Abstract

In this letter, a modified message passing algorithm to prevent short cycles in the factor graph is proposed and combined with a relaxation technique to improve the performance of cyclic redundancy check aided belief propagation decoding for polar codes. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme can achieve a 0.7 dB coding gain, for the code rate of 0.5 at the block error rate of 10−5 with a comparable average number of iterations over the pure belief propagation decoding scheme when the code block length is 1024.
