Low latency polar coding and decoding by merging of states of the polar code graph

摘要

A polar decoder kernal is described. The polar decoder kernal is configured to: receive one or more soft bits from a soft kernal encoded block having a block size of N and output one or more recovered kernal information bits from a recovered kernal information block having a block size of N. The polar decoder kernal comprises a decomposition of a polar code graph into an arbitrary number of columns depending on the kernal block size N.
