Low-complexity Channel Polarized Multilevel Coding for Modulation-format-independent Forward Error Correction
Takeshi Kakizaki, Masanori Nakamura, Fukutaro Hamaoka, Yoshiaki Kisaka · 2021
We propose a modulation-format-independent binary coding scheme that applies multilevel coding to channel polarized signals with different capacities. The simulation results show that the proposed method can reduce complexity with slight net coding gain degradation by applying SD-FEC only to non-reliable bits compared to BICM.
