Spinal codes, a family of rateless codes introduced in 2011, have been proved to achieve Shannon capacity over both the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and the binary symmetric channel (BSC). In this paper, we derive explicit…

Similar to existing codes, puncturing and shortening are two general ways to obtain an arbitrary code length and code rate for polar codes. When some of the coded bits are punctured or shortened, it is equivalent to a situation in which the…

The definition of polar codes given by Arikan is explicit, but the construction complexity is an issue. This is due to the exponential growth in the size of the output alphabet of the bit-channels as the codeword length increases. Tal and…

Most existing works of polar codes focus on the analysis of block error probability. However, in many scenarios, bit error probability is also important for evaluating the performance of channel codes. In this paper, we establish a new…

The training complexity of deep learning-based channel decoders scales exponentially with the codebook size and therefore with the number of information bits. Thus, neural network decoding (NND) is currently only feasible for very short…

$1 - (1-x^M) ^ {2^M} > (1 - (1-x)^M) ^{2^M}$ is proved for all $x \in [0,1]$ and all $M > 1$. This confirms a conjecture about polar code, made by Wu and Siegel in 2019, that $W^{0^m 1^M}$ is more reliable than $W^{1^m 0^M}$, where $W$ is…
