Abstract
A polar code decoding apparatus according to an embodiment includes a divider configured to generate a decoding tree in which a plurality of nodes including one or more critical sets for a polar-encoded codeword are formed in a hierarchical structure, and divide the decoding tree into one or more partitions, each partition equally including lowest nodes of the decoding tree, a determiner configured to determine a memory size for storing a primary decoding result based on a specific partition, the specific partition being selected from among the one or more partitions based on the number of critical sets included in each partition, and a decoder configured to decode the codeword primarily by using a successive cancellation (SC) decoding technique.
