How to Achieve All for 5G Polar Codes, and Beyond<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Polar codes are a class of error-correcting codes that can provably achieve channel capacity and have simple encoding and decoding mechanisms. Due to their attractive properties, the interest in polar codes has been increasing rapidly in recent years and they have been adopted for use in the 5th generation (5G) wireless systems standard. Different use cases in 5G prioritize various requirements. For example, ultra-HD video streaming demand high throughput, autonomous driving requires low latency, and battery-operated devices have a focus on energy efficiency. To reach the 5G decoding performance, conventional polar decoder algorithms can be complex and costly, and often require trade-offs between throughput, performance, and power consumption.<\/p>\n<p>In this talk, we will first delve into how polar decoders work in theory, and what it takes to realize them in practice. Then, we will visit existing implementation issues of polar codes. After, we will explore simple polar decoding algorithms that can meet the performance of complex algorithms in practical and efficient implementations. We show that unlike the conventional trade-off between the throughput, power consumption, and energy efficiency, achieving all is possible using the proposed algorithms and implementations. Moving forward, we will take an introductory look into an emerging universal algorithm, Guessing Random Additive Noise Decoding, with its outstanding performance on error correction and energy efficiency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Furkan Ercan<\/strong> is currently a Postdoctoral Associate with the WISE-Circuits group, working with Prof. Rabia Yazicigil. He received his Ph.D. degree from Integrated Systems for Information Processing (ISIP) Lab at McGill University in 2020. His Ph.D. research featured the development of practical algorithms and implementations of Polar Codes, the newest channel coding scheme embodied in the 5G wireless communications standard. He received B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from Middle East Technical University in 2011 and 2015, respectively. In between his academic journey, Furkan also took roles in industry; he worked at Intel Corporation (2011-2012) as a visiting researcher, focusing on system-level energy efficiency; and at Octasic Inc. (2020-2021), focusing on 5G physical layer development.<\/p>\n<p>Furkan&#8217;s current research is on the development of Guessing Random Additive Noise Decoding, a powerful universal decoding algorithm that can virtually work with any coding scheme ever designed. He enjoys developing decoder algorithms, realizing them in software, and implementing them in hardware. Furkan actively serves as a reviewer for numerous distinguished journals and conferences, and he is the recipient of several prestigious awards on teaching, research, fellowship, and professional volunteering.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Faculty Host:<\/strong> Rabia Yazicigil<br \/>\n<strong>Student Host:<\/strong> Yuhe Chang<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 22, 2022 3:00-4:00pm Hybrid Event Photonics Center (PHO),\u00a08 St. Mary&#8217;s St,\u00a0Room 210 High Throughput, Low Power, or Energy Efficiency?
