We investigate the performance of multi-level polar coded modulation in the decode-forward relay channel. We begin by numerically analyzing the rates assigned to polar codes of all levels via chain rule and error exponent. The construction of polar codes follows the 5G standard. A joint decoding based on maximum ratio combining with multistage decoding is proposed for the destination. We simulate the error performance under 16QAM with gray labeling and Ungerboeck's set partitioning. In the half-duplex mode, a gain of 2.5dB is observed compared with the state of the art, consisting of 0.7 dB gain due to multistage decoding and 1.8dB gain due to the choice of labeling. In addition, the error performance according to error exponent is compared with the chain rule. A dispersion bound for the decode-forward relaying is calculated.
