Abstract
A node receives transmissions associated with a given set of information bits, wherein each of the transmissions use a different polar code and share one or more information bits of the given set of information bits. The node determines, at each of a plurality of polar decoders of the node, soft information for each information bit included in an associated one of the transmissions, wherein each of the plurality of polar decoders is associated with a different transmission of the transmissions. The node provides, from each polar decoder of the plurality to one or more other polar decoders of the plurality, the determined soft information for any information bits shared by their respective associated transmissions, and uses the provided soft information in an iterative decoding process to decode one or more of the received transmissions.
