The channel polarization behavior of polar codes under noise with memory is investigated. By introducing a genie-aided channel model, we first show that the polarized subchannels still converge to extremal channels under the standard polar…

We study a problem of constructing codes that transform a channel with high bit error rate (BER) into one with low BER (at the expense of rate). Our focus is on obtaining codes with smooth ("graceful") input-output BER curves (as opposed to…
