Polar coding may be considered as a generalization of Reed-Muller (RM) coding. Here, we demonstrate the performance advantages of polar codes over RM codes under belief-propagation decoding.EnglishPolar codesReed-Muller (RM) codesChannel codingForward error correctionArticle10.1109/LCOMM.2008.0800171558-2558
