2.2 支持Polar作为eMBB信道编码方式
参考提案: R1-168040:WF on channel coding selection
RAN1#85观察到对于大信息块,所有候选信道编码的链路性能具有可比性。
会议讨论过程中,对于eMBB数据信道的编码方案,也同样存在上述多种方案,RAN1 #86bis会议纪要中有一段描述,首先是Question: How many channel coding schemes should be specified for the NR eMBB data channel(eMBB数据信道需要规定几种信道编码方案)? 1种的选项为LDPC和Polar,Polar后面只列出了华为。而大于1种的方案就是Turbo+LDPC以及LDPC+Polar,各有多个拥护者。报告也同时说明上述问题给出了一个大致的结论,但是也很不全面。因此,可能的决议为:
-选择1:eMBB数据信道只采用LDPC编码。
-选择2:eMBB数据信道采用LDPC+Polar编码,根据数据块大小X确定。
-选择3:eMBB数据信道采用LDPC+Turbo编码,根据数据块大小X确定。
最终决定为:
-eMBB中,信息块大小>X时,数据信道的编码方式为LDPC码。
-eMBB中,信息块大小<=X时,RAN1#87决定选择Polar、LDPC和Turbo中的哪一个。选择将在所有观察点(Observation)的基础上进行,包括总体实施复杂度等。
-X在RAN1#87中确定,128 <= X <= 1024比特,须考虑复杂度。
-继续研究URLLC、mMTC以及控制信道的编码方式。
但是对于最终决定,最后一天的讨论中各厂家仍然有很多看法,因此,会议纪要中最终注明“RAN1仍鼓励大家对信道性能提供更多的观察和结论(Conclusion: RAN1 is still encouraged to strive to draw additional observations and conclusions on the performance of channel coding)。关于这部分的各厂家的意见和讨论过程,在会议纪要中有详细论述,感兴趣的话可以去下载查看。
