A Polar Code Decoder with Ratings of 4.68Gb/s Using Belief Propagation and a Bit-Split Register File

EasyChair Preprint 14875

Abstract

Polar codes are a breakthrough in error-correcting techniques, and their importance in high-speed communication systems is indisputable. In this paper, we propose a 4.68Gb/s polar code decoder that leverages the belief propagation (BP) algorithm along with a bit-split register file to achieve significant improvements in decoding speed, memory efficiency, and overall performance. This novel decoder architecture is optimized for high-throughput applications, where reliable and low-latency error correction is critical. Through detailed performance analysis, we demonstrate that our approach achieves marked improvements in decoding speed and accuracy compared to traditional methods. Our work pushes the boundaries of error correction in modern data transmission systems, particularly for 5G, fiber-optic, and other high-speed networks.
