A reduced complexity sequential decoding algorithm for polar (sub)codes is described. The proposed approach relies on a decomposition of the polar (sub)code being decoded into a number of outer codes, and on-demand construction of codewords…

The coded trace reconstruction problem asks to construct a code $C\subset \{0,1\}^n$ such that any $x\in C$ is recoverable from independent outputs ("traces") of $x$ from a binary deletion channel (BDC). We present binary codes of rate…
