BIT ALLOCATIONS FOR MULTI-LEVEL CODING IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. In some examples, a device may compute the coding rate associated with each coding level of coded modulation scheme based on one or more channel conditions of a wireless channel. The device may allocate multiple information bits among multiple coding schemes associated with a multi-level coding scheme. The quantity of information bits allocated to each coding scheme may be based on the coding rates associated with one or more coding levels corresponding to the coding scheme. The device may encode an information payload using the multiple coding schemes in accordance with the allocation of the multiple information bits. The device may transmit the encoded information payload via the wireless channel. The receiving device may compute the coding rate associated with each coding level of the multi-level coding scheme and allocate the information bits accordingly. The receiving device may decode the payload.
