Methods for rapid fault recovery of corrupted 5G/6G messages

A method for a wireless receiver to improve communication reliability, the method comprising:

• a) receiving a message and an associated error-detection code, the message and the error-detection code comprising resource elements, each resource element comprising a modulated waveform signal modulated according to an allowed modulation state of a modulation scheme;
• b) for each particular resource element of the message and the error-detection code:
• i) demodulating the particular resource element by selecting a closest modulation state of the allowed modulation states;
• and
• ii) measuring a parameter of the waveform signal, and determining a quality factor according to the measured parameter of the waveform signal;
• c) comparing the message, or a hash or digest thereof, to the error-detection code;
• and
• d) determining that the message or the error-detection code is corrupted.

A method for a wireless receiver to recover a corrupted message, the method comprising:

• a) receiving a message and an error-detection code associated with the message, the message and the error detection code comprising message elements, each message element comprising a resource element of a resource grid, each message element further comprising a waveform signal, the waveform signal modulated according to a modulation scheme comprising a plurality of predetermined modulation levels;
• b) demodulating the message by comparing a modulation parameter of each message element to the plurality of predetermined modulation levels and selecting a closest modulation level of the plurality;
• and
• c) determining, according to the error-detection code, that the message is corrupted.
