Abstract
Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for precoding and decoding polar codes using local feedback are described. One example method for improving an error correction capability of a decoder includes receiving a noisy codeword vector of length n, the codeword having been generated based on a concatenation of a convolutional encoding operation and a polar encoding operation and provided to a communication channel prior to reception by the decoder, performing a successive-cancellation decoding operation on the noisy codeword vector to generate a plurality of polar decoded symbols (n), generating a plurality of information symbols (k) by performing a convolutional decoding operation on the plurality of polar decoded symbols, wherein k/n is a rate of the concatenation of the convolutional encoding operation and the polar encoding operation, and performing a bidirectional communication between the successive-cancellation decoding operation and the convolutional decoding operation.
