A rateless coding scheme transmits incrementally more and more coded bits over an unknown channel until all the information bits are decoded reliably by the receiver. We propose a new rateless coding scheme based on polar codes, and we show…

Reed-Muller (RM) codes and polar codes are generated by the same matrix $G_m= \bigl[\begin{smallmatrix}1 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 \\ \end{smallmatrix}\bigr]^{\otimes m}$ but using different subset of rows. RM codes select simply rows having largest…
It is shown that all polar encoding schemes of rate $R>\frac{1}{2}$ of block length $N$ implemented according to the Thompson VLSI model must take energy $E\ge\Omega\left(N^{3/2}\right)$. This lower bound is achievable up to polylogarithmic…
