Polar subcodes for MIMO systems

Information Theory 2025-08-29 v1 math.IT

Abstract

Polar-coded multiple-input multiple-output systems are investigated. An advanced receiver implementing joint list decoding of polar codes and QR- and MMSE-based detectors is proposed. The approximate and exact path metrics are derived for joint list decoder of polar codes. A construction of polar subcodes for MIMO systems with cross-antenna dynamic freezing constraints is proposed. The obtained polar subcodes provide significant performance gain compared to LDPC-coded MIMO systems with the same rate allocation.
