In this Letter, a new parity-check-concatenated (PCC) polar code construction that considers the number of minimum Hamming weight (MHW) codewords is proposed. The parity bits to reduce the number of MHW codewords as much as possible is successively constructed. The proposed construction can reduce the number of MHW codewords more than other codes. The results show that the proposed codes can outperform the other codes at a high signal-to-noise region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
