Theses

Theses in Progress

Efficient Decoding of Tailbiting Convolutional Codes

Description

The aim of this thesis is to study decoding of tailbiting convolutional codes, a class of codes suited for short blocklengths. We address their efficient decoding as well as applications to communication systems with feedback.

Decoder Design for Precoded Polar Product Codes

Description

The aim of this thesis is to enhance decoding algorithms for precoded polar product codes. We make use of successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding to generate reliability information and scale it based on the maximization of generalized mutual information.
