Fault Mitigation Using Signal Quality and Error-Detection Codes in 5G/6G

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

• a) using an error-detection code, determining that a message is corrupted;
• b) using a waveform signal comprising each message element of the message, determining which message elements are likely faulted;
• c) altering each likely faulted message element according to each of the Nstate states;
• and
• d) determining, according to the error-detection code, whether the message so altered is corrupted;
• e) wherein each message element occupies exactly one resource element of a resource grid, each message element comprises a waveform signal, the waveform signal is modulated according to a modulation scheme, and the modulation scheme comprises integer Nstate predetermined modulation states.

A method for a receiver to mitigate message faults, the method comprising:

• a) receiving a message comprising message elements, each message element occupying a single resource element of a resource grid and containing a waveform signal modulated according to content of the message;
• b) receiving an error-detection code associated with the message;
• c) determining a signal quality of each waveform signal according to a parameter of the waveform signal, the parameter comprising at least one of an amplitude or a phase or a frequency or a polarization;
• and
• d) for each message element, determining a likelihood that the message element is faulted according to a combination of the signal quality and the error-detection code.
