To meet the Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communication (URLLC) needs of modern applications, there have been significant advances in the development of short error correction codes and corresponding soft detection decoders. A substantial hindrance to delivering low-latency is, however, the reliance on interleaving to break up omnipresent channel correlations to ensure that decoder input matches decoder assumptions. Consequently, even when using short codes, the need to wait to interleave data at the sender and de-interleave at the receiver results in significant latency that acts contrary to the goals of URLLC. Moreover, interleaving reduces channel capacity, so that potential decoding performance is degraded. Here we introduce a variant of Ordered Reliability Bits Guessing Random Additive Noise Decoding (ORBGRAND), which we call ORBGRAND-Approximate Independence (ORBGRAND-AI), a soft-detection decoder that can decode any moderate redundancy code and overcomes the limitation of existing decoding paradigms by leveraging channel correlations and circumventing the need for interleaving. By leveraging correlation, not only is latency reduced, but error correction performance can be enhanced by multiple dB, while decoding complexity is also reduced, offering one potential solution for the provision of URLLC.
