Balanced Low-Complexity and Flexible Error-Correction List Flip Decoding for Polar Codes

Benefiting from performance advantages under short code lengths, polar codes are well-suited for certain scenarios, such as the future Internet of Things (IoT) applications that require high reliability and low power. Existing list flip decoders can efficiently further enhance the error-correction performance of polar codes with finite code lengths, particularly the dynamic successive cancellation list flip (D-SCLF) decoder with flexible high-order error-correction capability (FHECC). However, to the best of our knowledge, current list flip decoders cannot effectively balance complexity and error-correction efficiency. To address this, we propose a parity-check-aided D-SCLF (PC-DSCLF) decoder. This decoder, based on FHECC and the characteristics of the list flip decoding process, introduces a simplified flip metric and a hybrid check scheme, along with a decoding method that supports the check scheme, enabling it to retain FHECC while achieving low complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed PC-DSCLF decoder achieves up to a 51.1\% average complexity reduction compared to the D-SCLF algorithm with distributed CRC for $PC(512, 256+24)$

Adaptive List Decoder with Flip Operations for Polar Codes

Successive cancellation list decoders with flip operations (SCL-Flip) can utilize re-decoding attempts to significantly improve the error-correction performance of polar codes. However, these re-decoding attempts result in extra computation complexity, which thus leads to increased energy consumption and decoding latency to the communication system adopting SCL-Flip decoders. To significantly reduce the computation complexity of current SCL-Flip decoders, we design a new adaptive SCL-Flip (AD-SCLF) decoder, which can be easily implemented based on existing SCL-Flip techniques. Simulation results showed that the AD-SCLF can reduce up to 80.85\% of the computational complexity of a current SCL-Flip decoder at a matched $FER=10^{-3}$. The result implies our decoder can significantly reduce the energy consumption caused by redundant re-decoding attempts from the SCL-Flip decoder.
