Design of Polar Codes in 5G New Radio
Polar codes have attracted the attention of academia and industry alike in
the past decade, such that the 5 generation wireless systems (5G)
standardization process of the 3 generation partnership project
(3GPP) chose polar codes as a channel coding scheme. In this tutorial, we
provide a description of the encoding process of polar codes adopted by the 5G
standard. We illustrate the struggles of designing a family of polar codes able
to satisfy the demands of 5G systems, with particular attention to rate
flexibility and low decoding latency. The result of these efforts is an
elaborate framework that applies novel coding techniques to provide a solid
channel code for NR requirements.Comment: to appear in IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorial
