چکیده

A 1024-b, rate-1/2, soft decision low-density paritycheck (LDPC) code decoder has been implemented that matches the coding gain of equivalent turbo codes. The decoder features a parallel architecture that supports a maximum throughput of 1 Gb/s while performing 64 decoder iterations. The parallel architecture enables rapid convergence in the decoding algorithm to be translated into low decoder switching activity resulting in a power dissipation of only 690 mW from a 1.5-V supply.

Low Power IEEE 802.11n LDPC Decoder Hardware

In this paper, we present a low power hybrid low-density-parity-check (LDPC) decoder hardware implementing layered min-sum decoding algorithm for IEEE 802.11n Wireless LAN Standard. The LDPC decoder hardware, which has 27 check node datapaths and 24x162 variable node memory, is implemented in Verilog HDL and verified to work correctly in a Xilinx Virtex II FPGA. For 648 block length and 1/2 cod...

Reduced-complexity column-layered decoding and implementation for LDPC codes

Layered decoding is well appreciated in Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) decoder implementation since it can achieve effectively high decoding throughput with low computation complexity. This work, for the first time, addresses low complexity column-layered decoding schemes and VLSI architectures for multi-Gb/s applications. At first, the Min-Sum algorithm is incorporated into the column-layered...

An FPGA Design of Generalized Low-density Parity-check Codes for Rate-adaptive Optical Transport Networks

Forward error correction (FEC) is as one of the key technologies enabling the next-generation high-speed fiber optical communications. In this paper, we propose a rate-adaptive scheme using a class of generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes with a Hamming code as local code. We show that with the proposed unified GLDPC decoder architecture, a variable net coding gains (NCGs) can be a...

A Split-Decoding Message Passing Algorithm for Low Density Parity Check Decoders

A Split decoding algorithm is proposed which divides each row of the parity check matrix into two or multiple nearly-independent simplified partitions. The proposed method significantly reduces the wire interconnect and decoder complexity and therefore results in fast, small, and high energy efficiency circuits. Three full-parallel decoder chips for a (2048, 1723) LDPC code compliant with the 1...

Area-Efficient Min-Sum Decoder Design for High-Rate QC-LDPC Codes in Magnetic Recording

This paper presents a silicon area efficient quasicyclic (QC) low-density parity-check (LDPC) code decoder design solution, which is geared to magnetic recording that demands high code rate and very high decoding throughput under stringent silicon cost constraint. The key of this proposed design solution is to transform the conventional formulation of the MinSum decoding algorithm in such a way...
