Dynamic Frozen-Function Design for Reed-Muller Codes With Automorphism-Based Decoding

In this letter, we propose to add dynamic frozen bits to underlying polar codes with a Reed-Muller information set with the aim of maintaining the same sub-decoding structure in Automorphism Ensemble (AE) and lowering the Maximum Likelihood (ML) bound by reducing the number of minimum weight codewords. We provide the dynamic freezing constraint matrix that remains identical after applying a permutation linear transformation. This feature also permits to drastically reduce the memory requirements of an AE decoder with polar-like codes having dynamic frozen bits. We show that, under AE decoding, the proposed dynamic freezing constraints lead to a gain of up to 0.25dB compared to the ML bound of the R(3,7) Reed-Muller code, at the cost of small increase in memory requirements.

A Pre-Transformation Method to Increase the Minimum Distance of Polar-Like Codes

Reed Muller (RM) codes are known for their good minimum distance. One can use their structure to construct polar-like codes with good distance properties by choosing the information set as the rows of the polarization matrix with the highest Hamming weight, instead of the most reliable synthetic channels. However, the information length options of RM codes are quite limited due to their specific structure. In this work, we present sufficient conditions to increase the information length by at least one bit for some underlying RM codes and in order to obtain pre-transformed polar-like codes with the same minimum distance than lower rate codes.The proofs give a constructive method to choose the row triples to be merged together to increase the information length of the code and they follow from partitioning the row indices of the polar encoding matrix with respect to the recursive structure imposed by the binary representation of row indices. Moreover, our findings are combined with the method presented in [2] to further reduce the number of minimum weight codewords. Numerical results show that the designed codes perform close to the meta-converse bound at short blocklengths and better than the polarization-adjusted-convolutional polar codes with the same parameters.
