Research on polar codes has been constantly gaining attention over the last decade, by academia and industry alike, thanks to their capacity-achieving error-correction performance and low-complexity decoding algorithms. Recently, they have been selected as one of the coding schemes in the 5th ...
Fast decoding of polar codes tries to overcome this problem by identifying particular subcodes in the polar code and decoding them with efficient decoders. In this work, we introduce a generalized approach to fast decoding of polar codes to further reduce SC-based decoding latency. We propose ...
