How to Mask in Error Correction Code Transformer: Systematic and Double Masking

In communication and storage systems, error correction codes (ECCs) are pivotal in ensuring data reliability. As deep learning's applicability has broadened across diverse domains, there is a growing research focus on neural network-based decoders that outperform traditional decoding algorithms. Among these neural decoders, Error Correction Code Transformer (ECCT) has achieved the state-of-the-art performance, outperforming other methods by large margins. To further enhance the performance of ECCT, we propose two novel methods. First, leveraging the systematic encoding technique of ECCs, we introduce a new masking matrix for ECCT, aiming to improve the performance and reduce the computational complexity. Second, we propose a novel transformer architecture of ECCT called a double-masked ECCT. This architecture employs two different mask matrices in a parallel manner to learn more diverse features of the relationship between codeword bits in the masked self-attention blocks. Extensive simulation results show that the proposed double-masked ECCT outperforms the conventional ECCT, achieving the state-of-the-art decoding performance with significant margins.
