| contents | Forward Error Correction (FEC) provides reliable data flow in wireless networks despite the presence of noise and interference. However, its processing demands significant fraction of a wireless network's resources, due to its computationally-expensive decoding process. This forces network designers to compromise between performance and implementation complexity. In this paper, we investigate a novel processing architecture for FEC decoding, one based on the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA), to evaluate the potential of this emerging quantum compute approach in resolving the decoding performance-complexity tradeoff.
We present FDeQ, a QAOA-based FEC Decoder design targeting the popular NextG wireless Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) and Polar codes. To accelerate QAOA-based decoding towards practical utility, FDeQ exploits temporal similarity among the FEC decoding tasks. This similarity is enabled by the fixed structure of a particular FEC code, which is independent of any time-varying wireless channel noise, ambient interference, and even the payload data. We evaluate FDeQ at a variety of system parameter settings in both ideal (noiseless) and noisy QAOA simulations, and show that FDeQ achieves successful decoding with error performance at par with state-of-the-art classical decoders at low FEC code block lengths. Furthermore, we present a holistic resource estimation analysis, projecting quantitative targets for future quantum devices in terms of the required qubit count and gate duration, for the application of FDeQ in practical wireless networks, highlighting scenarios where FDeQ may outperform state-of-the-art classical FEC decoders. |
