基于分段凿孔的极化码级联方案

极化码拥有出色的纠错性能，但编码方式决定了其码长不够灵活，需要通过凿孔构造码长可变的极化码。该文引入矩阵极化率来衡量凿孔对极化码性能的影响，选择矩阵极化率最大的码字作为最佳凿孔模式。对极化码的码字进行分段，有效减小了最佳凿孔模式的搜索运算量。由于各分段的第1个码字都会被凿除，且串行抵消译码过程中主要发生1位错，因此在各段段首级联奇偶校验码作为译码提前终止标志，检测前段码字的译码错误并进行重新译码。对所提方法在串行抵消译码下的性能进行仿真分析，结果表明，相比传统凿孔方法，所提方法在10–3误码率时能获得约0.7 dB的编码增益，有效提升了凿孔极化码的译码性能。

Concatenated Polar Codes Scheme Based on Segmented Puncturing

Polar codes have outstanding error correction performance, but the code length of conventional polar codes is not compatible because of their coding method. To construct rate-compatible polar codes, a segmented puncturing method is proposed. Using the rate of polarization, the puncturing effect is measured and the codeword is removed to make the largest rate of polarization, which is the optimal puncturing mode. As the first codeword of the optimal puncturing mode is 0, the parity check codes are introduced to detect the decoding error of preceding segments codeword. The decoding performance of the method is simulated, results show that this method can obtain about 0.7 dB coding gain at 10–3 bit error rate compared with the traditional puncturing method, which can effectively improve the performance of the punctured polar codes.
