Scaling Exponent and Moderate Deviations Asymptotics of Polar Codes for the AWGN Channel

This paper investigates polar codes for the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. The scaling exponent μ of polar codes for a memoryless channel q Y | X with capacity I ( q Y | X ) characterizes the closest gap between the capacity and non-asymptotic achievable ra...
