Capacity-Achieving Polar Codes for Arbitrarily-Permuted Parallel Channels

Channel coding over arbitrarily-permuted parallel channels was first studied by Willems et al. (2008). This paper introduces capacity-achieving polar coding schemes for arbitrarily-permuted parallel channels where the component channels are memoryless, binary-input and output-symmetric

Secrecy-Achieving Polar-Coding for Binary-Input Memoryless Symmetric Wire-Tap Channels

A polar coding scheme is introduced in this paper for the wire-tap channel. It is shown that the provided scheme achieves the entire rate-equivocation region for the case of symmetric and degraded wire-tap channel, where the weak notion of secrecy is assumed. For the particular case of binary erasure wire-tap channel, an alternative proof is given. The case of general non-degraded wire-tap channels is also considered
