Convolutional Polar Kernels
Ruslan Morozov · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 2020
A family of polarizing kernels is presented together with polynomial-complexity algorithm for computing scaling exponent. The proposed convolutional polar kernels are based on convolutional polar codes, also known as b-MERA codes. For these kernels, a polynomial-complexity algorithm is proposed to find weight spectrum of unrecoverable erasure patterns, needed for computing scaling exponent. As a result, we obtain scaling exponent and polarization rate for convolutional polar kernels of size up to 1024.
