Abstract

Abstract : In this Letter, a list decoding algorithm is proposed for the semi‐random block‐oriented convolutional code (SRBO‐CC). To decode each sub‐frame, a list of candidates are serially computed until finding a qualified one or achieving maximum list, where the correctness of the decoding candidate is checked by a statistical threshold. Simulation results show that SRBO‐CC with list decoding is competitive with polar codes and that the performance‐complexity tradeoffs can be achieved by adjusting the statistical threshold.
