On the Construction of Polar Codes in the Middleton Class-A Channels

Although power line communication (PLC) systems are available everywhere, unfortunately these systems are not suitable for information transmission due to the effects of the impulsive noise. Therefore, many previous studies on channel codes have been carried out for the purpose of reducing the impulsive noise in such channels. This paper investigates some methods for the construction of polar codes under PLC systems in the presence of Middleton class-A noise. We discuss here the most feasible construction methods which already have been adopted with other channels. In addition, we present an illustrative example for the construction in these methods and also we discuss a comparison between the methods in terms of performance.
