Successive Cancellation List Decoding of BMERA Codes with Application to Higher-Order Modulation

BMERA or convolutional polar codes are an extension of polar codes with a provably better error exponent than polar codes. A successive cancellation (SC) decoding algorithm for BMERA codes similar to SC polar decoders is introduced. A pseudocode description of the SC decoder that can be extended to SC list (SCL) decoding is provided. Simulation results with and without outer CRC codes under SC and SCL decoding are presented for QAM modulation over the AWGN channel to compare the performance of polar and BMERA codes. BMERA codes outperform polar codes by more than 0.5 dB under SCL decoding without outer CRC codes.

Flexible IR-HARQ Scheme for Polar-Coded Modulation

A flexible incremental redundancy hybrid auto- mated repeat request (IR-HARQ) scheme for polar codes is proposed based on dynamically frozen bits and the quasi-uniform puncturing (QUP) algorithm. The length of each transmission is not restricted to a power of two. It is applicable for the binary input additive white Gaussian noise (biAWGN) channel as well as higher-order modulation. Simulation results show that this scheme has similar performance as directly designed polar codes with QUP and outperforms LTE-turbo and 5G-LDPC codes with IR-HARQ.

Efficient Polar Code Construction for Higher-Order Modulation

An efficient algorithm for the construction of polar codes for higher-order modulation is presented based on information-theoretic principles. The bit reliabilities after successive demapping are estimated using the LM-rate, an achievable rate for mismatched decoding. The successive demapper bit channels are then replaced by binary input Additive White Gaussian Noise (biAWGN) surrogate channels and polar codes are constructed using the Gaussian approximation (GA). This LM-rate Demapper GA (LM-DGA) construction is used to construct polar codes for several demapping strategies proposed in literature. For all considered demappers, the LM-DGA constructed polar codes have the same performance as polar codes constructed by Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. The proposed LM-DGA construction is much faster than the MC construction. For 64-QAM, spectral efficiency 3 bits/s/Hz, and block length 1536 bits, simulation results show that LM-DGA constructed polar codes with cyclic redundancy check and successive cancellation list decoding are 1 dB more power efficient than state-of-the-art AR4JA low-density parity-check codes.
