Polar Codes for Hard-Decision Decoding

Description

In this internship we will investigate performance and decoding algorithms for polar codes using hard decisions.

Supervisor:

Probabilistic Shaping with Low-Density Graph Codes and Message Passing

Keywords:
probabilistic shaping, ldpc, ldgm, belief propagation

Description

In this thesis we will use and develop practical algorithms for lossy source coding (a.k.a. quantization or compression) to construct a probabilistic shaping scheme based on low-density graph codes. 

Supervisor:

Shaped Incremental Redundancy HARQ using Polar Codes

Keywords:
polar coding, probabilistic shaping, harq, wireless

Description

The aim of the thesis is to construct a hybrid ARQ coding scheme which employs probabilistic shaing. For both individual concepts, the structure of polar codes provides an amenable fundament. This makes a polarization-based coding scheme an interesting candidate to fuse HARQ with shaping.
