Further Evidence for Using Polar Codes for Low Overhead Error Correction Encoding in Underwater Acoustics
Abstract
Polar coding is a linear block coding method notable for its channel capacity-achieving performance with low-complexity encoding and decoding algorithms. This memorandum will provide additional evidence in support of the previously published Formal Report entitled, Using Polar Codes for Low Overhead Error Correction Encoding in Underwater Acoustics. It will present new support for the application of polar codes to frequency shift keying (FSK) modulation. Polar codes are ideal within a presumed channel description, here an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) was assumed. Compared with traditional rate-1/2 convolutional error correction encoding, polar was shown to have lower probability of bit error and had less overhead another critical concern for very short transmission frames.
