The field of channel coding and decoding is witnessing significant developments, driven by the need for innovative solutions to fulfill the requirements of next-generation communication standards. Researchers are exploring new techniques to improve the efficiency and performance of decoding algorithms, particularly for polar codes and low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. Noteworthy papers in this area include:
- Enhanced Successive Cancellation List Decoder for Long Polar Codes Targeting 6G Air Interface, which proposes algorithmic techniques to enable the implementation of long polar codes in next-generation communications standards.
- Precoded Polar Product Decoder Based on Soft-Output SCL Decoding and Maximization of Generalized Mutual Information, which combines two approaches to optimize the iterative decoding of product codes with precoded polar component codes.
- Polar subcodes for MIMO systems, which investigates polar-coded multiple-input multiple-output systems and proposes an advanced receiver implementing joint list decoding of polar codes and QR- and MMSE-based detectors.
