US Patent 11303303 Rate 7/8 low-density parity-check (LDPC) code

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for encoding data for wireless transmissions. In one aspect, a wireless device may encode a number (M) of systematic bits for transmission to a receiving device. The systematic bits may be encoded using a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code to produce an LDPC codeword. The LDPC codeword may include a number (N) of codeword bits, including the M systematic bits and one or more parity bits. The wireless device may further puncture a number (K) of the codeword bits to produce a punctured codeword having a code rate M/(N−K)>5/6. The wireless device may transmit the N−K remaining codeword bits, over a wireless channel, to a receiving device.
