Performance of polar code for image transmission
Tanaporn Payommai, Kosin Chamnongthai · 2013
We discuss the performance of polar code, the capacity-achieving channel code, on wireless communication channel in the paper. This code is used as forward error correction (FEC) technique to protect transmitted source data over channel. The aim of this paper is to reduce the error floor and the bit rate error of image transmission. We analyze the polar code with the define parameters via Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. The construction of polar code is designed with various at difference code length, same rate by comparing with low density parity check (LDPC) code as same cause. Polar code will be good candidate for image transmissions. The performance of polar code is evaluated by bit error rate (BER) that can improve more than 10% and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) more than 30 at SNR equals 8 dB.
