Abstract
In 2009, polar codes, proposed by Arikan, are theoretically proven codes to achieve capacity with acceptable encoding and decoding complexity. Currently, polar codes using channel polarization phenomenon are studied in security and data compression fields etc. In this paper, we consider the practical communication system and propose the construction method of polar codes with finite length and fixed code rate. Also, we show the outstanding performance and corresponding construction method of polar codes found by heuristic simulation.
