Log-logarithmic Time Pruned Polar Coding on Binary Erasure Channels (1812.08106v1)
Published 19 Dec 2018 in cs.IT and math.IT
Abstract: A pruned variant of polar coding is reinvented for all binary erasure channels. For small $\varepsilon>0$, we construct codes with block length $\varepsilon{-5}$, code rate $\text{Capacity}-\varepsilon$, error probability $\varepsilon$, and encoding and decoding time complexity $O(N\log|\log\varepsilon|)$ per block, equivalently $O(\log|\log\varepsilon|)$ per information bit (Propositions 5 to 8). This result also follows if one applies systematic polar coding [Ar{\i}kan 10.1109/LCOMM.2011.061611.110862] with simplified successive cancelation decoding [Alamdar-Yazdi-Kschischang 10.1109/LCOMM.2011.101811.111480], and then analyzes the performance using [Guruswami-Xia arXiv:1304.4321] or [Mondelli-Hassani-Urbanke arXiv:1501.02444].
