Abstract
In reduced-stage polar decoding, a received word that is based on an N-bit codeword of a polar code is decoded using fewer than log2N Log Likelihood Ratio (LLR) stages. Decoding uses a reduced stage decoding configuration. In an embodiment, such a configuration includes at least one higher-order LLR stage with nodes implementing functions that are based on a combination of lower-order polar code kernels.
