PAC Codes for Source and Joint Source-Channel Coding

Abstract

Polarization-adjusted convolutional (PAC) codes, as a concatenated coding scheme based on polar codes, is able to approach the finite-length bound of binary-input AWGN channel at short blocklengths. In this paper, we extend PAC codes to the fields of source coding and joint source-channel coding and show that they can also approach the corresponding finite-length bounds at short blocklengths.
