Sliding Network Coding for URLLC
share
In this paper, we propose a network coding (NC) based approach to ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) over erasure channels. In transmitting multiple data packets, we demonstrate that the use of random NC can improve the reliability in terms of decoding error probability, while it incurs a longer decoding delay than a well-known K-repetition. To avoid a long decoding delay, we consider a sliding NC (SNC) design that allows a highly reliable transmission of each data packet with a guaranteed decoding delay. A few design examples are derived and their decoding error rates are analyzed. Through the analysis, we can show that the decoding error rate of SNC is much lower than that of K-repetition at the same spectral efficiency, which means a more reliable transmission can be achieved using SNC than K-repetition.
