Patent attributes
The technology relates to bandwidth constrained communication systems with neural network based detection. In some embodiments, a bandwidth constrained equalized transport (BCET) communication system comprises: a transmitter comprising an error control code encoder, a pulse-shaping filter, and a first interleaver; a communication channel; and a receiver comprising a neural network processing block that processes a received signal. The error control code encoder can append redundant information onto the signal. The pulse-shaping filter can intentionally introduce memory into the signal in the form of inter-symbol interference. The first interleaver can change a temporal order of the symbols in the signal. The error control code encoder can be a low-density parity-check (LDPC) error control code encoder. The neural network can be trained with positive mappings between transmitted and decoded training signals, or negative mappings between training signals and a null space of an LDPC generation matrix.
