Hardware Decoders for Polar Codes: An Overview
Pascal Giard, Gabi Sarkis, Alexios Balatsoukas-Stimming +5
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,…
Fast Low-Complexity Decoders for Low-Rate Polar Codes
Pascal Giard, Alexios Balatsoukas-Stimming, Gabi Sarkis +2
Polar codes are capacity-achieving error-correcting codes with an explicit construction that can be decoded with low-complexity algorithms. In this work, we show how the state-of-t…
Flexible and Low-Complexity Encoding and Decoding of Systematic Polar Codes
Gabi Sarkis, Ido Tal, Pascal Giard +3
In this work, we present hardware and software implementations of flexible polar systematic encoders and decoders. The proposed implementations operate on polar codes of any length…
Fast List Decoders for Polar Codes
Gabi Sarkis, Pascal Giard, Alexander Vardy +2
Polar codes asymptotically achieve the symmetric capacity of memoryless channels, yet their error-correcting performance under successive-cancellation (SC) decoding for short and m…
Low-Latency Software Polar Decoders
Pascal Giard, Gabi Sarkis, Camille Leroux +2
Polar codes are a new class of capacity-achieving error-correcting codes with low encoding and decoding complexity. Their low-complexity decoding algorithms rendering them attracti…
Increasing the Speed of Polar List Decoders
Gabi Sarkis, Pascal Giard, Alexander Vardy +2
In this work, we present a simplified successive cancellation list decoder that uses a Chase-like decoding process to achieve a six time improvement in speed compared to successive…
Fast Software Polar Decoders
Pascal Giard, Gabi Sarkis, Claude Thibeault +1
Among error-correcting codes, polar codes are the first to provably achieve channel capacity with an explicit construction. In this work, we present software implementations of a p…
