 * \brief Standard systematic successive cancellation (SC) decoder for POLAR codes
 *
 * \details
 * It expects float input with bits mapped 1 --> 1, 0 --> -1
 * Or: f = 2.0 * bit - 1.0
 *
 * Systematic encoding indicates that the info bit values are present in the codeword.
 * 'info_bit_positions' may be obtained by ordering all non frozen_bit_positions in
 * increasing order. One may extract them at their positions after a bit reversal
 * operation. encoder -> decoder chain would need additional bit-reversal after encoding +
 * before decoding. This is unnecessary.
