Title
Adaptive Successive Cancellation Priority Decoder For 5g Polar Codes
Abstract
As two common successive cancellation (SC)-based decoding algorithms of polar codes, the SC list (SCL) and SC stack (SCS) decoder can achieve satisfactory error correction performance, especially with increased list size or stack depth. Nevertheless, a large list size or stack depth will lead to high computational complexities and hardware resources. To this end, successive cancellation priority (SCP) decoding with priority-first searching strategy and trellis-like storage is proposed to offer one solution. In this paper, an efficient SCP decoder is first proposed to verify its advantages over SCL and SCS decoders. Furthermore, an adaptive node-inserting scheme is proposed to reduce the number of bits insert into the priority queue. Numerical results have shown that for the polar code with transmission length 1024 and rate 1/2, the proposed adaptive SCP (ASCP) decoder can achieve significant time complexity reduction on average compared with the standard SCL decoder. The hardware architecture of SCP decoding is implemented using 65-nm CMOS technology and the results show better throughput compared with the SCS decoder.
