DOWNLOAD EBOOKA new class of provably capacity achieving error-correction codes, polar codes are suitable for many problems, such as lossless and lossy source coding, problems with side information, multiple access channel, etc. The first comprehensive book on the implementation of decoders for polar codes, the authors take a tutorial approach to explain the practical decoder implementation challenges and trade-offs in either software or hardware. They also demonstrate new trade-offs in latency, throughput, and complexity in software implementations for high-performance computing and GPGPUs, and hardware implementations using custom processing elements, full-custom application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), and field-programmable-gate arrays (FPGAs). Presenting a good overview of this research area and future directions, High-Speed Decoders for Polar Codes is perfect for any researcher or SDR practitioner looking into implementing efficient decoders for polar codes, as well as students and professors in a modern error correction class. As polar codes have been accepted to protect the control channel in the next-generation mobile communication standard (5G) developed by the 3GPP, the audience includes engineers who will have to implement decoders for such codes and hardware engineers designing the backbone of communication networks.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Polar codes have received a great deal of attention in the past few years to the extent that they are selected to be included in the 5th Generation of Wireless Communications Standard (5G). Specifically, polar codes were selected as the coding scheme for the Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) control channel which requires codes of short length. The main bottleneck in the deployment of polar codes in 5G is the design of a decoder which can achieve good error-correction performance, with low hardware implementation cost and high throughput. Successive-Cancellation (SC) decoding was the first algorithm under which polar codes could achieve capacity when the code length is very high. However, for finite practical code lengths, SC decoding falls short in providing a reasonable error-correction performance because of its sub-optimality with respect to the Maximum-Likelihood (ML) decoder. Sphere Decoding (SD) is an algorithm that can achieve the performance of ML decoding with a very high complexity. In order to close the gap between SC and ML decoding, Successive-Cancellation List (SCL) decoding keeps a list of candidates and selects the one with the best Path Metric (PM). Although SCL provides a good error-correction performance, it comes at the cost of higher complexity and lower throughput. In this thesis, we first propose a low complexity SD algorithm which provides a good trade-off between the error-correction performance and the complexity of the decoder for polar codes of short lengths. We then propose algorithms to speed up the SCL decoders. We prove that while these algorithms have much higher throughput than the conventional SCL decoder, they incur no error-correction performance loss. We further propose several techniques to reduce the area occupation in the hardware implementation of SC and SCL decoders by reducing their memory requirements. We solve the flexibility issue of fast SC-based decoders and introduce a completely rate-flexible scheme. Hardware architectures for the proposed algorithms are presented and comparisons with state of the art are made. Finally, we evaluate the performance of polar codes in 5G and we show that polar codes can be used in practical applications by proposing a blind detection scheme with polar codes." --

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book explains the philosophy of the polar encoding and decoding technique. Polar codes are one of the most recently discovered capacity-achieving channel codes. What sets them apart from other channel codes is the fact that polar codes are designed mathematically and their performance is mathematically proven. The book develops related fundamental concepts from information theory, such as entropy, mutual information, and channel capacity. It then explains the successive cancellation decoding logic and provides the necessary formulas, moving on to demonstrate the successive cancellation decoding operation with a tree structure. It also demonstrates the calculation of split channel capacities when polar codes are employed for binary erasure channels, and explains the mathematical formulation of successive cancellation decoding for polar codes. In closing, the book presents and proves the channel polarization theorem, before mathematically analyzing the performance of polar codes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK- Treats joint source and channel decoding in an integrated way - Gives a clear description of the problems in the field together with the mathematical tools for their solution - Contains many detailed examples useful for practical applications of the theory to video broadcasting over mobile and wireless networks Traditionally, cross-layer and joint source-channel coding were seen as incompatible with classically structured networks but recent advances in theory changed this situation. Joint source-channel decoding is now seen as a viable alternative to separate decoding of source and channel codes, if the protocol layers are taken into account. A joint source/protocol/channel approach is thus addressed in this book: all levels of the protocol stack are considered, showing how the information in each layer influences the others. This book provides the tools to show how cross-layer and joint source-channel coding and decoding are now compatible with present-day mobile and wireless networks, with a particular application to the key area of video transmission to mobiles. Typical applications are broadcasting, or point-to-point delivery of multimedia contents, which are very timely in the context of the current development of mobile services such as audio (MPEG4 AAC) or video (H263, H264) transmission using recent wireless transmission standards (DVH-H, DVB-SH, WiMAX, LTE). This cross-disciplinary book is ideal for graduate students, researchers, and more generally professionals working either in signal processing for communications or in networking applications, interested in reliable multimedia transmission. This book is also of interest to people involved in cross-layer optimization of mobile networks. Its content may provide them with other points of view on their optimization problem, enlarging the set of tools which they could use.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKPolar codes, recently accepted for adoption in 5G standard due to their excellent performance at a very low complexity compared to other competitive schemes in the literature, are deemed to be a strong candidate for the Internet of Things (IoT) applications as well due to meeting their requirements. However, since polar codes construction is naturally channel-dependent, there has recently been an increasing interest in addressing the challenge of making polar codes work in realistic fading environments as they do in a binary symmetric channel (BSC). Recent studies on polar codes for fading channels have mainly focused on constructing new specific polar codes suitable to particular fading channels. This results in a non-universal code structure, leading to continuous changes in the code structure based on the channel, which is not desirable in practice. To address this problem, we develop and propose a novel transceiver architecture which enables using the polar coding design of a binary input additive white Gaussian noise (BI-AWGN) channel for multi-path fading channels without causing any changes in the structure of the encoder and decoder sides. This is made possible by eliminating the channel fading effect so that a net AWGN channel can be seen at the input of a simple successive cancellation decoder (SCD). The novelty of the proposed solution lies in using a channel-based orthonormal transformation with optimal power allocation at the transmitter and another transformation at the receiver to make the net, effective channel seen by the SCD very similar to an AWGN channel. The obtained results show that the proposed design makes the bit error rate (BER) performance of polar codes over a frequency selective fading channel the same as that over an AWGN channel. As an additional great advantage, the proposed design is found to be capable of providing confidentiality against eavesdropping receivers (i.e., unintended users) at the physical layer. Particularly, wireless physical layer security is delivered by the proposed scheme because of the fact that the transmitted data blocks are designed based on the channel of the legitimate receiver, which is naturally different from that of an eavesdropper, who is normally located several wavelengths away from the legitimate receiver and thus experiencing a different channel.==========================================================This short-length e-book is meant for students (master and Ph.D.), researchers, engineers, practitioners, and instructors who are interested in wireless communication and signal processing. You should have a fair understanding of digital communication systems, linear algebra, random variables, and channel coding to begin with.
