Polar codes with a cross-referenceable nested structure for hierarchical signaling

摘要

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication employing polar code techniques are described. In some examples, polar codes with a cross-referenceable nested structure for hierarchical signaling may be used in a wireless communication system. For example, a user equipment may monitor a common portion and a dedicated portion of a control channel, the common portion assigned to a first set of control channel resources and the dedicated portion assigned to a second set of control channel resources within the control channel. The UE may concatenate, based at least in part on the monitoring, information fields of one or more symbols received via the first and second sets of control channel resources to form a polar-encoded codeword. The UE may decode the polar-encoded codeword to obtain common information from the common portion and dedicated information from the dedicated portion.
