TL;DR
This paper introduces a new bit-level construction method for non-binary polar codes that improves decoding performance by optimizing bit allocation in synthesized channels.
Contribution
The novel bit-level construction method for MR-based non-binary polar codes optimizes bit allocation using error probability and channel capacity.
Findings
Bit-level construction improves decoding performance compared to conventional symbol-level methods.

Probabilistic shaping further enhances performance in MR-based non-binary polar codes.
Abstract
In this paper, we discuss non-binary polar codes using a 2×2 matrix over a Galois field GF(2q) as the kernel. Conventional construction of non-binary polar codes divides the synthesized channels into frozen channels and information channels. Each information channel carries one symbol, i.e., q bits. However, there are many middle channels with insufficient polarization, which cannot carry one symbol of q bits but only i bits, 1≤i<q,i∈Z, at finite block length. In this paper, we consider bit-level construction for multiplicative repetition (MR)-based non-binary polar codes and propose a bit-level construction based on the two following methods. We first calculate the error probability and channel capacity lower bound of each synthesized channel based on the channel degradation method, and then determine both the number and index of the carried bits for each synthesized channel according…
