A Parallel Decoding Algorithm for Short Polar Codes Based on Error Checking and Correcting by Yingxian Zhang, Xiaofei Pan, Kegang Pan, Zhan Ye, Chao Gong

“…We propose a parallel decoding algorithm based on error checking and correcting to improve the performance of the short polar codes. In order to enhance the error-correcting capacity of the decoding algorithm, we first derive the error-checking equations generated on the basis of the frozen nodes, and then we introduce the method to check the errors in the input nodes of the decoder by the solutions of these equations. …”
