Decoder-Tailored Polar Code Design Using the Genetic Algorithm
Decoder-Tailored Polar Code Design Using the Genetic Algorithm
We present a new framework for constructing polar codes (i.e., selecting the frozen bit positions) for arbitrary channels, tailored to a given decoding algorithm rather than assuming the (not necessarily optimal) successive cancellation (SC) decoding. The proposed framework is based on the genetic algorithm (GenAlg), where populations (i.e., collections) of …
