July 2024 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/0xxxr0 Background The next generation WiFi is defined for ultra high reliability. This motivates more robust channel coding schemes. It is known that the performance of LDPC codes improves for longer codeword block length. Currently, the longest codeword block length is 1944 bits. Contribution 11-24/1985r4 [1] proposed to extend the codeword block length to 2x1944 bits. In their design, considerations are emphasized on reusing existing LDPC core for codeword block length of 1944 bits. In this study, we show simulation results of those longer LDPC codes under various settings. We also share our views on longer LDPC codes. Submission Slide 2 Rong Zhang, etc (NXP)

July 2024 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/0xxxr0 Summary Simulations are carried out for longer LDPC codes. Consistent gains can be observed across all MCSs in various settings. Affordable HW development efforts, since the code structure allows reusing existing LDPC core for codeword block length of 1944 bits. Hence, the adoption of longer LDPC codes [1] needs to be considered by 11bn. Submission Slide 9 Rong Zhang, etc (NXP)
