Abstract

An optimization algorithm for finding a shortening pattern and a set of frozen symbols for polar codes is proposed. The structure of polar codes is exploited to eliminate many equivalent shortening patterns, thus reducing the search space. A reduced-complexity suboptimal algorithm is proposed for finding shortening patterns for long polar codes. Shortened codes obtained with the proposed method are shown to outperform low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes.
