| contents | Polar codes are the first error-correcting code proven to achieve channel capacity based on infinite code length. The Successive Cancellation List Flip (SCLF) decoding algorithm was proposed by flipping an erroneous bit during the next decoding attempt. To identify the erroneous bits, the Log-Likelihood Ratio (LLR) is used to indicate the reliability of each decision bit. To improve the accuracy of the erroneous bit prediction, we propose deep-learning-aided (DL-aided) SCLF decoding algorithms. We first offer a stacked LSTM network that contains new features to train our models, which are able to improve the accuracy of the prediction of positions of erroneous bits. Then we separately train the stacked LSTM models to predict the position of both the first and second erroneous bits and whether to continue flipping. As a result, the DL-aided SCLF decoding algorithms based on the proposed stacked LSTM \mbox{flip-1} model, stacked LSTM \mbox{flip-2} model, and the stacked LSTM \mbox{continue-flipping} check (CFC) model are able to provide a better performance at a lower number of average decoding attempts when compared to other state-of-the-art decoding algorithms. |
