QUANTUM-INSPIRED ERROR CORRECTION CODES FOR ULTRA-RELIABLE COMMUNICATION IN NEXT-GENERATION NETWORKS

ICTACT Journal on Communication Technology ( Volume: 16 , Issue: 4 )

Abstract

The rapid growth of next-generation networks has created a strong demand for communication systems that have delivered high reliability, low latency, and resilience under harsh channel conditions. Although classical error correction codes have improved many wireless links, their performance has proved insufficient as data rates increased and channel dynamics became more unpredictable. This study has explored a quantum-inspired error correction framework that has combined structural principles from quantum stabilizer codes with the efficiency of classical block codes. The aim was to provide an adaptive mechanism that has reduced noise effects and supported ultra-reliable communication targets. The problem has emerged from the gap between existing coding techniques and the reliability requirements of mission-critical services. Classical codes have struggled when the channel has exhibited fast fading or burst noise, and quantum codes, while powerful, have required complex hardware. The proposed approach has addressed this gap by adopting quantum-inspired parity structures that have retained the lightweight processing of classical codes while mimicking the robustness observed in quantum systems. The method has employed a hybrid coding model that has integrated a modified stabilizer-like generator with a classical low-density parity check backbone. The encoder has produced redundant qubit-analogous syndromes that have allowed the decoder to infer error patterns with higher confidence. A sequential belief-propagation algorithm has been used, which has adjusted decoding weights according to channel variation. Simulations have been performed over Rayleigh and Rician channels, and the system has been tested under high mobility. The results of the proposed framework demonstrate substantial improvements over conventional coding methods. The hybrid stabilizer-LDPC structure reduces the bit error rate from 22.3% to 0.5% across an SNR range of 0–20 dB and lowers the frame error rate from 45.7% to 1.1%. Throughput improves from 4.2 Mbps at 0 dB to 13.8 Mbps at 20 dB, while the average decoding iterations decrease from 42 to 5, indicating reduced computational complexity. Under high-speed mobility, BER and FER remain low at 2.3% and 4.6%, respectively, while throughput stays above 10.2 Mbps and convergence requires only 12 iterations. These numerical results confirm that the proposed method provides highly reliable, efficient, and adaptive error correction suitable for next-generation networks.
