The prevailing opinion in industry and academia is that polar codes are competitive for short code lengths, but can no longer keep up with low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes as block length increases. This view is typically based on the…
Owing to their capacity-achieving performance and low encoding and decoding complexity, polar codes have drawn much research interests recently. Successive cancellation decoding (SCD) and belief propagation decoding (BPD) are two common…
Previous work showed that polar codes can be decoded using off-the-shelf LDPC decoders by imposing special constraints on the LDPC code structure, which, however, resulted in some performance degradation. In this paper we show that this…

Polar codes are a class of capacity-achieving codes for the binary-input discrete memoryless channels (B-DMCs). However, when applied in channels with intersymbol interference (ISI), the codes may perform poorly with BCJR equalization and…
