Abstract
Polar codes can be considered serious competitors to turbo codes in terms of performance and complexity. This paper provides a description of the Polar codes and the Turbo codes used by channel coding. Then, we undertake a comparison of Polar codes and Turbo codes based on several factors: BER performance, encoding complexity and decoding computational complexity. The performance of newly obtained codes is evaluated in term of bit error rate (BER) for a given value of Eb/No. It has been shown via computer simulations. They are employed as the error correction scheme over Additive White Gaussian Channels (AWGN) by employing Binary phase shift keying (BPSK) modulation scheme.
