Design, Comparision and UVM Based Verification of Encoder Architectures for Protracted Polar Codes
Abstract
The channel achieving capacity of polar codes is one of the main reasons for the popularity of polar codes. The
codes of long bit width are called protracted polar codes. They find application in designs that operate on long bit widths.
Protracted polar codes have proven to be very efficient in error correcting capability. There is architecture present to encode
polar codes. The existent design is intuitive and is easy to implement. But the VLSI perspective of the conventional encoder
is not practical as area and power consumption is more. So a partially parallel polar encoder design is implemented in order
to reduce the power consumption and also reduce the number of cells used in the design. The conventional and partially
parallel polar encoders are implemented and are also verified in UVM based verification environment.
