Outline of Final Research Achievements

Polar coding, which has been introduced by Arikan, is a channel coding scheme for reliable communication. Polar coding is expected to be one of the new core technique of efficient communication in the future. In this research project, we mainly studied the polar code about the following three subjects: (A) an analysis of the relationship between symmetric channel capacity and reliability function of the channel model, (B) Improvement and speedup on quantization algorithm for discrete channel model used in polar code design, (C) an analysis of the multilevel polarization of the q-ary polar coding.
