contents CRC-Polar codes under SC list decoding are well-regarded for their competitive error performance. This paper examines these codes by focusing on minimum weight codewords, breaking them down into the rows of the polar transform. Inspired by the significant impact of parity check bits and their positions, we apply a shifted rate-profile for polarization-adjusted convolutional (PS-PAC) codes, thereby achieving similar improvements in the weight distribution of polar codes through precoding. The results demonstrate a significant improvement in error performance, achieving up to a 0.5 dB power gain with short PS-PAC codes. Additionally, leveraging convolutional precoding in PAC codes, we adopt a continuous deployment (masking) of parity check bits derived from the remainder of continuous division of the partial message polynomial and the CRC polynomial over frozen positions in the rate-profile. This approach enhances performance for medium-length codes, with an overall improvement of 0.12 dB.
