Reverse Convolutional Precoding of Polar Codes: Design, Analysis, and Decoding Algorithms

Abstract: Convolutionally precoded polar codes known as polarization-adjusted convolutional (PAC) codes are a promising variant of polar codes for short block lengths. The precoding in PAC codes has ...

TextCompressor with compression and decompression algorithms: LZW RLE Huffman Coding algorithm.

For effective compression of text information without loss, three main ones are used methods: LZW (Lempel-Ziv-Welch), RLE (Run-Length Encoding) and Huffman Coding. Each of of these methods has its own ...
