A Hybrid ARQ Scheme Based on Polar Codes

Abstract

A hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) scheme based on a novel class of rate-compatible polar (RCP) codes are proposed. The RCP codes are constructed by performing punctures and repetitions on the conventional polar codes. Simulation results over binary-input additive white Gaussian noise channels (BAWGNCs) show that, using a low-complexity successive cancellation (SC) decoder, the proposed HARQ scheme performs as well as the existing schemes based on turbo codes and low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. The proposed transmission scheme is only about 1.0-1.5dB away from the channel capacity with the information block length of 1024 bits.
