US Patent Issued to QUALCOMM on June 24 for "Linear-code-based probabilistic shaping" (California, New Jersey Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 25 -- United States Patent no. 12,341,607, issued on June 24, was assigned to QUALCOMM Inc. (San Diego).

"Linear-code-based probabilistic shaping" was invented by Wei Yang (San Diego), Jing Jiang (San Diego) and Thomas Joseph Richardson (South Orange, N.J.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A transmitter is provided that shapes uniformly-distributed bits into a non-uniformly distributed bits according to a parity check matrix of a linear code such that a product of the parity check matrix and the non-uniformly distributed bits equals the uniformly-distributed bits. Similarly, receiver is provided that recovers the uniformly-distributed bits from the non-uniformly distributed...
