ABSTRACT
Designing an efficient decoder is an effective way to improve the performance of polar codes with limited code length. List flip decoders have received attention due to their good performance trade-off between list decoders and flip decoders. In particular, the newly proposed dynamic successive cancellation list flip (D-SCLF) decoder employs a new flip metric to effectively correct high-order errors and thus enhances the performance potential of present list flip decoders. However, this flip metric introduces extra exponential and logarithmic operations, and the number of these operations rises exponentially with the increase in the order of error correction and the number of information bits, which then limits its application value. Therefore, we designed an adaptive list flip (ALF) decoder with a new heuristic simplified flip metric, which replaces these extra nonlinear operations in the original flip metric with linear operations. Simulation results show that the simplified flip metric does not reduce the performance of the D-SCLF decoder. Moreover, based on the in-depth theoretical analyses of the combination of the adaptive list and the list flip decoders, the ALF decoder adopts the adaptive list to further reduce the average complexity.
