Area-efficient analog decoder design for low density parity check codes in deep-space applications

Area-efficient design methodology is proposed for the analog decoding implementations of the rate-½ accumulate repeat-4 jagged-accumulate (AR4JA) low density parity check (LDPC) code. The proposed approach is designed using optimized decoding architecture and regularized routing network, in such a way that the overall wiring overhead is minimized and the silicon area utilization is significantly improved. The prototyping chip used to verify the approach is fully integrated in a four-metal double-poly 0.35 μm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, and includes an input-output interface that maximizes the decoder throughput. The decoding core area is 2.02 mm² with a post-layout area utilization of 80%. The decoder was successfully tested at the maximum data rate of 10 Mbit/s, with a core power consumption of 6.78 mW at 3.3 V, which corresponds to an energy per decoded bit of 0.677 nJ. The proposed analog LDPC decoder with low processing power and high-reliability is suitable for space- and power-constrained spacecraft system.     

A new generation of modems for power efficient radio systems

A new class of generalized intersymbol-interference and jitter-free (GIJF) modulated signals is introduced. Computer simulation and hardware experimental research results demonstrate that our proposed new generation of signals and modulators leads to significant performance improvements in non-linearly amplified broadband radio systems. For increased power efficiency, non-linear amplification is required in most commercial satellite and terrestrial microwave systems. In particular, we demonstrate that the 3 dB envelope fluctuation of currently used offset raised-cosine overlapped QPSK systems is reduced to 0-5 dB, and that the BER performance is improved by approximately 1 dB. These significant technical performance advantages are expected to lead to more economical implementations of digital transmission systems.     

An area efficient and high throughput multi-rate quasi-cyclic LDPC decoder for IEEE 802.11n applications

In this paper, an area efficient and high throughput multi-rate quasi-cyclic low-density parity-check (QC-LDPC) decoder for IEEE 802.11n applications is proposed. An overlapped message passing scheme and the non-uniform quantization scheme are incorporated to reduce the overall area and power of the proposed QC-LDPC decoder. In order to enhance the decoding throughput and reduce the size of memories storing soft messages, an improved early termination (ET) scheme and base matrix reordering technique is employed. These techniques significantly reduce the total number of decoding iterations and memory accessing conflicts without mitigating the decoding performance. Equipped with these techniques an area efficient and high throughput multi-rate QC-LDPC decoder is designed, simulated and implemented with Xilinx Virtex6 (XC6VLX760-2FF1760) for an irregular LDPC code of length 1944 and code rates (1/2–5/6) specified in IEEE 802.11n standard. With a maximum clock frequency of 574.136–587.458 MHz the proposed QC-LDPC decoder can achieve throughput in the range of 1.27–2.17 Gb/s for 10 decoding iterations. Furthermore, by using Cadence RTL compiler with UMC 130 nm VLSI technology, the core area of the proposed QC-LDPC decoder is found to be 1.42 mm² with a power dissipation in the range of 101.25–140.42 mW at 1.2 V supply voltage.     

High performance parallel turbo decoder with configurable interleaving network for LTE application

In this paper, a high performance parallel turbo decoder is designed to support 188 block sizes in the 3rd generation partnership (3GPP) long term evolution (LTE) standard. A novel configurable quadratic permutation polynomial (QPP) multistage network and address generator are proposed to reduce the complexity of interleaving. This 2ⁿ-input network can be configured to support any 2ⁱ-input $(0\le i\le n)$ network. Furthermore, it can flexibly support arbitrary contention-free interleavers by cascading an additional specially designed network. In addition, an optimized decoding schedule scheme is presented to reduce the performance loss caused by high parallelism. Memory architecture and address mapping method are optimized to avoid memory access contention of small blocks. Moreover, a dual-mode add–compare–select (ACS) unit implementing both radix-2 and radix-4 recursion is proposed to support the block sizes that are not divided by 16. Implemented in 130 nm CMOS technology, the design achieves 384.3 Mbps peak throughput at clock rate of 290 MHz with 5.5 iterations. Consuming 4.02 mm² core area and 716 mW power, the decoder has a 1.81 bits/cycle/iteration/mm² architecture efficiency and a 0.34 nJ/bit/iteration energy efficiency, which is competitive with other recent works.

A new family of 2D variable-weight optical orthogonal codes for OCDMA systems supporting multiple QoS and analysis of its performance

A new family of two-dimensional variable-weight and constant-length optical orthogonal codes (2D VWOOCs) is proposed, and the code cardinality and BER performance for the corresponding OCDMA system are analyzed in this article. It is shown that the cardinality of 2D VWOOC is larger than that of constant-weight 2D OOC and close to the upper bound in theory. In an OCDMA network, the users employing 2D VWOOC codewords with larger Hamming weight outperform the users using 2D VWOOC codewords with smaller Hamming weight in bit-error-rate performance. Therefore, the OCDMA network employing 2D VWOOC can support diverse quality-of-services (QoS) classes and multimedia services, and make the better use of bandwidth resources in optical networks.

A Novel GPS-free Method for Mobile Unit Global Positioning in Outdoor Wireless Environments

This paper investigates a Global Positioning system (GPS)-free positioning method for mobile units (MUs) in outdoor wireless environments by using the Bayesian filtering formulation. The procedure utilizes simulated inertial measurements, cell-ID of the serving base station, and pre-determined locations grouped according to cell antennas radio coverage in the experimentation area. The developed algorithm makes no assumptions on the initial position of the MU. However, the algorithm takes some time to converge. Experiments show the range of inertial measurement errors that would maintain reliable location information with accuracy comparable to GPS positioning.
