Soft list decoding of polar codes
Soft list decoding of polar codes
Soft-output (SO) decoding is proposed for the Logarithmic Successive Cancellation List (Log-SCL) polar decoder for the first time, by exploiting the left-to-right propagation of the Belief Propagation (BP) decoder, which opens new avenues
for its employment in powerful turbo-receivers. In the case of decoding a half-rate polar code having a block length of 1024 bits, the proposed soft list polar decoder achieves a 1:5 dB Block Error Ratio (BLER) performance gain, 50% latency improvement and 26% complexity reduction, compared to the state-of-the-art SO Soft Cancellation (SCAN) polar decoder in a polar-coded Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system. Furthermore, we conceive a Memory-Efficient (ME) soft list polar decoder, which requires only 16% of the soft list polar decoder’s memory, at the cost of slightly increased latency and complexity.

Abstract
Soft-output (SO) decoding is proposed for the Logarithmic Successive Cancellation List (Log-SCL) polar decoder for the first time, by exploiting the left-to-right propagation of the Belief Propagation (BP) decoder, which opens new avenues
for its employment in powerful turbo-receivers. In the case of decoding a half-rate polar code having a block length of 1024 bits, the proposed soft list polar decoder achieves a 1:5 dB Block Error Ratio (BLER) performance gain, 50% latency improvement and 26% complexity reduction, compared to the state-of-the-art SO Soft Cancellation (SCAN) polar decoder in a polar-coded Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system. Furthermore, we conceive a Memory-Efficient (ME) soft list polar decoder, which requires only 16% of the soft list polar decoder’s memory, at the cost of slightly increased latency and complexity.
