SUCCESSIVE CANCELLATION DECODER OF POLAR CODES FOR 5G COMMUNICATION

Abstract

Polar codes have emerged as a promising error correction coding scheme for the next generation communication systems, particularly in the context of 5G technology. This Project architectures for polar code decoders using stochastic computing. Prior efforts were focused on design of polar decoders via deterministic computation, while the behaviour of stochastic polar decoder, which can have potential advantages such as low complexity and strong error-resilience, was not been studied. We design implement 8-bit stochastic polar SC decoder and verify the functionality.
