Efficient Encoders and Decoders for Polar Codes by Gabi Sarkis PDF Summary

Book Description: "Error-correcting codes enable reliable and efficient data communication and storage and have become an indispensable part of information processing systems. Polar codes are the latest discovery in the quest for more powerful error correction. They are the first codes with an explicit construction to provably achieve the symmetric capacity of memoryless channels. Moreover, this performance is realizable using the low complexity successive-cancellation decoding algorithm. Despite their attractive theoretical properties, polar codes suffer from two major issues hindering practical implementations: a slow decoding algorithm and mediocre error-correction performance at moderate code lengths. Solutions to these problems in the literature have been mutually exclusive. Decoding speed can be increased, but at the cost of degrading error-correction capability. On the other hand, the error-correction performance can be greatly improved using a list decoding algorithm, which incurs a large cost in both decoding speed and memory requirements. This incompatibility in solutions must be resolved before polar codes become practical. This thesis presents novel, compatible solutions to these problems. It introduces a new decoding algorithm that has the same error-correction performance as successive cancellation, but offers significantly lower latency and higher throughput. A corresponding decoder implementation is shown to be an order of magnitude faster than the state-of-the-art in the literature. Next, the speed of successive-cancellation list decoders for polar codes is improved without degrading error-correction performance. The resulting software decoders implementing the proposed algorithm offer throughput and error-correction performance exceeding the best in the literature and meeting the requirements for the 802.11n WiFi standard. This work also brings to light another beneficial property of polar codes that had not been studied before. It presents encoders and decoders that can operate on polar codes of any length and rate, while maintaining low implementation complexity and fast operating speed. Such implementations are important in systems that must adapt to varying channel conditions. Finally, two methods are introduced that improve error-correction performance without incurring the memory overhead of list decoding. The first targets systems where re-transmission is impossible or highly undesirable. The second improves the performance of software decoders using polar codes with rates very close to the channel capacity." --
