Wireless communications systems and methods related user multiplexing with discrete Fourier transform (DFT) precoded frequency interlaces are provided. A first wireless communication device identifies a first block-spreading code from a set of block-spreading codes associated with user multiplexing. The first wireless communication device communicates, with a second wireless communication device using a frequency interlace in a frequency spectrum, a first communication signal including a first block of information symbols spread across a set of resource blocks (RBs) within the frequency interlace based on the first block-spreading code. The first communication signal is generated by block-spreading the first block of information symbols based on the first block-spreading code to produce a first block of spread information symbols, performing a DFT on the first block of spread information symbols, and mapping the first block of spread information symbols to the set of RBs.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to techniques for retransmission of code block groups when code block group (CBG) level feedback is unreliable. A user equipment (UE), in a first slot, transmits a first CBG feedback corresponding to a first set of CBGs received from a base station. In a second slot after the first slot, the UE receives downlink control information (DCI) and a first cyclic redundancy check (CRC). The first CRC is generated based on the DCI and further scrambled by a first concatenation of CBG feedbacks as decoded by the base station. The UE generates a second CRC based on the DCI and further scrambled by a second concatenation of CBG feedbacks including the first CBG feedback. The UE determines that the base station correctly decoded the first CBG feedback based on a comparison of the first CRC and the second CRC.

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 method for performing code block segmentation for wireless transmission using concatenated forward error correction encoding includes receiving a transport block of data for transmission having a transport block size, along with one or more parameters that define a target code rate. A number N of inner code blocks needed to transmit the transport block is determined. A number M—outer code blocks may be calculated based on the number of inner code blocks and on encoding parameters for the outer code blocks. The transport block may then be segmented and encoded according to the calculated encoding parameters.

A polar code may be initially divided into multiple polar component codes where the features of these component codes, such as the number of component codes and the size of the component codes, are determined based on parameters such as the number of available timing units within a transmission interval, interleaving depth, and decoder capability. For each selected component code, the order of code bit generation and their indexes may be determined. The determined indexes may be assigned into different, unique groups according to the order of code bit generation. An interleaving operation may be configured and then executed according to the determined index grouping. In the transmission phase, the code bits may be transmitted based on the identified order of the bit generation in the component polar codes, such as the determined index grouping.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is well-suited to mitigate message faults by combining analog and digital information in 5G and 6G communications. The analog information includes everything measureable about the waveform signal as-received, and the digital information includes the error-detection code accompanying the message. For example, the AI model can localize the most likely faulted message elements according to amplitude fluctuations or phase deviations or other signaling irregularity, and can then use the error-detection code to calculate the corrected values of the faulted message elements. The AI model can also check the error-detection code itself for faults and consistency, as well as a demodulation reference that was used to demodulate the message, thereby avoiding a defective mitigation if either of those is faulted. The AI model can provide output including the most likely corrected version of the message, as well as a comparison with other possible versions, if any.
