Custom MATLAB Implementation of Polar Encoding and Decoding Algorithms

Resource Overview

Self-developed MATLAB program implementing polar coding and decoding algorithms with practical encoding/decoding functionality

Detailed Documentation

I have developed a custom MATLAB implementation of polar encoding and decoding algorithms. This program provides a working solution for performing both encoding and decoding operations. The implementation includes key polar code components such as code construction using Gaussian approximation, recursive encoding structure, and successive cancellation decoding with likelihood ratio calculations. The code features modular design with separate functions for bit-reversal permutation, channel combining, and successive cancellation decision making. It supports configurable code parameters including block length and rate matching, making it suitable for both educational purposes and practical communication system simulations.
