Stochastic Belief Propagation Polar Decoding with Efficient Re-Randomization

Polar codes, the first class of codes achieving the capacity of symmetric binary-input discrete memoryless channels (B-DMCs), have drawn intensive attentions. For speed-insensitive applications, such as implantable devices, there is a good need on complexity and robustness. In this article, stochastic computing is introduced to allieviate the contradiction between complexity and performance for po...
