Abstract
Devices, systems and methods for list decoding of polarization-adjusted convolutional (PAC) codes are described. One example method for improving error correction in a decoder for data in a communication channel includes receiving a noisy codeword, the codeword having been generated using a polarization-adjusted convolutional (PAC) code and provided to the communication channel prior to reception by the decoder, and performing PAC list decoding on the noisy codeword, wherein an encoding operation of the PAC code comprises a convolutional precoding operation that generates one or more dynamically frozen bits, and wherein the PAC list decoding comprises extending, based on the one or more dynamically frozen bits, at least two paths of a plurality of paths in the PAC list decoding differently and independently.
