In 2008 Arikan proposed polar coding [arXiv:0807.3917] which we summarize as follows: (a) From the root channel $W$ synthesize recursively a series of channels $W_N^{(1)},\dotsc,W_N^{(N)}$. (b) Select sophisticatedly a subset $A$ of…

We consider the $2^n$ channels synthesized by the $n$-fold application of Ar\i{}kan's polar transform to a binary erasure channel (BEC). The synthetic channels are BECs themselves, and we show that, asymptotically for almost all these…
Polar coding is a recently proposed coding technique that can provably achieve the channel capacity. The polar code structure, which is based on the original 2x2 generator matrix, polarises the channels, i.e., a portion of the channel…
