Reinforcement Learning for Channel Coding: Learned Bit-Flipping Decoding

Fabrizio Carpi, Christian Häger, Marco Martalò +2

In this paper, we use reinforcement learning to find effective decoding strategies for binary linear codes. We start by reviewing several iterative decoding algorithms that involve…

Polar Codes for the Deletion Channel: Weak and Strong Polarization

Ido Tal, Henry D. Pfister, Arman Fazeli +1

This paper presents the first proof of polarization for the deletion channel with a constant deletion rate and a regular hidden-Markov input distribution. A key part of this work i…

Kerdock Codes Determine Unitary 2-Designs

Trung Can, Narayanan Rengaswamy, Robert Calderbank +1

The non-linear binary Kerdock codes are known to be Gray images of certain extended cyclic codes of length over . We show that exponentiating these $\mathbb…

Learned Belief-Propagation Decoding with Simple Scaling and SNR Adaptation

Mengke Lian, Fabrizio Carpi, Christian Häger +1

We consider the weighted belief-propagation (WBP) decoder recently proposed by Nachmani et al. where different weights are introduced for each Tanner graph edge and optimized using…
