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 ...

Hardware Architecture for List Successive Cancellation Decoding of Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming

This brief presents a hardware architecture and algorithmic improvements for list successive cancellation (SC) decoding of polar codes. More specifically, we show how to completely avoid copying of the likelihoods, which is algorithmically the most cumbers ...

Is non-unique decoding necessary?

Vinod Malathidevi Prabhakaran, Shirin Saeedi Bidokhti

In multi-terminal communication systems, signals carrying messages meant for different destinations are often observed together at any given destination receiver. Han and Kobayashi (1981) proposed a receiving strategy which performs a joint unique decoding ...

Rate allocation and optimized decoding in inter-session network coding

Eirina Bourtsoulatze

Recent advances in data processing and communication systems have led to a continuous increase in the amount of data communicated over today’s networks. These large volumes of data pose new challenges on the current networking infrastructure that only offe ...

Generalized Codes on Graphs and Applications in Content Distribution

Masoud Alipour Babaei

The contribution of this thesis is twofold. In the first part, we generalize and analyze two classes of error correcting codes: LDPC codes and product codes. We generalize graphical codes by considering checks being arbitrary codes instead of single pariti ...

Polar Codes for the Two-User Multiple-Access Channel

Emre Telatar, Eren Sasoglu

Arikan's polar coding method is extended to two-user multiple-access channels. It is shown that if the two users of the channel use Arikan's construction, the resulting channels will polarize to one of five possible extremals, on each of which uncoded tran ...

Polar Codes For Broadcast Channels

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Emmanuel Abbé, Naveen Goela

Building on polar code constructions proposed by the authors for deterministic broadcast channels, two theorems are introduced in the present paper for noisy two-user broadcast channels. The theorems establish polar code constructions for two important ...

Scaling Exponent of List Decoders with Applications to Polar Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Marco Mondelli

Motivated by the significant performance gains which polar codes experience when they are decoded with successive cancellation list decoders, we study how the scaling exponent changes as a function of the list size L. In particular, we fix the block error ...

Iterative Coding for Network Coding

Rüdiger Urbanke, Andrea Montanari

We consider communication over a noisy network under randomized linear network coding. Possible error mechanisms include node-or link-failures, Byzantine behavior of nodes, or an overestimate of the network min-cut. Building on the work of Kotter and Kschi ...

Polarization Theorems for Arbitrary DMCs

Emre Telatar, Rajai Nasser

A polarization phenomenon in a special sense is shown for an arbitrary discrete memoryless channel (DMC) by imposing a quasigroup structure on the input alphabet. The same technique is used to derive a polarization theorem for an arbitrary multiple access ...
