Low Complexity Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Decoder Architecture for IEEE 802.11n
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a fully pipelined LDPC decoder for 802.11n standard that supports variable block sizes and multiple code rates. The proposed architecture utilizes features of Quasi-Cyclic LDPC codes and layered decoding to reduce memory bits and interconnection complexity through efficient utilization of permutation network for forward and backward interconnection routing. Permutation network reorganization reduced the overall resources required for routing, thus reducing the overall decoder dynamic power consumption. Proposed architecture has been synthesized using Virtex-6 FPGA and achieved 19% reduction in dynamic power consumption, 5% less logic resources and 12% increase in throughput.

A low latency, low power LDPC decoder design is presented in the paper. Partial-parallel check node processors are designed to reduce the decoding latency with moderate complexity; the parity check matrices of the LDPC codes are column-wise reordered to facilitate the parallel processing. Meanwhile, an efficient early stopping algorithm is proposed to stop the ‘undecodable’ words so that at lea...
