Abstract :
Polar codes are demonstrated to be instances of both generalized concatenated codes and multilevel codes. It is shown that Gaussian approximation for density evolution enables one to accurately predict the performance of polar codes. A construction of generalized concatenated codes is proposed, which is based on the equal error probability design rule originally developed in the context of multilevel codes.
