Quantization codeword selection for low cost parity checking

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. The described techniques provide for generating, by an encoding device, one or more entropy symbols, the length of which changes responsive to errors, stacking the entropy symbols into fixed intervals, and selecting a parity bit. The encoding device may divide entropy symbols that are longer than the fixed interval duration and stack the excess portions of the long entropy symbols with shorter entropy symbols in other intervals. The encoding device may transmit the slacked data packet according to the stacking. A decoding device may receive the data packet, identify the locations of the entropy symbols and the selected parity bit, check the parity of each entropy symbol, identify error bits based on the locations of the entropy symbols within multiple fixed intervals, and may correct error bits based on the stacked intervals, the parity bit, and an error mask.
