Polarization is an unprecedented coding technique in that it not only achieves channel capacity, but also does so at a faster speed of convergence than any other coding technique. This speed is measured by the ``scaling exponent'' and its…
Polar codes with memory (PCM) are proposed in this paper: a pair of consecutive code blocks containing a controlled number of mutual information bits. The shared mutual information bits of the succeeded block can help the failed block to…
It is shown that for any binary-input discrete memoryless channel $W$ with symmetric capacity $I(W)$ and any rate $R <I(W)$, the probability of block decoding error for polar coding under successive cancellation decoding satisfies $P_e \le…

Polar code visibly approaches channel capacity in practice and is thereby a constituent code of the 5G standard. Compared to low-density parity-check code, however, the performance of short-length polar code has rooms for improvement that…
Despite the extreme error-correction performance, the amount of computation of sequential decoding of the polarization-adjusted convolutional (PAC) codes is random. In sequential decoding of convolutional codes, the computational cutoff…
In this paper we show a polar coding scheme for the deletion channel with a probability of error that decays roughly like $2^{-\sqrt{\Lambda}}$, where $\Lambda$ is the length of the codeword. That is, the same decay rate as that of seminal…
Systematic polar codes are shown to outperform non-systematic polar codes in terms of the bit-error-rate (BER) performance. However theoretically the mechanism behind the better performance of systematic polar codes is not yet clear. In…
Constant weight codes can arise from an input process sampled from a periodic Markov chain. A previous result showed that, in general, polarization does not occur for input-output processes with an underlying periodic Markov chain. In this…
Over any discrete memoryless channel, we build codes such that: for one, their block error probabilities and code rates scale like random codes'; and for two, their encoding and decoding complexities scale like polar codes'. Quantitatively,…
We consider the problem of efficiently constructing polar codes over binary memoryless symmetric (BMS) channels. The complexity of designing polar codes via an exact evaluation of the polarized channels to find which ones are "good" appears…
We investigate a stationary process's crypticity---a measure of the difference between its hidden state information and its observed information---using the causal states of computational mechanics. Here, we motivate crypticity and cryptic…
Polar codes are a class of linear error correction codes which provably attain channel capacity with infinite codeword lengths. Finite length polar codes have been adopted into the 5th Generation 3GPP standard for New Radio, though their…
