This dataset contains which are used for generating Fig.7 Fig.8 Fig.9 Fig.10 Fig.11 Fig.13 and Fig.14. These figures are plotted using GLE (Graphics Layout Engine). The scripts of Gle are also included in the folds for each figures. In order to generate these figures, you should install Gle
http://glx.sourceforge.net/

The figures are as follows:

Fig. 7: BLER performance of the polar decoders considered for A = 84;G = 136 polar codes with various stack sizes S, for the case where QPSK modulation is used for communication over (a) an AWGN channel; (b) a Rayleigh fading channel.
Fig. 8: BLER performance of the polar decoders considered for A = 84;G = 204 polar codes with various stack sizes S, for the case where QPSK modulation is used for communication over (a) an AWGN channel; (b) a Rayleigh fading channel.
Fig. 9: BLER performance of the polar decoders considered for A = 84;G = 272 polar codes with various stack sizes S, for the case where QPSK modulation is used for communication over (a) an AWGN channel; (b) a Rayleigh fading channel.
Fig. 10: The number of f, g and  functions performed by the polar decoders considered for various combinations of information block length A, encoded block length G and stack size S, for the case where QPSK modulation is used for communication over an AWGN channel.
Fig. 11: The number of f, g and  functions performed by the polar decoders considered for various combinations of information block length A, encoded block length G and stack size S, for the case where QPSK modulation is used for communication over a flat Rayleigh fading channel.
Fig. 13: The SNR required to achieve a BLER of 10e-3 for different combinations of information block length A and encoded block length G of the 3GPP NR PUCCH polar code, using QPSK modulation for communication over an AWGN channel, when employing (a) the approximate f and  functions of (2c) and (5b); and (b) the exact f and  functions of (2b) and (5a). Here, the list size L for Log-SCL decoding is 8 or 128, whereas the stack size S for Log-SCS and Improved Log-SCS decoder is 128.
Fig. 14: The computational complexity gain (CCG) for different combinations of information block length A and encoded block length G of the 3GPP NR PUCCH and PUSCH polar code to achieve a BLER of 10e-3, when employing QPSK for communication over an AWGN channel. Here, the list size L for Log-SCL decoding is 8 or 128, whereas the stack size S for the Improved Log-SCS decoder is 128.
