Polar Codes: From Theory to Practice

Understand a cutting-edge new class of error correction codes with this introduction

Channel coding is a pivotal technique employed to account for potential errors due to channel noise or interference by adding layers of redundancy to information prior to transmission or storage. Should errors appear in the transmitted sequence upon reaching its destination, they can be corrected with reference to the redundant layers. Polar codes are a new class of error correction codes that provably achi...
