New In-Context Decoding Framework Enhances Text Transmission Robustness

Researchers have developed a novel In-Context Decoding (ICD) framework designed to enhance the robustness of Separate Source-Channel Coding (SSCC) for text transmission. This receiver-side approach utilizes an Error Correction Code Transformer (ECCT) to assess the reliability of decoded bits. The system then generates a pool of candidate reconstructions by performing reliability-guided bit flipping, samples from this pool, and employs a large-language model-based arithmetic decoder to produce final outputs and their associated log-likelihoods. Experiments show that ICD consistently outperforms conventional SSCC methods and some Joint Source-Channel Coding (JSCC) schemes across various challenging channel conditions. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more reliable text transmission in challenging communication environments by leveraging LLMs for error correction.
