We explain the process of channel polarization and demonstrate that polar coding is capacity achieving. Then, we present efficient techniques for the coding process, two different implementations of the successive decoder, and an efficient method for the construction of the code (i.e., the selection of the virtual channels that will carry the useful information). Finally, we show how polar coding can be used for the degraded broadcast channel to transmit public data to two receivers and private data to one of them.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Πολυτεχνείο Κρήτης::Σχολή Ηλεκτρολόγων Μηχανικών και Μηχανικών ΥπολογιστώνAntoniou_Eleni_Dip_2018.pdfChania [Greece]Library of TUC2018-07-13application/pdf744.6 kBfree Antoniou Eleni Αντωνιου Ελενη Karystinos Georgios Καρυστινος Γεωργιος Liavas Athanasios Λιαβας Αθανασιος Bletsas Aggelos Μπλετσας Αγγελος Πολυτεχνείο Κρήτης Technical University of Crete Polar codes Binary erasure channel
