Analysis of Spatially Coupled Systems using the Potential Functional with Applications to Coding Theory

Rafah El-Khatib

For the past 70 years or so, coding theorists have been aiming at designing transmission schemes with efficient encoding and decoding algorithms that achieve the capacity of various noisy channels. It was not until the '90s that graph-based codes, such as ...

Hardware Decoders for Polar Codes: An Overview

Andreas Peter Burg, Pascal Giard

Polar codes are an exciting new class of error correcting codes that achieve the symmetric capacity of memoryless channels. Many decoding algorithms were developed and implemented, addressing various application requirements: from error-correction performa ...

Erasure Schemes Using Generalized Polar Codes: Zero-Undetected-Error Capacity and Performance Trade-offs

Rajai Nasser

We study the performance of generalized polar (GP) codes when they are used for coding schemes involving erasure. GP codes are a family of codes which contains, among others, the standard polar codes of Arikan and Reed-Muller codes. We derive a closed form ...

Re-proving Channel Polarization Theorems

Mine Alsan

The general subject considered in this thesis is a recently discovered coding technique, polar coding, which is used to construct a class of error correction codes with unique properties. In his ground-breaking work, Arikan proved that this class of codes, ...

Asynchronous Decoding of LDPC Codes over BEC

Amin Karbasi, Amir Hesam Salavati, Saeid Haghighatshoar

LDPC codes are typically decoded by running a synchronous message passing algorithm over the corresponding bipartite factor graph (made of variable and check nodes). More specifically, each synchronous round consists of 1) updating all variable nodes based ...

A Scaling Law to Predict the Finite-Length Performance of Spatially-Coupled LDPC Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke

Spatially-coupled low-density parity-check (SC-LDPC) codes are known to have excellent asymptotic properties. Much less is known regarding their finite-length performance. We propose a scaling law to predict the error probability of finite-length spatially ...

LDPC Codes for 2D Arrays

Mohammad Amin Shokrollahi, Yuval Cassuto

Binary codes over 2D arrays are very useful in data storage, where each array column represents a storage device or unit that may suffer failure. In this paper, we propose a new framework for probabilistic construction of codes on 2D arrays. Instead of a p ...

Polarization Improves E-0

Emre Telatar, Mine Alsan

We prove that channel combining and splitting via Arikan's polarization transformation improves Gallager's reliability function E-0 for binary input channels. In this sense, polarization creates E-0. This observation gives yet another justification as to w ...

LLR-based Successive Cancellation List Decoding of Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming

We present an LLR-based implementation of the successive cancellation list (SCL) decoder. To this end, we associate each decoding path with a metric which (i) is a monotone function of the path’s likelihood and (ii) can be computed efﬁciently from the chan ...
