Abstract

This paper devotes to comparison of different coding schemes (various constructions of Polar and LDPC codes, Product codes and BCH codes) for the case when information is transmitted over AWGN channel with quantization with lowest possible complexity and resolution: 1-bit. We examine performance (in terms of Frame-error-rate -- FER) for schemes mentioned above and give some reasoning for results we obtained. Also we give some recommendations for choosing coding schemes for a given code rate and code length.
