The Implementation of a Successive Cancellation Polar Decoder on Xilinx System Generator

Abstract

Polar coding is the first kind of the capacity achieving codes which are defined for binary-input discrete memoryless channels initially. Parallel processing property of the FPGA allows to decode faster with a margin of complexity. Xilinx System Generator as a practical tool to construct decoding designs in shorter time is a fact. In this study, FPGA implementation of decoding polar codes through Xilinx System Generator is shown. © 2023 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
