Resistive memories are considered a promising memory technology enabling high storage densities with in-memory computing capabilities. However, the readout reliability of resistive memories is impaired due to the inevitable existence of wire resistance, resulting in the sneak path problem. Motivated by this problem, we study polar coding over channels with different reliability levels, termed non-stationary polar codes, and we propose a technique improving its bit error rate (BER) performance. We then apply the framework of non-stationary polar codes to the crossbar array and evaluate its BER performance under two modeling approaches, namely binary symmetric channels (BSCs) and binary asymmetric channels (BSCs). Finally, we propose a technique for biasing the proportion of high-resistance states in the crossbar array and show its advantage in reducing further the BER. Several simulations are carried out using a SPICE-like simulator, exhibiting significant reduction in BER.
