Coding Schemes in 5G Networks for Error-free Communication

Abstract

The fifth-generation mobile communication network (5G) technology is a significant topic in today`s mobile communication industry. However, due to difficulties in the wireless channel generally, error-free communication is a big challenge. Thus, channel coding is a technology incorporated in the 5G mobile systems for achieving reliable and error-free two-way connections. In terms of data rate, capacity, coverage, latency, energy consumption, and cost, the fifth-generation (5G) communication systems must outperform previous fourth-generation (4G) systems. In this paper, we attempt to compare and evaluate the main characteristics of 5G channel and the performance of channel coding candidates. Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and polar are two capacity-achieving channel coding schemes that we concentrated on here. Block error rate (BLER), bit error rate (BER), computational complexity, and flexibility are all considered while analyzing the system. The results indicate that polar codes outperform the LDPC code systems, although LDPC is reasonable compared to other code systems.
