Consider a binary-input memoryless output-symmetric channel $W$. Such a channel has a capacity, call it $I(W)$, and for any $R<I(W)$ and strictly positive constant $P_{\rm e}$ we know that we can construct a coding scheme that allows…
Polar codes introduced by Arikan in 2009 are the first code family achieving the capacity of binary-input discrete memoryless channels (BIDMCs) with low-complexity encoding and decoding. Identifying unreliable synthetic channels in polar…
Constructing a polar code is all about selecting a subset of rows from a Kronecker power of $[^1_1{}^0_1]$. It is known that, under successive cancellation decoder, some rows are Pareto-better than the other. For instance, whenever a user…

In the standard polar code construction, the message vector $(U_0,U_1,\dots,U_{n-1})$ is divided into information bits and frozen bits according to the reliability of each $U_i$ given $(U_0,U_1,\dots,U_{i-1})$ and all the channel outputs.…
