Detailed Description

POLAR encoder for basic details see 'polar_common' class.

expects values with MSB first. It needs a full information word and encodes it in one pass. Output is a codeword of block_size.

Member Function Documentation

generic_work()

void gr::fec::code::polar_encoder::generic_work ( void *  in_buffer, void *  out_buffer  )

virtual

Implements gr::fec::generic_encoder.

get_input_conversion()

const char* gr::fec::code::polar_encoder::get_input_conversion ( )

inlinevirtual

Set up a conversion type required to setup the data properly for this encoder. The encoder itself will not implement the conversion and expects an external wrapper (e.g., fec.extended_encoder) to read this value and "do the right thing" to format the data.

The default behavior is 'none', which means no conversion is required. Whatever the get_input_item_size() value returns, the input is expected to conform directly to this. Generally, this means unpacked bytes.

If 'pack', the block expects the inputs to be packed bytes. The wrapper should implement a gr::blocks::pack_k_bits_bb(8) block for this.

The child class MAY implement this function. If not reimplemented, it returns "none".

Reimplemented from gr::fec::generic_encoder.

get_input_size()

int gr::fec::code::polar_encoder::get_input_size ( )

inlinevirtual

Returns the input size in items that the encoder object uses to encode a full frame. Often, this number is the number of bits per frame if the input format is unpacked. If the block expects packed bytes, then this value should be the number of bytes (number of bits / 8) per input frame.

The child class MUST implement this function.

Implements gr::fec::generic_encoder.

get_output_conversion()

const char* gr::fec::code::polar_encoder::get_output_conversion ( )

inlinevirtual

Set up a conversion type required to understand the output style of this encoder. Generally an encoder will produce unpacked bytes with a bit set in the LSB.

The default behavior is 'none', which means no conversion is required and the encoder produces unpacked bytes.

If 'packed_bits', the block produces packed bits and the wrapper should unpack these (using, for instance, gr::block::unpack_k_bits_bb(8)).

The child class MAY implement this function. If not reimplemented, it returns "none".

Reimplemented from gr::fec::generic_encoder.

get_output_size()

int gr::fec::code::polar_encoder::get_output_size ( )

inlinevirtual

Returns the output size in items that the encoder object produces after encoding a full frame. Often, this number is the number of bits in the outputted frame if the input format is unpacked. If the block produces packed bytes, then this value should be the number of bytes (number of bits / 8) per frame produced. This value is generally something like R*get_input_size() for a 1/R rate code.

The child class MUST implement this function.

Implements gr::fec::generic_encoder.

make()

static generic_encoder::sptr gr::fec::code::polar_encoder::make ( int  block_size, int  num_info_bits, std::vector< int >  frozen_bit_positions, std::vector< char >  frozen_bit_values, bool  is_packed = false  )

static

Factory for a polar code encoder object.

Parameters

block_size	defines the codeword size. It MUST be a power of 2.
num_info_bits	represents the number of information bits in a block. Also called frame_size.
frozen_bit_positions	is an integer vector which defines the position of all frozen bits in a block. Its size MUST be equal to block_size - num_info_bits. Also it must be sorted and every position must only occur once.
frozen_bit_values	holds an unpacked byte for every frozen bit position. It defines if a frozen bit is fixed to '0' or '1'. Defaults to all ZERO.
is_packed	choose 1 active bit/byte or 8 active bit/byte. if false, VOLK polar encoder is used.

rate()

double gr::fec::code::polar_encoder::rate ( )

inlinevirtual

Returns the rate of the code. For every 1 input bit, there are r output bits, so the rate is 1/r. Used for setting things like the encoder block's relative rate.

This function MUST be reimplemented by the child class.

Implements gr::fec::generic_encoder.

set_frame_size()

bool gr::fec::code::polar_encoder::set_frame_size ( unsigned int  frame_size )

inlinevirtual

Updates the size of the frame to encode.

The child class MUST implement this function and interpret how the frame_size information affects the block's behavior. It should also provide bounds checks.

Implements gr::fec::generic_encoder.
