Semantic Error Correction and Decoding for Short Block Codes

This paper presents a semantic-enhanced receiver framework for transmitting natural language sentences over noisy wireless channels using multiple short block codes. After ASCII encoding, the sentence is divided into segments, each independently encoded with a short block code and transmitted over an AWGN channel. At the receiver, segments are decoded in parallel, followed by a semantic error correction (SEC) model, which reconstructs corrupted segments using language model context. We further propose the semantic list decoding (SLD), which generates multiple candidate reconstructions and selects the best one via weighted Hamming distance, and a semantic confidence-guided HARQ (SHARQ) mechanism that replaces CRC-based error detection with a confidence score, enabling selective segment retransmission without CRC overhead. All modules are designed and trained using bidirectional and auto-regressive transformers (BART). Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme significantly outperforms conventional capacity-approaching short codes and long codes at the same rate. Specifically, SEC provides approximately 0.4 dB BLER gain over plain short-code transmission, while SLD extends this to 0.8 dB. Compared to transmitting the entire sentence as a single long 5G LDPC codeword, our approach significantly improves semantic fidelity and reduces decoding latency by up to 90\%. SHARQ further provides an additional 1.5 dB gain over conventional HARQ.
