contents This work introduces coset Bombe codes, a novel class of multilevel coset codes that generalize polar codes to dense lattice structures. By leveraging multilevel coding with non-binary codes designed for the lattice modulations and making use of Voronoi shaping, Bombe codes integrate the geometric strengths of dense lattices such as $D_4$ with the capacity-approaching properties of polar codes. Experimental results in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels demonstrate that coset Bombe codes significantly outperform both BICM and MLC state-of-the-art schemes on 16-QAM. The proposed scheme simulated on AWGN achieves up to 0.8 dB of gain and reduces block size latency by half while maintaining superior bit and block error rate (BER/BLER) performance on codewords of 256 and 1024 bits.
