Abstract
Ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) is an important feature brought by 5G New Radio (NR). By using a block code, the low-latency requirement in general requires a short block length in order to reduce the latency of transmitting the entire code block. The ultra-reliable communication requires a low-rate code to achieve high decoding reliability even under low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). This paper proposes a new class of coding and modulation schemes, termed permutation-coded modulations, for low-rate and short-block-length applications, such as URLLC. We show that permutation-coded modulations under maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding have remarkable performance levels that achieve the dispersion bounds with normal approximation (NA) for short block lengths. However, their encoding and ML-decoding complexities are prohibitive if the number of message bits transmitted per code block increases. To reduce the encoding and decoding complexities, we propose a trapezoidal permutation-coded modulation scheme which can be decoded efficiently by successive cancellation list (SCL) decoders. We also show that the trapezoidal permutation-coded modulations under SCL decoding can achieve the dispersion bounds with NA for short block lengths.
