Description

译码方法、译码装置及译码器 技术领域
本公开涉及但不限于无线通信领域,具体而言,涉及一种译码方法、译码装置及译码器。
背景技术
随着多媒体广播、无线通信、超大规模集成电路(Very Large Scale Integration,VLSI)技术的不断发展,低密度奇偶校验码(Low Density Parity Check,LDPC)作为最接近香农极限的前向纠错编码已经被广泛应用在数字视频广播(Digital Video Broadcast,DVB)、无线局域网(Wireless Local Area Network,WLAN)、全球互通微波接入(Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access,WiMAX)等通信标准中,而且首次被选为5G移动通信系统中增强型移动宽带业务(enhance Mobile Broadband,eMBB)的数据信道编码方案。面临着未来5G(Generation)移动通信系统中大容量、低时延、高可靠的业务需求,以及各种不同的应用场景需求,设计高性能、低成本、灵活的LDPC译码器成为无线通信领域主要的技术挑战。
灵活性方面,在5G移动通信系统的数据业务信道中,数据业务的码长灵活多变。码长包括长码和短码。根据3GPP TS 38.212 Release15协议,5G基带信道编码采用准循环LDPC码(Quasi Cyclic Low Density Parity Check,QC-LDPC)编码方式,需要兼容多达51种扩展因子、2种基础矩阵。这为LDPC译码器的灵活性设计带来很大难度。
成本方面,LDPC译码器的并行度决定资源消耗。基于“块并行”架构的译码器并行度与所支持的扩展因子成正比。为了支持5G标准中最大扩展因子,译码器并行度通常很大,导致单个译码器资源消耗较大。这样,在一些硬件资源和成本受限,流量需求较小的应用场景中,如:智能终端、物联网(Internet of Things,IoT)等场景,就会造成译码 器的性能过剩,硬件资源浪费,性价比低。因此,需要设计并行度小、资源消耗少的LDPC译码器。
性能方面,目前在业界LDPC译码器大多采用基于分层译码(Layered-decoding)方法的“块并行”架构实现,采用该方法及架构方案所设计的译码器峰值吞吐率性能有限。在大流量、低时延需求的应用场景下时,如:需要支持多小区、多载波、多用户设备(User Equipment,UE)的无线通信基站设备,译码流量需求可能达到10Gbps以上。此时,无论是基于数字信号处理(Digital Signal Processing,DSP)、现场可编程门阵列(Field Programmable Gate Array,FPGA)、图形处理器(Graphics Processing Unit,GPU),还是专用集成电路(Application Specific Integrated Circuit,ASIC)芯片所设计的译码器,其单核处理能力基本难以满足系统系能需求,需要多核并行加速。

具体实施方式
下文中将参考附图并结合实施例来详细说明本公开。需要说明的是,在不冲突的情况下,本申请中的实施例及实施例中的特征可以相互组合。
根据本公开的一个实施例的译码的方法,提供了可变并行度的LDPC译码器设计,避免因译码器并行度过大带来的硬件资源消耗大、难以灵活应用的问题,有效提高了LDPC译码器在不同场景应用的灵 活性,能够降低译码器的资源消耗。
图1是根据本公开实施例的译码的流程图,如图1所示,该流程包括如下步骤:
步骤S102,设置译码器的并行度P,并根据所述并行度P对待译码块的软信息进行信息拆分;
步骤S104,根据所述拆分信息对所述待译码块进行译码计算,并输出译码后的硬比特信息;以及
步骤S106,根据所述并行度P将所述硬比特信息进行信息重组。
在上述实施例中,译码器的并行度P,可以根据不同的应用场景、数据业务对译码器的吞吐量、时延等指标要求,以及根据用户可接受的硬件资源或芯片面积等成本花费,由用户合理选择设置,且P≤Max(Z set),即P小于或等于所支持的LDPC码的扩展因子集Z set中的最大扩展因子。
在步骤S102进行待译码软信息拆分。根据并行度P以及待译码块CB(Code Block)的扩展因子Z,将输入的待译码块CB的软信息按照一定规则进行信息拆分。信息拆分主要是将一个CB中的所有大小为Z的“块”信息都拆分为T个“子块”信息。在下文中将会详细描述信息拆分原理。
在步骤S104进行译码计算。译码计算过程是在“分层译码”方法的基础上,在每层的译码计算过程中又进行了分时,即“分层-分时译码”。“分层译码”是在每层的译码计算过程中对每个大小为Z的“块”信息全并行处理,“块”与“块”之间依次串行流水处理。“分层-分时译码”是将每个大小为Z的“块”信息拆分为T个“子块”信息。在每层的译码计算过程中对“子块”信息进行并行处理,“子块”与“子块”之间串行流水处理,分T次完成一层的译码。也就是说,将每层中的Z个校验行分成T份,分T次以分时方式完成Z个校验行的译码计算;如果T等于1,则对每个“块”信息进行译码,即以全并行方式,一次 完成Z个校验行的译码计算;如果T大于1,则对每个“子块”信息进行译码,即以部分并行方式,每次完成Z/T个校验行的计算,分T次完成一层Z个校验行的计算;完成一层译码计算后进行下一层译码计算。
在步骤S106进行译码后硬比特信息重组。根据并行度P以及待译码CB块的扩展因子Z,将译码后输出的硬比特信息进行信息重组,译码后的硬比特信息重组是译码前软信息拆分的逆过程,将每个硬比特“子块”信息重组为对应的硬比特“块”信息,再将“块”信息以CB块方式输出。在下文中将会详细描述信息重组原理。
通过以上的实施方式的描述,本领域的技术人员可以清楚地了解到根据上述实施例的方法可借助软件加必需的通用硬件平台的方式来实现。当然也可以通过硬件实现。基于这样的理解,本公开的技术方案本质上或者说对现有技术做出贡献的部分可以以软件产品的形式体现出来。
在本公开的一个实施例中还提供了一种译码装置,该装置用于实现上述实施例及优选实施方式,已经进行过说明的不再赘述。如以下所使用的,术语“模块”可以实现预定功能的软件和/或硬件的组合。尽管以下实施例所描述的装置较佳地以软件来实现,但是硬件,或者软件和硬件的组合的实现也是可能并被构想的。
图2是根据本公开实施例的译码装置的结构框图,如图2所示,该译码装置包括信息拆分模块10、译码模块20和信息重组模块30。
信息拆分模块10,被构造成设置译码器的并行度P,并根据所述并行度P对待译码块的软信息进行信息拆分。
译码模块20,被构造成根据所述拆分信息对所述待译码块进行译码计算,并输出译码后的硬比特信息。
信息重组模块30,被构造成根据所述并行度P将所述硬比特信息进行信息重组。
需要说明的是,上述各个模块是可以通过软件或硬件来实现的。在硬件的情况下,可以通过以下方式实现,但不限于此:上述模块均 位于同一处理器中;或者,上述各个模块以任意组合的形式分别位于不同的处理器中。
本公开的实施例还提供了一种译码器,该译码器包括上述译码装置和必要的存储部件。该译码器可以为一种结构化的准循环低密度奇偶校验码(QC-LDPC,Quasi-Cyclic Low Density Parity-check Code)译码器。

实施例1
下面结合实施例1详细描述本公开的译码实现过程。为便于方案描述,首先定义相关符号含义如下:
P:所设计译码器的硬件并行度;
Z set:所设计译码器支持的扩展因子集;
Z:待译码码块实际所采用的扩展因子,Z∈Z set
T:待译码码块的译码分时数,即分时数;
t:待译码码块的译码分时索引号,0≤t≤T-1;
L:待译码码块所采用基础矩阵行数,或层数;
l:待译码码块的译码层索引,0≤l≤L-1;
K:待译码码块所采用基础矩阵列数;
k:待译码码块的译码列索引,0≤k≤K-1;
S l,k:待译码码块基础矩阵的l行k列所对应移位值;
Figure PCTCN2019117991-appb-000001
待译码码块基础矩阵的l行k列t分时所对应的分时移位值;
QC-LDPC码是结构化LDPC码中的一类重要码型,其编码矩阵一般用一个L行(层)、K列的基础矩阵H(L×K)和一个扩展因子Z来表示。基础矩阵中的非“-1”元素用Z维单位阵或其循环移位矩阵代替, 循环移位矩阵的移位值即为该元素值,基础矩阵中的“-1”元素用Z×Z维的0阵代替。这样,利用Z×Z维“子矩阵”对基础矩阵进行扩展后得到的矩阵H(L*Z×K*Z)共有L×Z行和K×Z列,扩展后的矩阵共有L层,每层Z个校验行,并作为QC-LDPC码的编码矩阵。同样,译码也使用该矩阵进行译码和校验。
在本实施例中,译码过程主要包括信息拆分、译码计算和信息重组。下面各个过程进行详细描述。
信息拆分:
待译码CB块软信息C=[B 0,B 1,B 2,...,B K-1],包含K个“块”B k,每个“块”包含Z个软信息Q,即
Figure PCTCN2019117991-appb-000002
且与基础矩阵H(L×K)的第k列“子矩阵”(或第k变量节点)对应。
译码前需要根据所设译码器并行度P以及待译码CB块所配置扩展因子Z对每个“块”进行拆分。该拆分方法的关键在于:采用该拆分方法对“块”拆分后得到的每个“子块”仍满足循环移位特性。“块”拆分步骤包括:首先,确定译码分时数T,T为可以整除Z且不小于(Z/P)的最小正整数;然后,将每个“块”B k都拆分为T个“子块”

实施例2
实施例2提供了一种实现上述译码过程的译码器,图3为本实施例的译码器结构框图。如图3所示,该译码器包括:信息拆分模块10、译码模块20和信息重组模块30。信息拆分模块10完成译码前的软信息拆分功能。译码模块20完成“分层-分时译码”迭代计算功能。信息重组模块30完成译码后的硬比特信息的重组输出。信息拆分模块和信息重组模块可以位于译码装置内部,也可以位于译码装置外部。
信息拆分模块10的一种具体实施方式如图4所示。该模块首先根据预设译码器并行度P,待译码CB块的扩展因子Z,计算得到可采用的译码分时数T。分时数T也可以在译码器外部计算好后通过参数配置得到。获得参数T后,首先根据扩展因子Z在CB块信息存储空间中依 次提取每个“块”信息,每个“块”信息以固定的存储位宽、连续存储在存储空间中,因此在信息拆分之前需要进行“块”信息的提取。得到整个“块”信息后根据分时数T对其进行拆分得到T个“子块”信息,并根据“子块”索引号分别存储在“子块”信息存储空间的不同地址区间,依次完成每个“块”信息的拆分和“子块”信息的存储。
译码模块20的一种可选的结构示意图如图5所示,包括:译码控制模块201,软信息存储模块202、正移位模块203、计算模块204、反移位模块205、硬判决模块206、硬比特信息存储模块207和校验模块208。每个模块根据本模块所需要的参数信息完成对输入到本模块的数据信息的存储、处理、计算等功能。
图6为译码模块的译码流程示意图,如图6所示,采用循环嵌套的方式,启动第i次译码迭代、第一层译码计算以及第t次分时译码计算。先完成第一层的所有T次分时译码,然后进行第二层的译码计算,直到完成所有L层的译码计算。然后,通过判断是否译码成功及译码迭代次数来结束循环。在一个示例性实施例中,第t次分时译码计算包括如下步骤:
步骤1,进行先验信息寻址,计算子移位值;
步骤2,根据子移位值对对应的先验信息进行正循环移位;
步骤3,利用移位后的先验信息减去旧的校验节点信息计算变量节点信息,其中首次迭代校验节点信息初始化为0;
步骤4,计算校验节点信息,利用步骤3得到的变量节点信息计算新校验节点信息,同时用新校验节点信息更细旧校验节点信息;
步骤5,计算后验信息,利用步骤3得到的变量节点信息加步骤4得到的新校验节点信息,得到后验信息;
步骤6,根据子移位值对步骤5得到的后验信息进行逆循环移位;
步骤7,利用步骤6得到的移位后的后验信息更新先验信息。
在步骤7后,判断是否达到最大的分时数T,根据判断进行下一次分时译码或下一层第1次分时译码。这里,下一次分时译码或下一 层的分时译码过程与上述译码过程相同,在此不累述。
一方面,软信息存储模块202被构造成:接收信息拆分模块输出的新的待译码CB块信息,每个CB块都是信息拆分后的以“子块”信息存储格式存储的。另一方面,软信息存储模块202被构造成:接收反移位模块输出的当前正在译码的CB块的后验信息,对每次迭代更新的后验信息数据进存储备份。新CB和正在译码CB采用“乒乓”方式进行切换。另外,软信息存储模块202还根据控制模块201输出的读写地址信息,对待译码的先验信息进行读取输出,对新计算输出的后验信息进行存储更新。软信息存储模块202的存储位宽由预设的译码器并行度决定。
正移位模块203和反移位模块205可以分设,也可以合设。一种可选的方案是采用QSN(QC-LDPC Shift Network)移位网络来实现,QSN移位网络的优点是可以对不同大小的“子块”信息进行循环移位。正移位模块203和反移位模块205根据由译码控制模块201输入的移位值信息,对输入的待移位的“子块”信息进行相应的移位并输出。正移位模块203和反移位模块205根据预设并行度P,采用P输入P输出的移位网络。
计算模块204被构造成:根据输入的先验信息,计算变量节点信息、校验节点信息、后验信息,输出后验信息,并根据预设并行度P进行并行计算和存储。图7为计算模块的一种可选的结构示意图,如图7所示,该计算模块包括:P个并行的变量节点计算单元、P个并行的校验节点计算单元、P个并行的后验信息计算单元,以及并行度为P的变量节点存储单元和校验节点存储单元。
变量节点计算单元被构造成:通过输入的先验信息减去旧的校验节点信息计算变量节点信息,其中首次迭代计算过程中旧校验节点信息初始化为0。根据译码器并行度P,最多采用P个变量节点计算单元并行完成每个“子块”信息对应的变量节点信息的计算。
校验节点计算单元被构造成:根据输入的变量节点信息计算对应 的新的校验节点信息,其中新的校验节点信息的计算可以采用但不限于最小和(MS,Min-Sum)算法、归一化最小和(NMS,Normalised Offset)算法、偏移量最小和(OMS,Offset Min-Sum)算法中的一种或其他算法。根据译码器并行度P,最多采用P个校验节点计算单元并行完成每个“子块”信息对应的校验节点信息的计算。
后验信息计算单元被构造成:通过输入的变量节点信息加上新的校验节点信息计算后验信息。根据译码器并行度P,最多采用P个后验信息计算单元并行完成每个“子块”信息对应的后验信息的计算。
变量节点信息存储单元被构造成:对变量节点计算单元输出的变量节点信息进行存储,并将相应的变量节点信息输出给后验信息计算单元进行后验信息的计算。根据译码器并行度P,最多P个变量节点计算单元输出的变量节点数据并行存储在同一个地址,其存储位宽要保证P个变量节点数据能够并行写入或读出。
校验节点信息存储单元被构造成:将相应的旧校验节点信息输出给变量节点计算单元进行变量节点信息的计算,其中第一次译码迭代计算旧校验节点信息初始化为0。校验节点信息存储单元还被构造成:,利用本次译码迭代的校验节点计算单元输出的新校验节点信息对上一次迭代缓存的旧校验节点信息进行更新。根据译码器并行度P,最多P个校验节点计算单元输出的校验节点数据并行存储在同一个地址,其存储位宽要保证P个校验节点数据能够并行写入或读出。
硬判决模块206被构造成:对反移位模块输出的后验信息进行硬判决。硬判决过程是将以软信息形式表示的后验信息硬判决为硬比特信息。一种可选的实施方案是对软信息进行符号函数计算,即取软信息的符号位得到硬比特信息。根据译码器预设并行度P,硬判决模块支持并行度为P的符号计算。
硬比特信息存储模块207被构造成:对连续两次译码迭代输出的硬判决信息进行缓存。例如,本次迭代输出的硬判决结果与前一次迭代的硬判决结果进行乒乓缓存。一方面,硬判决存储模块在本次迭代 过程中对本次迭代输出的硬判决结果进行缓存。另一方面,在本次迭代计算的同时输出前一次迭代的硬判决结果,分别到校验模块和信息重组模块。校验模块对前一次迭代的硬判决结果进行校验;而信息重组模块对前一次迭代的硬判结果进行缓存备份。若校验模块校验通过,则对前一次迭代的硬判决结果进行信息重组并输出,否则释放前一次迭代硬判决结果的缓存。根据译码器并行度P,硬比特信息存储模块的存储位宽为P,深度能够乒乓存储两个最大硬比特CB块。
校验模块208被构造成:对一次迭代译码后硬判决结果进行校验,判断是否满足终止迭代译码的条件,若满足则输出译码终止信号,否则不输出,继续下一次迭代。译码迭代终止条件包括但不限于如下:1)H矩阵奇偶校验通过;2)CRC校验通过;3)H矩阵奇偶校验和CRC校验同时通过;4)满足最小迭代次数且达到最大迭代次数,等等。图8为本公开实施例的译码校验流程图。
信息重组模块30被构造成:根据预设译码器并行度P,待译码CB块的扩展因子Z,计算得到可采用的译码分时数T。在一个可选实施例中,分时数T也可以在译码器外部计算好后通过参数配置得到。图9为信息重组可采用的一种可选的实施方式,如图9所示,重组模块获得参数T后,在硬比特“子块”信息存储空间中索引读取属于同一“块”H k的所有“子块”信息
Figure PCTCN2019117991-appb-000049
