Error-correcting Performance Comparison for Polar Codes, LDPC Codes and Convolutional Codes in High-performance Wireless

In this paper, polar codes, low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and convolutional codes in the status of high-performance wireless (WirelessHP) are discussed. Those classic code schemes are compared in terms of their encoding and decoding complexity and the error-correcting performance. Results show that, polar codes with successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding is superior to the LDPC codes and the convolutional codes in the condition of WirelessHP. The result has certain significance for the development of next generation communication technology.
