A polar code extension method which supports incremental redundancy hybrid ARQ(IR-HARQ) is proposed in this paper. By copying information bits to proper positions of the extend part, the extended polar code can give additional protection for the bits weakly protected by the first transmission. A comparison between the proposed algorithm with directly generated polar code, LTE turbo code, and some other IR-HARQ supporting polar code is given. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has nearly the same performance as directly generated polar code, which is chosen as base line for comparison.
