### Sublinear Latency for Simplified Successive Cancellation Decoding of Polar Codes

• Computer Science
IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications
• 2021
This work analyzes the latency of the simplified successive cancellation (SSC) decoding scheme for polar codes proposed by Alamdar-Yazdi and Kschischang and shows that most of the latency reduction arises from the parallel decoding of subcodes of rate 0 or 1.

### Sub-4.7 Scaling Exponent of Polar Codes

• Computer Science

Polar code visibly approaches channel capacity in practice and is thereby a constituent code of the 5G standard, however, the per- formance of short-length polar code has rooms for improvement that could hinder its adoption by a wider class of applications.

### Polar Codes’ Simplicity, Random Codes’ Durability

• Computer Science
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
• 2021
The core theme is to incorporate polar coding with large, random, dynamic kernels (which boosts the performance to random’s realm), and the putative codes are optimal in the following manner.

### Relaxed Polar Codes

• Computer Science
IEEE Transactions on Information Theory
• 2017
Polar codes are the latest breakthrough in coding theory, as they are the first family of codes with explicit construction that provably achieve the symmetric capacity of binary-input discrete

### Polar-like Codes and Asymptotic Tradeoff among Block Length, Code Rate, and Error Probability

• Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2018
As a corollary, a grafted variant of polar coding almost catches up the code rate and error probability of random codes with complexity slightly larger than $N\log N$ over BEC.

### Polar Code Moderate Deviation: Recovering the Scaling Exponent

• Computer Science
ArXiv
• 2018
It is shown that polar coding is able to produce a series of codes that achieve capacity on symmetric binary-input memoryless channels and the latest result in the moderate deviation regime does not imply the scaling exponent regime as a special case.

### Unified scaling of polar codes: Error exponent, scaling exponent, moderate deviations, and error floors

• Computer Science
2015 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT)
• 2015
A unified framework to characterize the relationship between R, N, P<sub>e</sub>, and W is developed and it is proved that polar codes are not affected by error floors.

• 2014
The polarization behavior can be characterized in terms of a nested chain of linear codes and used to prove that computing the polarization behavior is NP-hard, and it is proved that an arbitrary ℓ ×ℓ polarization kernel K can be transformed into a lower-triangular form without altering its polarization behavior.

### Polar Codes with Exponentially Small Error at Finite Block Length

• Computer Science, Mathematics

• 2018
This work shows that the entire class of polar codes converge to capacity at block lengths polynomial in the gap to capacity, while simultaneously achieving failure probabilities that are exponentially small in the block length (i.e., decoding fails with probability $\exp(-N^{\Omega(1)})$ for codes of length $N$).

### Relaxed channel polarization for reduced complexity polar coding

• Computer Science
2015 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC)
• 2015
This work constructs another family of capacity-achieving codes that have even lower encoding and decoding complexities, by relaxing the channel polarizations for certain bit-channels, and shows that relaxed polar codes can have better bit error probabilities than conventional polar codes, while having reduced encoding and decode complexities.

The paper proves that, given any B-DMC W with I(W) > 0 and any target rate R< I( W) there exists a sequence of polar codes {Cfrn;nges1} such that Cfrn has block-length N=2n, rate ges R, and probability of block error under successive cancellation decoding bounded as Pe(N,R) les O(N-1/4) independently of the code rate.
