The probabilistic shaping scheme from Honda and Yamamoto (2013) for polar codes is used to enable power-efficient signaling for on-off keying (OOK). As OOK has a non-symmetric optimal input distribution, shaping approaches that are based on the concatenation of a distribution matcher followed by systematic encoding do not result in optimal signaling. Instead, these approaches represent a time sharing scheme where only a fraction of the codeword symbols is shaped. The proposed scheme uses a polar code for joint distribution matching and forward error correction which enables asymptotically optimal signaling. Numerical simulations show a gain of 1.8 dB compared to uniform transmission at a spectral efficiency of 0.25 bits/channel use for a blocklength of 65,536 bits.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
