Abstract: This paper proposes a novel Viterbi-Like successive cancellation (VL-SC) decoding algorithm for polar codes. The algorithm employs the bit log-likelihood-ratio as the “penalty value” within ...

Abstract: We apply the innovations method to Viterbi decoding of convolutional codes. First, we calculate the covariance matrix of the innovation (i.e., the soft ...
