Efficient decoding of polar codes for 5G

这项拟议的研究项目的目标是证明极地码在即将到来的5G无线通信标准中的可行性。与LTE等以前的标准相比，5G系统将具有更高的吞吐量、更低的延迟和更低的能耗。因此，这项提议的目的是为了证明低复杂度的极地解码器在5G中的可行性。为此，我们的目标是开发具有与最先进的解决方案(即低密度奇偶校验(LDPC)和Turbo码)同等的纠错性能，但硬件实现复杂性(速度、面积和功耗)更低的极地解码器的算法、体系结构和实现，以改进该领域的最先进水平。华为技术加拿大公司将通过开发5G极地码的技术和概念验证演示平台从该项目中受益。培训高素质人员(HQP)是拟议研究项目的核心。拟议的研究项目将培训14名学生和博士后。拟议的研究将通过支持下一代无线通信系统的技术创新，帮助显著改善社会和加拿大人的生活质量。

The objective of this proposed research project is to demonstrate the viability of polar codes for the upcoming 5G wireless communications standard. 5G systems will have higher throughput, lower latency, and lower energy consumption than previous standards such as LTE. Therefore, the objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the viability of low-complexity polar decoders for 5G. To do this, we aim to develop algorithms, architectures, and implementations of polar decoders that have equivalent error-correcting performance as state-of-the-art solutions (i.e. Low-Density-Parity-Check (LDPC) and Turbo Codes), but with lower hardware implementation complexity (speed, area, and power), improving upon the state-of-the-art in the field. Huawei Technologies Canada will benefit from this project through the development of technology and proof-of-concept demonstration platforms for polar codes in 5G. Training of Highly Qualified Personnel (HQP) is at the core of the proposed research project. The proposed research project will train 14 students and postdocs. The proposed research will help deliver significant improvements to society and quality of life of Canadians through technological innovation enabling the next generation of wireless communications systems.
