Embodiments of this application relate to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a polar code encoding method and apparatus.
As the most fundamental wireless access technology, channel coding plays a key role in ensuring reliable transmission of data. In an existing wireless communications system, channel coding is usually performed by using a turbo code, a low-density parity-check (LDPC) code, and a polar code. The turbo code cannot support information transmission at an excessively low or excessively high bit rate. For medium/short packet transmission, due to encoding/decoding characteristics of the turbo code and the LDPC code, it is very difficult for the turbo code and the LDPC code to achieve ideal performance in a case of a limited code length. In terms of implementation, the turbo code and the LDPC code have relatively high computational complexity in an encoding/decoding implementation process. The polar code is a good code that has been theoretically proved to be able to achieve the Shannon capacity and has relatively low encoding/decoding complexity, and therefore is more widely applied.
However, with rapid evolution of wireless communications systems, future communications systems such as 5th generation (5G) communications systems will have some new characteristics. For example, three most typical communication scenarios include enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), massive machine type communications (mMTC), and ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC). The communications scenarios have higher requirements on encoding/decoding performance of the polar code.
Reliability ordering for polarized channels plays a key role in the encoding/decoding performance of the polar code. However, at present, accuracy of reliability ordering for polarized channels is not desirable, hindering further improvement of the encoding/decoding performance of the polar code during application.
Embodiments of this application provide a polar code encoding method and apparatus, to improve accuracy of reliability ordering for polarized channels.

The following describes in detail the embodiments of this application with reference to accompanying drawings.
The embodiments of this application provide a polar code encoding method and apparatus. A reliability order is obtained based on reliability of polarized channels, sequence numbers of polarized channels used to send information bits are selected based on the reliability order, and polar code encoding is performed based on the sequence numbers selected for the information bits. In the embodiments of this application, a reliability of each subchannel of a polar code can be calculated more accurately. The encoding method and apparatus provided in the embodiments of the present invention are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this application, the following describes the polar code briefly.
In an encoding scheme of the polar code, a noiseless channel is used to transmit information useful for a user, and a pure noisy channel is used to transmit agreed information or is not used to transmit information. The polar code is a linear block code, with its encoding matrix being GN and its encoding process being x1N=u1NGN, where u1N=(u1, u2, . . . , uN) is a binary row vector having a length of N (that is, code length), GN is an N×N matrix, and GN=F2⊗(log
In the encoding process of the polar code, some bits in u1N are used to carry information and are referred to as an information bit set, and an index set of the bits is denoted as . Other bits are set to fixed values pre-agreed on by a receive end and a transmit end and are referred to as a fixed bit set or a frozen bit set (frozen bits), and an index set of the other bits is represented by a complementary set c of . The encoding process of the polar code is equivalent to x1N=uAGN(A)⊕uA
A process of constructing the polar code, that is, a process of selecting the set , determines performance of the polar code. Usually, the process of constructing the polar code is: determining, based on a mother code length N, that there are a total of N polarized channels that respectively correspond to N rows of the encoding matrix, calculating reliability of the polarized channels, and using indexes of the first K polarized channels having relatively high reliability as elements of the set , and indexes that correspond to the remaining N−K polarized channels are used as elements of the index set c of the fixed bits. The set determines positions of the information bits, and the set c determines positions of the fixed bits. A sequence number of a polarized channel is an index of the position of an information bit or a fixed bit, that is, an index of a position in u1N.
The solutions provided in the embodiments of this application relate to how to determine reliability of a polarized channel. A basic invention idea of the embodiments of this application is that reliability of the polarized channel may be represented by using a reliability. From a perspective of spectral analysis of signals, an approximation of an existing reliability to the polarized channel reliability may be understood as domain transform of a signal. Similar to Fourier transform in which transformation between a time domain and a frequency domain of a signal is implemented by using a kernel ejw, in this method, a signal is transformed from a channel sequence number domain to a reliability weight domain by using a β kernel. In the signal time-frequency analysis field, Fourier transform and wavelet transform are most commonly used. For the Fourier transform, limited by a form of the trigonometric function kernel ejw, high time domain resolution and high frequency domain resolution cannot be achieved at the same time in a signal time-frequency analysis process. For the wavelet transform, because a wavelet kernel is used and there are various forms of functions, an instantaneous change of a signal in time domain can be captured when domain transform is performed, so that both high time domain resolution and high frequency domain resolution can be achieved. In the embodiments of this application, the polarized channel reliability is estimated by using a changeable transform kernel, so that accuracy of sequence reliability estimation is improved.

Based on the communications system architecture shown in
Step 201. Obtain a first sequence used to encode K to-be-encoded bits.
The first sequence includes sequence numbers of N polarized channels, the sequence numbers of the N polarized channels are arranged in the first sequence based on reliability of the N polarized channels, K is a positive integer, N is a mother code length of a polar code, and N is a positive integer power of 2.
Step 202. Sequence numbers of K polarized channels are selected from the first sequence in descending order of reliability.
Step 203. Place the to-be-encoded bits based on the selected sequence numbers of the K polarized channels, and perform polar code encoding on the to-be-encoded bits.
The K to-be-encoded bits are mapped to the K polarized channels in the N polarized channels. The reliability of the K polarized channels is higher than reliability of the remaining N−K polarized channels.
Optionally, the first sequence is all of or a subset of a second sequence, the second sequence includes sequence numbers of Nmax polarized channels, the sequence numbers of the Nmax polarized channels are arranged in the second sequence based on reliability of the Nmax polarized channels, that is, an order in which the sequence numbers of the polarized channels in the first sequence are arranged is consistent with an order in which sequence numbers less than N in the sequence numbers of the polarized channels in the second sequence are arranged. Nmax may be a positive integer power of 2 or may not be a positive integer power of 2, and Nmax≥N. A manner for calculating the reliability of the Nmax polarized channels is similar to that for calculating the reliability of the N polarized channels. The arrangement based on the reliability herein may be arrangement performed in ascending order of the reliability, or may be arrangement performed in descending order of the reliability. Alternatively, the sequence numbers of the polarized channels are grouped into two or more groups, and the sequence numbers in each group are arranged in descending order or ascending order of the reliability. A specific grouping manner may be grouping based on values of sequence numbers of polarized channels or grouping based on congruent sequence numbers (for example, three groups are divided, and sequence numbers that are congruent modulo 3 are grouped into one group). This is not specifically limited herein.
Optionally, rate matching is performed, based on a target code length, on a sequence obtained after the polar code encoding.
According to the encoding method provided in this embodiment, after input information bits are received, a quantity K of to-be-encoded bits is determined based on a target code length N of a polar code. Regardless of online calculation or a manner in which calculation and storage are performed in advance, if a second sequence is known, a first sequence may be obtained from the second sequence, and when Nmax=N, the second sequence is the first sequence. The second sequence includes an order of reliability of Nmax polarized channels, where Nmax is a maximum code length supported by a communications system. Optionally, the first sequence may be obtained from a pre-stored second sequence, then information bits are determined based on the first sequence, and finally polar encoding is performed on the K to-be-encoded bits, to obtain a bit sequence obtained after the polar encoding. Therefore, positions of the information bits and fixed bits are determined by obtaining a reliability of a polarized channel of a polar code through a combination of online calculation and offline storage.
The following specifically describes a sequence of sequence numbers of polarized channels that is obtained through arrangement based on a reliability of an ith polarized channel in N (or Nmax) polarized channels. The sequence numbers of the N polarized channels may be 0 to N−1, or may be 1 to N. In this embodiment of this application, when the reliability of the ith polarized channel of the N polarized channels is determined, a value of i may be 1, 2, . . . , and N, or may be 0, 1, . . . , and N−1.
It may be understood that formulas used in the embodiments of this application are merely examples. Any solution that may be obtained by persons skilled in the art by making simple variations to the formulas without affecting performance of the formulas shall fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.
For specific sequence examples, refer to the following six groups of sequences found based on different criteria. The second sequence may be part or all of any sequence shown in Sequence Q1 to Sequence Q30. These sequences may also be represented by using corresponding tables Table Q1 to Table Q30. “Reliability or sequence number of reliability” is a natural sequence of reliability in ascending order, and “polarized channel sequence number” is polarized channel sequence numbers in corresponding sequences. Herein, “part of” has three different meanings:
These sequences may also be represented by using Z sequences, that is, an order of reliability of polarized channels that corresponds to a natural order of polarized channel sequence number is used as a Z sequence. To be specific, the second sequence may be part or all of any sequence shown in Sequence Z1 to Sequence Z30. Likewise, the Z sequences may also be represented by using corresponding tables Table Z1 to Table Z30, where the polarized channel sequence numbers are sequentially arranged in ascending order, and “reliability or sequence number of reliability” is a sequence number of ordering of a reliability of a polarized channel that corresponds to the polarized channel sequence number.
For example, an xth Q sequence is Sequence Qx and Table Qx, and Sequence Qx is equivalent to Table Qx. Corresponding Z sequences are Sequence Zx and Table Zx, and Sequence Zx is equivalent to Table Zx, where x=1, 2, . . . , and 30.

It should be noted that, the foregoing sequences are merely some examples. Use of the foregoing sequences in a polar code encoding process helps improve encoding/decoding performance of a polar code. In any one of the sequences described, adjustments or equivalent replacements in the following aspects may be made without affecting an overall effect.
1. Positions of a small quantity of elements in a sequence are interchanged. For example, a position of a sequence number may be adjusted within a specified range. For example, the specified range is 5, and a position of an element whose sequence number is 10 may be adjusted within five positions to the left or right.
2. Some of the elements in the sequence are adjusted, but channel sets for transmitting T bit information that are selected based on the sequence are consistent or similar.
3. The sequence includes N elements starting from 0 and ending with N−1, and the N elements starting from 0 and ending with N−1 represent sequence numbers of N polarized channels. Actually, the sequence numbers of the N polarized channels may also start from 1 and end with N. This can be achieved by adding 1 to each sequence number in the foregoing sequence, and this is also a sequence number form in the foregoing calculation manners. Certainly, the sequence number or an identifier of the foregoing polarized channel may also be represented by using another manner. The specific representation manner does not affect a specific position of a polarized channel in a sequence;
4. The sequence numbers of the N polarized channels in the foregoing sequence are arranged in ascending order of the reliability of the N polarized channels. In this case, selecting K polarized channels in descending order of reliability is selecting polarized channels that correspond to the last K sequence numbers in any of the foregoing sequences. Actually, the sequence numbers of the N polarized channels may also be arranged in descending order of the reliability of the N polarized channels. This can be achieved by arranging the elements in the foregoing sequence in a reverse or inverted order. In this case, selecting K polarized channels in descending order of reliability is selecting polarized channels that correspond to the first K sequence numbers; and
5. The foregoing sequences may further be represented by using a normalized reliability or an equivalent reliability of each channel. For example, if a sequential position of a channel x in the foregoing sequence is n (a leftmost position is denoted as 1), a reliability of the channel may be represented as n or normalized n/N, where N is a length of the sequence.
