Joint Coding of URLLC and eMBB in Wyner's Soft-Handoff Network in the Finite Blocklength Regime (2206.11395v1)
Published 22 Jun 2022 in cs.IT and math.IT
Abstract: Wyner's soft-handoff network is considered where transmitters simultaneously send messages of enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) and ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC) services. Due to the low-latency requirements, the URLLC messages are transmitted over fewer channel uses compared to the eMBB messages. To improve the reliability of the URLLC transmissions, we propose a coding scheme with finite blocklength codewords that exploits dirty-paper coding (DPC) to precancel the interference from eMBB transmissions. Rigorous bounds are derived for the error probabilities of eMBB and URLLC transmissions achieved by our scheme. Numerical results illustrate that they are lower than for standard time-sharing.
