  text: 'We present a rate-compatible polar coding scheme that achieves the capacity
    of any family of channels. Our solution generalizes the previous results [1],
    [2] that provide capacity-achieving rate-compatible polar codes for a degraded
    family of channels. The motivation for our extension comes from the fact that
    in many practical scenarios, e.g., MIMO systems and non-Gaussian interference,
    the channels cannot be ordered by degradation. The main technical contribution
    of this paper consists in removing the degradation condition. To do so, we exploit
    the ideas coming from the construction of universal polar codes. Our scheme possesses
    the usual attractive features of polar codes: low complexity code construction,
    encoding, and decoding; super-polynomial scaling of the error probability with
    the block length; and absence of error floors. On the negative side, the scaling
    of the gap to capacity with the block length is slower than in standard polar
    codes, and we prove an upper bound on the scaling exponent.'
