Joint Source-Channel Decoding ASIP Architecture for Sensor Networks

چکیده
In a sensor network, exploiting the correlation among different sources allows a significant reduction of the transmitted energy at the cost of a complex decoder scheme. This paper introduces the first hardware implementation for joint source-channel decoding of correlated sources. Specifically, a dual-clustered VLIW processor with a highly optimized datapath is presented.

Joint channel-network coding strategies for networks with low-complexity relays
We investigate joint network and channel coding schemes for networks when relay nodes are not capable of performing channel coding operations. Rather, channel encoding is performed at the source node while channel decoding is done only at the destination nodes. We examine three different decoding strategies: independent network-then-channel decoding, serial network and channel decoding, and joi...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Application Specific Source Coding for Wireless Sensor Networks
The energy bottleneck in Wireless Sensor Network(WSN) can be reduced by limiting communication overhead. Application specific source coding schemes for the sensor networks provide fewer bits to represent the same amount of information exploiting the redundancy present in the source model, network architecture and the physical process. This paper reports the performance of representative codes f...
متن کاملFlexible iterative receiver architecture for wireless sensor networks: a joint source and channel coding design example
Due to their computational complexity, iterative decoder components such as source and channel decoders are usually implemented using specialized dedicated hardware. This leads to the scenario where each different iterative decoder component of the receiver requires its own hardware. Owing to their relatively high complexity, many capacity-approaching techniques proposed in the literature have ...
متن کاملHybrid Coding: An Interface for Joint Source-Channel Coding and Network Communication
A new approach to joint source–channel coding is presented in the context of communicating correlated sources over multiple access channels. Similar to the separation architecture, the joint source– channel coding system architecture in this approach is modular, whereby the source encoding and channel decoding operations are decoupled. However, unlike the separation architecture, the same codew...
متن کاملJoint network/channel decoding for heterogeneous multi-source/multi-relay cooperative networks
In this paper, we study joint network/channel decoding for multi–source multi–relay heterogeneous wireless networks. When convolutional and network codes are used at the physical and network layers, respectively, we show that error correction and diversity properties of the whole network can be characterized by an equivalent and distributed convolutional network/channel code. In particular, it ...
