The tasks expected of students which must be evidenced in the submitted group project report include
the following:
1) Research about polar codes, including their inventors, their history, strengths, weaknesses and
future. Provide good references about the subject matter using in the correct manner the IEEE
referencing style. Give appropriate credit to work cited.
2) Present the mathematical theory behind polar codes in the most and precise correct manner. Give
appropriate credit to work cited.
3) Present the mathematical theory behind the SCD algorithm in the most and precise correct manner.
Give appropriate credit to work cited.
4) Write a MATLAB/SIMULINK code that can be used to encode data using polar codes. Use an example
to test the correctness of your design. Copy your MATLAB script and/or Simulink block diagram and
paste in the appendix of your report.
5) Write a MATLAB/SIMULINK code to implement the SCD algorithm that is used to decode or retrieve
the original data from polar coded words. Use an example to test the correctness of your design. Copy
your MATLAB script and/or Simulink block diagram and paste in the appendix of your report.
