Abstract
In this paper, we focus on how to further enhance the performance of the channel codes in order to meet the more stringent reliability requirements of future networks (5G and beyond). A general decoder with the aid of partial cyclic redundancy check (CRC) bits is proposed for the polar codes and short low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes in 5G systems. The decoder based on ordered statistic decoding (OSD) method can effectively improve the error-correction performance on the condition that extra CRC bits are used to assist in decoding. Meanwhile, the remaining part of CRC keeps its capability of error-detection to guarantee the undetected error rate low enough. This paper gives the detailed implementation schemes of the partial CRC-aided OSD process and its combination with the conventional decodings of the LDPC/polar codes in 5G systems. The simulation results show our proposed decoding scheme achieves a promising trade-off between the performance gain and the error-detection capabilities.
