Encoding in polar codes is done by the splitting of the total codeword of length N into message bits and frozen bits (least reliable or worst channels). The message of length K bits should be always less than or equal to the codeword length N (K<=N). A vector u of length N bits is formed with N-K as the frozen positions and the remaining positions as the message positions. The frozen positions are always set to zero. Encoding is performed in a bottom to top fashion, that is, the bits at the bottom are evaluated first and then we move towards the top. Figure 35.2 shows the process of encoding for N=4 codeword.

Invented in 2008 by Erdal Arikan (see Arikan 2009), polar codes constitute a new family of linear codes. The original construction of polar codes relies on a different intuition than the construction of LDPC codes. Rather than focusing on the parity-check matrix, a probabilistic phenomenon called “channel polarization” is used to guide the code construction. We next explain this phenomenon in the source setting, which is also called the “source polarization.”

Arikan invented a class of linear block codes called Polar codes (2009). Arikan and Telatar (2008) derived equation (3) to calculate the probability of error for polar codes in a binary memoryless symmetric channel (BMSC):
