Researchers have developed MaskCode, a novel Transformer-based inner feedback code designed to enhance concatenated coding systems. MaskCode integrates knowledge of the outer linear block code through a soft syndrome-based input and a code-aware attention mask derived from the Tanner graph. This approach aims to optimize feedback allocation by focusing on parity constraint violations. Evaluations show MaskCode consistently outperforms existing methods, achieving up to 1.5 dB SNR gain with BCH and LDPC outer codes. AI
