Decoder Partitioning: Towards Practical List Decoding of Polar Codes

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Marco Mondelli

Polar codes represent one of the major recent breakthroughs in coding theory and, because of their attractive features, they have been selected for the incoming SG standard. As such, a lot of attention has been devoted to the development of decoding algori ...

A New Coding Paradigm for the Primitive Relay Channel

Rüdiger Urbanke, Seyed Hamed Hassani, Marco Mondelli

We present a coding paradigm that provides a new achievable rate for the primitive relay channel by combining compress-and-forward and decode-and-forward with a chaining construction. In the primitive relay channel model, the source broadcasts a message to ...

A Joint Typicality Approach to Compute–Forward

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Adriano Pastore, Sung Hoon Lim, Chen Feng

This paper presents a joint typicality framework for encoding and decoding nested linear codes in multi-user networks. This framework provides a new perspective on compute–forward within the context of discrete memoryless networks. In particular, it establ ...

On the Tradeoff Between Accuracy and Complexity in Blind Detection of Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Pascal Giard

Polar codes are a recent family of error-correcting codes with a number of desirable characteristics. Their disruptive nature is illustrated by their rapid adoption in the 5 th-generation mobile-communication standard, where they are used to protect contro ...

Design rules for optimizing unipolar coded Brillouin optical time-domain analyzers

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Simon Adrien Zaslawski, Zhisheng Yang, Zonglei Li

The performance of unipolar unicolor coded Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) is evaluated based on both Simplex and Golay codes. Four major detrimental factors that limit the system performance, including decoded-gain trace distortion, coding ...

Coding for Communications and Secrecy

Mani Bastaniparizi

Shannon, in his landmark 1948 paper, developed a framework for characterizing the fundamental limits of information transmission. Among other results, he showed that reliable communication over a channel is possible at any rate below its capacity. In 2008, ...

PolarBear: A 28-nm FD-SOI ASIC for Decoding of Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Andrea Bonetti, Thomas Christoph Müller, Pascal Giard

Polar codes are a recently proposed class of block codes that provably achieve the capacity of various communication channels. They received a lot of attention as they can do so with low-complexity encoding and decoding algorithms, and they have an explici ...

Towards an algebraic network information theory: Simultaneous joint typicality decoding

Michael Christoph Gastpar, Adriano Pastore, Sung Hoon Lim, Chen Feng

Recent work has employed joint typicality encoding and decoding of nested linear code ensembles to generalize the compute-forward strategy to discrete memoryless multiple-access channels (MACs). An appealing feature of these nested linear code ensembles is ...

Approximate Decoding for Network Coded Inter-dependent Data

Pascal Frossard, Nikolaos Thomos, Hyung Gon Park

In this paper, we consider decoding of loss tolerant data encoded by network coding and transmitted over error-prone networks. Intermediate network nodes typically perform the random linear network coding in a Galois field and a Gaussian elimination is use ...

From Polar to Reed-Muller Codes : Unified Scaling, Non-standard Channels, and a Proven Conjecture

Marco Mondelli

The year 2016, in which I am writing these words, marks the centenary of Claude Shannon, the father of information theory. In his landmark 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication", Shannon established the largest rate at which reliable communica ...

Polar Codes for Arbitrary DMCs and Arbitrary MACs

Emre Telatar, Rajai Nasser

Polar codes are constructed for arbitrary channels by imposing an arbitrary quasi-group structure on the input alphabet. Just as with usual polar codes, the block error probability under successive cancellation decoding is O(2^(-N^(1/2-epsilon))), where N ...
