Abstract:<div>In this paper, we propose a heuristic algorithm for rate-profile construction of Arikan's Polarization Assisted Convolutional (PAC) codes. This method can be used for any blocklength, rate and convolutional precoding polynomial. The proposed algorithm tries to create a rate-profile for which the corresponding PAC code is, in a sense, locally optimized for having maximum possible minimum distance.</div><div>Simulation results show that PAC codes constructed with the proposed algorithm per… Show more
