Polar Encoder / Decoder for 3GPP 5G NR

Overview

The patented polar encoding and decoding IP for the 3GPP New Radio uplink and downlink includes the entire processing chain, to provide quick and easy integration and minimize the amount of extra work needed. The polar core uses PC- and CRC-aided SCL polar decoding techniques, in order to achieve compromise-free error correction performance. The  decoding IP has several parameters, which can be adjusted at synthesis-time to scale the parallelism, latency and throughput. The decoder list size can be reduced from the typical list 8, in order to best fit the required application.
