Abstract

Theoretically, conventional decoders for polar codes can be entirely replaced by neural network (NN) with enough size and enough training, which called NN decoder. But the exponentially increasing training complexity becomes unacceptable when information length increases, which means only decoders for short codes can be trained practically. However, a successive cancellation (SC) decoder for long polar codes can be divided into several SC decoders for short codes, which can be replaced by several short codes NN decoders, then the whole decoder becomes our NN aided SC (NNSC) decoder. Besides, we defined Universal Set of NN, which can be combined into NNSC decoders for any long polar codes. In this paper, the main purpose of constructing NNSC decoder is increasing decoding efficiency of polar codes by taking advantage of NN, and in the meantime ensuring an acceptable performance compared to conventional decoding algorithms.
