In this paper, we discuss pre-transformed RM-Polar codes and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) concatenated pre-transformed RM-Polar codes. The simulation results show that the pre-transformed RM-Polar (256, 128+9) code concatenated with 9-bit CRC can achieve a frame error rate (FER) of 0.001 at Eb/No=1.95dB under the list decoding, which is about 0.05dB from the RCU bound. The pre-transformed RM-Polar (512, 256+9) concatenated with 9-bit CRC can achieve a FER of 0.001 at Eb/No=1.6dB under the list decoding, which is 0.15dB from the RCU bound.
This paper explores list decoding of convolutional and polar codes for short messages such as those found in the 5G physical broadcast channel. A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is used to select a codeword from a list of likely codewords. One example in the 5G standard encodes a 32-bit message with a 24-bit CRC and a 512-bit polar code with additional bits added by repetition to achieve a very low rate of 32/864. This paper shows that optimizing the CRC length improves the $E_b/N_0$ performance of this polar code, where $E_b/N_0$ is the ratio of the energy per data bit to the noise power spectr…
Permutation decoding gained recent interest as it can exploit the symmetries of a code in a parallel fashion. Moreover, it has been shown that by viewing permuted polar codes as polar subcodes, the set of usable permutations in permutation decoding can be increased. We extend this idea to pre-transformed polar codes, such as cyclic redundancy check (CRC)-aided polar codes, which previously could not be decoded using permutations due to their lack of automorphisms. Using belief propagation (BP)-based subdecoders, we showcase a performance close to CRC-aided SCL (CA-SCL) decoding. The proposed a…
Polar codes are the first class of channel codes achieving the symmetric capacity of the binary-input discrete memoryless channels with efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. But the weight spectrum of Polar codes is relatively poor compared to RM codes, which degrades their ML performance. Pre-transformation with an upper-triangular matrix (including cyclic redundancy check (CRC), parity-check (PC) and polarization-adjusted convolutional (PAC) codes), improves weight spectrum while retaining polarization. In this paper, the weight spectrum of upper-triangular pre-transformed Polar Codes …
