Inspired by the recent advances in deep learning (DL), this work presents a deep neural network aided decoding algorithm for binary linear codes. Based on the concept of deep unfolding, we design a decoding network by unfolding the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM)-penalized decoder. In addition, we propose two improv

Designing codes that combat the noise in a communication medium has remained a significant area of research in information theory as well as wireless communications. Asymptotically optimal channel codes have been developed by mathematicians for communicating under canonical models after over 60 years of research. On the other hand, in many non-canonical channel settings, optimal codes do not exist and the codes designed for canonical models are adapted via heuristics to these channels and are thus not guaranteed to be optimal. In this work, we make significant progress on this problem by designing a fully end-to-end jointly trained neural encoder and decoder, namely, Turbo Autoencoder (TurboAE), with the following contributions: ($a$) under moderate block lengths, TurboAE approaches state-of-the-art performance under canonical channels; ($b$) moreover, TurboAE outperforms the state-of-the-art codes under non-canonical settings in terms of reliability. TurboAE shows that the development of channel coding design can be automated via deep learning, with near-optimal performance.
We introduce a novel soft-aided hard-decision decoder for product codes adopting bit marking via updated reliabilities at each decoding iteration. Gains up to 0.8 dB vs. standard iterative bounded distance decoding and up to 0.3 dB vs. our previously proposed bit-marking decoder are demonstrated.
A deep-learning-aided successive-cancellation list (DL-SCL) decoding algorithm for polar codes is introduced with deep-learning-aided successive-cancellation (DL-SC) decoding being a specific case of it. The DL-SCL decoder works by allowing additional rounds of SCL decoding when the first SCL decoding attempt fails, using a novel bit-flipping metric. The proposed bit-flipping metric exploits the inherent relations between the information bits in polar codes that are represented by a correlation matrix. The correlation matrix is then optimized using emerging deep-learning techniques. Performance results on a polar code of length 128 with 64 information bits concatenated with a 24-bit cyclic redundancy check show that the proposed bit-flipping metric in the proposed DL-SCL decoder requires up to 66% fewer multiplications and up to 36% fewer additions, without any need to perform transcendental functions, and by providing almost the same error-correction performance in comparison with the state of the art.
High quality data is essential in deep learning to train a robust model. While in other fields data is sparse and costly to collect, in error decoding it is free to query and label thus allowing potential data exploitation. Utilizing this fact and inspired by active learning, two novel methods are introduced to improve Weighted Belief Propagation (WBP) decoding. These methods incorporate machine-learning concepts with error decoding measures. For BCH(63,36), (63,45) and (127,64) codes, with cycle-reduced parity-check matrices, improvement of up to 0.4dB at the waterfall region, and of up to 1.5dB at the errorfloor region in FER, over the original WBP, is demonstrated by smartly sampling the data, without increasing inference (decoding) complexity. The proposed methods constitutes an example guidelines for model enhancement by incorporation of domain knowledge from error-correcting field into a deep learning model. These guidelines can be adapted to any other deep learning based communication block.
The problem of low complexity, close to optimal, channel decoding of linear codes with short to moderate block length is considered. It is shown that deep learning methods can be used to improve a standard belief propagation decoder, despite the large example space. Similar improvements are obtained for the min-sum algorithm. It is also shown that tying the parameters of the decoders across iterations, so as to form a recurrent neural network architecture, can be implemented with comparable results. The advantage is that significantly less parameters are required. We also introduce a recurrent neural decoder architecture based on the method of successive relaxation. Improvements over standard belief propagation are also observed on sparser Tanner graph representations of the codes. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the neural belief propagation decoder can be used to improve the performance, or alternatively reduce the computational complexity, of a close to optimal decoder of short BCH codes.
