Hierarchical coding scheme

A wireless communication device for wireless communication, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors, coupled to the memory, configured to:
• receive an encoded communication, the encoded communication being encoded with a hierarchical coding scheme comprising:
• first layer code blocks including pairs of information bits and sets of first parity bits, and
• second layer code blocks including sets of second parity bits, with each set of the second parity bits associated with a subset of the first layer code blocks;
• and
• decode the encoded communication based at least in part on one or more of the sets of the second parity bits that are associated with one or more of the first layer code blocks determined to have failed decoding based at least in part on one or more associated sets of the first parity bits.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions for wireless communication, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless communication device, cause the wireless communication device to:
• receive an encoded communication, the encoded communication being encoded with a hierarchical coding scheme comprising:
• first layer code blocks including pairs of information bits and sets of first parity bits, and
• second layer code blocks including sets of second parity bits, with each set of the second parity bits associated with a subset of the first layer code blocks;
• and
• decode the encoded communication based at least in part on one or more of the sets of the second parity bits that are associated with one or more of the first layer code blocks determined to have failed decoding based at least in part on one or more associated sets of the first parity bits.

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• means for receiving an encoded communication, the encoded communication being encoded with a hierarchical coding scheme comprising:
• first layer code blocks including pairs of information bits and sets of first parity bits, and
• second layer code blocks including sets of second parity bits, with each set of the second parity bits associated with a subset of the first layer code blocks;
• and
• means for decoding the encoded communication based at least in part on one or more of the sets of the second parity bits that are associated with one or more of the first layer code blocks determined to have failed decoding based at least in part on one or more associated sets of the first parity bits.
