Signal quality input for error-detection codes in 5G and 6G

Non-transitory computer-readable media in a wireless receiver, the media containing instructions that, when executed by a computing environment, cause a method to be performed, the method comprising:

• a) receiving a message comprising message elements, each message element occupying exactly one resource element of a resource grid, each message element comprising a waveform signal modulated according to a modulation scheme;
• b) determining, according to an error-detection code associated with the message, that the message is corrupted;
• c) for each message element, determining a signal quality according to the waveform signal;
• and
• d) for each message element, determining, according to the signal quality, whether the message element is likely faulted.

A method comprising:

• a) receiving, by a wireless receiver, a message comprising multiple subcarriers of a particular symbol-time of a resource grid, each subcarrier containing a waveform signal modulated according to a modulation scheme;
• b) receiving, by the wireless receiver, an error-detection code associated with the message;
• c) determining, according to the error-detection code, that the wireless message comprises at least one fault;
• d) determining, for each subcarrier, according to the waveform signal of the subcarrier, a distribution of amplitudes of the waveform signal versus time;
• e) determining, for each subcarrier, a width of the distribution of amplitudes;
• f) determining, for each subcarrier, according to the width of the distribution of amplitudes, whether the waveform signal of the subcarrier is likely faulted;
• g) determining, according to the error-detection code, for each likely faulted waveform signal, a corrected modulation value;
• and
• h) determining whether the message, including the corrected modulation value or values, agrees with the error-detection code.
