Recover bits from DMG Header field

## Syntax

``[headerBits,failHCS] = wlanDMGHeaderBitRecover(rxHeader,noiseVarEst,cfgDMG)``
``[headerBits,failHCS] = wlanDMGHeaderBitRecover(rxHeader,noiseVarEst,csi,cfgDMG)``
``[headerBits,failHCS] = wlanDMGHeaderBitRecover(___,Name,Value) ``

## Description

example

````[headerBits,failHCS] = wlanDMGHeaderBitRecover(rxHeader,noiseVarEst,cfgDMG)` recovers `headerBits`, a column vector of bits, from `rxHeader`, the DMG Header field of a directional multi-gigaqbit (DMG) transmission. The function recovers `headerBits` by using noise variance estimate `noiseVarEst` and DMG transmission parameters `cfgDMG`.The function also returns `failHCS`, the result of the header check sequence (HCS) on the recovered bits.```

example

````[headerBits,failHCS] = wlanDMGHeaderBitRecover(rxHeader,noiseVarEst,csi,cfgDMG)` enhances the demapping of OFDM subcarriers by using channel state information `csi`. Use this syntax for DMG transmissions that use an orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) PHY configuration.```

example

````[headerBits,failHCS] = wlanDMGHeaderBitRecover(___,Name,Value) ` specifies algorithm options by using one or more name-value pair arguments, in addition to any input argument combination from previous syntaxes. For example, `'LDPCDecodingMethod','layered-bp'` specifies the layered belief propagation low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoding algorithm.```

### DMG Header Field

In the DMG format, the DMG Header field is different in size and content for each supported PHY modulation scheme. This field contains additional information for the receiver. The total size of the DMG Header field is 40 bits for control PHY configurations and 64 bits for SC and OFDM PHY configurations.

These fields are common for the three PHY modes.

• Scrambler initialization — Specifies the initial state for the scrambler

• MCS — Specifies the MCS for the DMG Data field (not present in control PHY)

• Length — Specifies the length of the data field

• Packet Type — Specifies whether the beamforming training field is intended for the receiver or the transmitter

• Training Length — Specifies the presence of a beamforming training field, and, if present, the length of the field

• HCS — Provides a checksum per CRC for the header.

IEEE 802.11ad™-2012 specifies the detailed aspects of the DMG header field structure. In particular, the PHY modulation-specific aspects of the header field are specified in these sections.

• The DMG control PHY header structure is specified in Section 21.4.3.2.

• The DMG OFDM PHY header structure is specified in Section 21.5.3.1.

• The DMG SC PHY header structure is specified in Section 21.6.3.1.

## Algorithms

collapse all

This function supports these four LDPC decoding algorithms.

### Belief Propagation Decoding

The function implements the BP algorithm based on the decoding algorithm presented in . For transmitted LDPC-encoded codeword $c=\left({c}_{0},{c}_{1},\dots ,{c}_{n-1}\right)$, the input to the LDPC decoder is the log-likelihood ratio (LLR) given by

.

In each iteration, the function updates the key components of the algorithm based on these equations:

$L\left({r}_{ji}\right)=2\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\text{atanh}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}\left(\prod _{{i}^{\prime }\in {V}_{j}\\left\{i\right\}}\mathrm{tanh}\left(\frac{1}{2}L\left({q}_{{i}^{\prime }j}\right)\right)\right)$,

$L\left({q}_{ij}\right)=L\left({c}_{i}\right)+\sum _{j\text{'}\in {C}_{i}\\left\{j\right\}}L\left({r}_{{j}^{\prime }i}\right)$, initialized as $L\left({q}_{ij}\right)=L\left({c}_{i}\right)$ before the first iteration, and

$L\left({Q}_{i}\right)=L\left({c}_{i}\right)+\sum _{{j}^{\prime }\in {C}_{i}}L\left({r}_{{j}^{\prime }i}\right)$.

At the end of each iteration, $L\left({Q}_{i}\right)$ is an updated estimate of the LLR value for the transmitted bit, ${c}_{i}$. The value $L\left({Q}_{i}\right)$ is the soft-decision output for ${c}_{i}$. If $L\left({Q}_{i}\right)$ is negative, the hard-decision output for ${c}_{i}$ is 1. Otherwise, the output is 0.

Index sets ${C}_{i}\\left\{j\right\}$ and ${V}_{j}\\left\{i\right\}$ are based on the PCM such that the sets ${C}_{i}$ and ${V}_{j}$ correspond to all nonzero elements in column i and row j of the PCM, respectively.

This figure demonstrates how to compute these index sets for PCM $H$ for the case i = 5 and j = 3. To avoid infinite numbers in the algorithm equations, atanh(1) and atanh(–1) are set to 19.07 and –19.07, respectively. Due to finite precision, MATLAB® returns 1 for tanh(19.07) and –1 for tanh(–19.07).

When you specify the `'``EarlyTermination``'` name-value pair argument as `0` (`false`), the decoding terminates after the number of iterations specified by the `'``MaximumLDPCIterationCount``'` name-value pair argument. When you specify the `'``EarlyTermination``'` name-value pair argument as `1` (`true`), the decoding terminates when all parity checks are satisfied ($H{c}^{T}=0$) or after the number of iterations specified by the `'``MaximumLDPCIterationCount``'` name-value pair argument.

### Layered Belief Propagation Decoding

The function implements the layered BP algorithm based on the decoding algorithm presented in Section II.A of . The decoding loop iterates over subsets of rows (layers) of the PCM.

For each row, m, in a layer and each bit index, j, the implementation updates the key components of the algorithm based on these equations.

(1) $L\left({q}_{mj}\right)=L\left({q}_{j}\right)-{R}_{mj}$

(2) $\Psi \left(x\right)=\mathrm{log}\left(|\mathrm{tanh}\left(x/2\right)|\right)$

(3) ${A}_{mj}=\sum _{n\in N\left(m\right)\\left\{j\right\}}\Psi \left(L\left({q}_{mn}\right)\right)$

(4) ${s}_{mj}=\prod _{n\in N\left(m\right)\\left\{j\right\}}\mathrm{sgn}\left(L\left({q}_{mn}\right)\right)$

(5) ${R}_{mj}=-{s}_{mj}\Psi \left({A}_{mj}\right)$

(6) $L\left({q}_{j}\right)=L\left({q}_{mj}\right)+{R}_{mj}$

For each layer, the decoding equation (6) works on the combined input obtained from the current LLR inputs, $L\left({q}_{mj}\right)$, and the previous layer updates, ${R}_{mj}$.

Because the layered BP algorithm updates only a subset of the nodes in a layer, this algorithm is faster than the BP algorithm. To achieve the same error rate as attained with BP decoding, use half the number of decoding iterations when using the layered BP algorithm.

### Normalized Min-Sum Decoding

The function implements the normalized min-sum decoding algorithm by following the layered BP algorithm with equation (3) replaced by

${A}_{mj}={\mathrm{min}}_{n\in N\left(m\right)\\left\{j\right\}}\left(\alpha |L\left({q}_{mn}\right)|\right)$,

where α is the scaling factor specified by the `'``MinSumScalingFactor``'` name-value pair argument. This equation is an adaptation of equation (4) presented in .

### Offset Min-Sum Decoding

The function implements the offset min-sum decoding algorithm by following the layered BP algorithm with equation (3) replaced by

,

where β is the offset specified by the `'``MinSumOffset``'` name-value pair argument. This equation is an adaptation of equation (5) presented in .
