Last Subcode Neural Network Assisted Polar Decoding

A fast successive-cancellation decoding scheme based on neural network (NNFSCD) called last subcode neural network assisted decoding (LSNNACD) scheme for polar codes is proposed to improve decoding performance. First, a neural network node (NNN) is proposed and a neutral network model is trained to decode it. Then, the node recognizer is proposed to recognize a polar code with a NNN. Simulations with polar codes and binary phase shift keying (BPSK) shows good performance and low latency in the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. Moreover, the proposed scheme has a wide application range.
