Rateless Polar-Spinal Coding Scheme With Enhanced Information Unequal Error Protection

IEEE Access, 2019
In this paper, a rateless coding scheme with enhanced unequal error protection (UEP) property is proposed by concatenating the systematic polar code (SPC) and spinal code, where SPC is used as the outer code and spinal code is the inner code.
