Large Kernel Polar Codes with efficient Window Decoding
In this paper, we modify polar codes constructed with some 2^t x 2^t polarization kernels to reduce the time complexity of the window decoding. This modification is based on the permutation of the columns of the kernels. This method is applied to some of the kernels constructed in the literature of size 16 and 32, with different error exponents and scaling exponents such as eNBCH kernel. It is shown that this method reduces the complexity of the window decoding significantly without affecting the performance.
