a closest fit calculation between the received encoded data block and each of the candidate sequences. The method is suitable for use in software-defined radios.

A receiving apparatus includes: a receiving module that is a fixed circuit whose internal processing procedure is not able to be changed, the receiving module performing demodulation processing on a reception signal to generate a binary hard decision sequence; and an external reception controller including a receiving module controller to control the receiving module, and a redundancy decoder to redundantly decode the binary hard decision sequence output from the receiving module for conversion into a multilevel sequence, wherein the redundancy decoder redundantly decodes the binary hard decision sequence by combining values weighted based on reliability.
