Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Internet of things (IoT), which plays an important role in the next-generation wireless communication infrastructure, tends to use small packet size. Therefore, even if an error correction code designed for long code length such as low-density parity-check (LDPC) code is utilized for IoT, high error correction capability cannot be expected. This is why some configurations which deliberately do not use error-correcting codes are sometimes used in a standards, such as bluetooth low energy (BLE) 4.0. However, even in such configurations, the cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code is usually used to detect errors in the packets. Since a parity bit of about 24 bits is added to the information bit sequence of the CRC code, the coding rate will be higher when the information bit sequence length is very long. So, in general, the CRC code is not used as an error correction code. However, on the premise that IoT has a small packet size, it is possible to use error detecting code as error correction code. As the decoding method, belief propagation (BP) can be considered. Unfortunately, the parity check matrix contains many short cycles, so its decoding performance is not good. In this paper, we apply deep unfolding (DU), which is a kind of deep learning techniques, to BP based on the analogy between the belief propagation and the structure of the deep neural network, and clarify the improvement of decoding performance of DU-aided BP.
