Abstract

Among the most recent proposals for error corrections there are the Polar codes. These are described in Chapter 10. This chapter describes polar codes, which are block codes designed for simplifying the implementation of the decoder. Specifically, polar codes are designed assuming a successive cancellation (SC) decoder. Channel polarization and subchannel ranking are discussed in this chapter.
