Recursive Trellis Decoding Techniques of Polar Codes

Abstract

Recursive trellis decoding of polar codes is considered. Polar codes are shown to have much lower recursive trellis decoding complexity compared to similar Reed-Muller codes. Furthermore, a low-latency decoding algorithm, which combines recursive trellis and successive cancellation decoding methods, is presented.

Trellis-based Decoding Techniques for Polar Codes with Large Kernels

Peter Trifonov

A recursive trellis-based algorithm is proposed for computing the probabilities arising in the successive cancellation (SC) decoding algorithm for polar codes with arbitrary linear kernels. This approach enables one to re-use intermediate values obtained at different phases. Arikan SC algorithm is shown to be a special case of this method.

Recursive Processing Algorithm for Low Complexity Decoding of Polar Codes With Large Kernels

Peter Trifonov, Liudmila Karakchieva

A reduced complexity algorithm is presented for computing the log-likelihood ratios (LLRs) arising in the successive cancellation (SC) decoder for polar codes with large kernels of arbitrary dimension. The proposed algorithm exploits a recursive trellis representation of the codes generated by submatrices of the polarization kernel and enables polar codes based on large kernels to be decoded with lower complexity compared to the codes based on the Arıkan kernel with the same performance. Extensions to the case of non-binary kernels are presented.

Recursive Decoding and Its Performance for Low-Rate Reed-Muller Codes

Ilya I. Dumer

Recursive decoding techniques are considered for Reed-Muller (RM) codes of growing length $n$ and fixed order $r.$ An algorithm is designed that has complexity of order $n\log n$ and corrects most error patterns of weight up to $n(1/2-\varepsilon)$ given that $\varepsilon$ exceeds $n^{-1/2^{r}}.$ This improves the asymptotic bounds known for decoding RM codes with nonexponential complexity.

Design and Decoding of Polar Codes with Large Kernels: A Survey

Peter Trifonov

We present techniques for the construction of polar codes with large kernels and their decoding. A crucial problem in the implementation of the successive cancellation decoding algorithm and its derivatives is kernel processing, i.e., fast evaluation of the log-likelihood ratios for kernel input symbols. We discuss window and recursive trellis processing methods. We consider techniques for evaluation of the reliability of bit subchannels and for obtaining codes with improved distance properties.

Recursive List Decoding for Reed-Muller Codes

Ilya I. Dumer, Kirill Shabunov

We consider recursive decoding for Reed-Muller (RM) codes and their subcodes. Two new recursive techniques are described. We analyze asymptotic properties of these algorithms and show that they substantially outperform other decoding algorithms with nonexponential complexity known for RM codes. Decoding performance is further enhanced by using intermediate code lists and permutation procedures. For moderate lengths up to 512, near-optimum decoding with feasible complexity is obtained.

Recursive decoding techniques are considered for Reed-Muller (RM) codes of growing length nnn and fixed order r.r.r. An algorithm is designed that has complexity of order nlog⁡nn\log nnlogn and corrects most error patterns of weight up to n(1/2−ε)n(1/2-\varepsilon)n(1/2−ε) given that ε\varepsilonε exceeds n−1/2r.n^{-1/2^{r}}.n−1/2r. This improves the asymptotic bounds known for decoding RM codes with nonexponential complexity.
