ALEXANDRIA, Va., Oct. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,438,636, issued on Oct. 7, was assigned to QUALCOMM Inc. (San Diego).

"Dynamic frozen polar codes for probabilistic shaping" was invented by Wei Yang (San Diego), Kirill Ivanov (La Jolla, Calif.) and Jing Jiang (San Diego).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Dynamic frozen polar codes for probabilistic shaping are described. An apparatus is configured to map transmission bits to an EC-polar code. The transmission bits include first data bits, second data bits, EC bits, and shaping bits. The first data bits correspond to frozen bit locations of the EC-polar code, the shaping bits correspond to information bit locations of the EC-polar code, and ...
