US 12,469,507 B2 · Predictive context-based decoder correction

Abstract

Methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums utilizing context information to create decoding feedback information to improve decoder accuracy and/or performance. In some examples, the context information is from layers of a network stack above the layers in which the decoders are present. The context information may be or be based upon information about previously received and decoded data and/or information about the sender to provide decoding feedback information to the decoder that is used either to correct a previous decoding error or to inform the decoder on which of a plurality of decoding choices is more likely to be correct. This may increase decoding performance by decreasing errors and in some examples, reducing the complexity of choices by eliminating certain decoding possibilities and thus increasing decoder efficiency.
