The polar decomposition for a matrix $A$ is $A=UB$, where $B$ is a positive Hermitian matrix and $U$ is unitary (or, if $A$ is not square, an isometry). This paper shows that the ability to apply a Hamiltonian $\pmatrix{ 0 & A^\dagger \cr A…

Unrolling a decoding algorithm allows to achieve extremely high throughput at the cost of increased area. Look-up tables (LUTs) can be used to replace functions otherwise implemented as circuits. In this work, we show the impact of…

We propose to reduce the decoding complexity of polar codes with non-Arikan kernels by employing a (near) ML decoding algorithm for the codes generated by kernel rows. A generalization of the order statistics algorithm is presented for soft…

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…

We improve the method in \cite{Seidl:10} for increasing the finite-lengh performance of polar codes by protecting specific, less reliable symbols with simple outer repetition codes. Decoding of the scheme integrates easily in the known…

Polar codes provably achieve the symmetric capacity of a memoryless channel while having an explicit construction. This work aims to increase the throughput of polar decoder hardware by an order of magnitude relative to the state of the art…

In this paper, we study the connection between polar codes and product codes. Our analysis shows that the product of two polar codes is again a polar code, and we provide guidelines to compute its frozen set on the basis of the frozen sets…

This paper presents a polarization-driven (PD) shortening technique for the design of rate-compatible polar codes. The proposed shortening strategy consists of reducing the generator matrix by relating its row index with the channel…

We consider automorphism ensemble decoding (AED) of quasi-cyclic (QC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Belief propagation (BP) decoding on the conventional factor graph is equivariant to the quasi-cyclic automorphisms and therefore…

Polar codes represent one of the major recent breakthroughs in coding theory and, because of their attractive features, they have been selected for the incoming 5G standard. As such, a lot of attention has been devoted to the development of…

Let $\mathcal{A}$ be an abelian variety over a number field, with a good reduction at a prime ideal containing a prime number $p$. Denote by ${\rm A}$ an abelian variety over a finite field of characteristic $p$, obtained by the reduction…

A combinatorial code $\mathcal{C}$ is a collection of subsets of $[n]$, or equivalently a set of points in $\{0,1\}^n$. A morphism of codes is a map from one combinatorial code to another such that the coordinates of points in the image can…

We revisit the idea of using deep neural networks for one-shot decoding of random and structured codes, such as polar codes. Although it is possible to achieve maximum a posteriori (MAP) bit error rate (BER) performance for both code…

Polar codes are of great interest since they are the first provably capacity-achieving forward error correction codes. To improve throughput and to reduce decoding latency of polar decoders, maximum likelihood (ML) decoding units are used…

Precoded polar product codes are proposed, where selected component codes enable successive cancellation list decoding to generate bit-wise soft messages efficiently for iterative decoding while targeting optimized distance spectrum as…

This paper first presents a new approach to evaluating the descriptive complexity of finite-length binary sequences. Specifically, we investigate the sequence-wise recovery behavior induced by polar compression and successive cancellation…

Constructive algorithms, requiring no more than $2\times 2$ matrix manipulations, are provided for finding the entries of the positive definite factor in the polar decomposition of matrices in sixteen groups preserving a bilinear form in…

Polar codes, invented by Arikan in 2009, are known to achieve the capacity of any binary-input memoryless output-symmetric channel. One of the few drawbacks of the original polar code construction is that it is not universal. This means…

Motivated by the significant performance gains which polar codes experience under successive cancellation list decoding, their scaling exponent is studied as a function of the list size. In particular, the error probability is fixed and the…

The codewords of the homomorphism code $\operatorname{aHom}(G,H)$ are the affine homomorphisms between two finite groups, $G$ and $H$, generalizing Hadamard codes. Following the work of Goldreich--Levin (1989), Grigorescu et al. (2006),…
