We describe a new concatenated decoding scheme based on iterations between an inner sequentially decoded convolutional code of rate R=1/4 and memory M=23, and block interleaved outer Reed-Solomon (RS) codes with nonuniform profile. With this scheme decoding with good performance is possible as low as Eb/N0=0.6 dB, which is about 1.25 dB below the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) that marks the cutoff rate for the full system. Accounting for about 0.45 dB due to the outer codes, sequential decoding takes place at about 1.7 dB below the SNR cutoff rate for the convolutional code. This is possible since the iteration process provides the sequential decoders with side information that allows a smaller average load and minimizes the probability of computational overflow. Analytical results for the probability that the first RS word is decoded after C computations are presented. These results are supported by simulation results that are also extended to other parameters 相似文献

A versatile Reed-Solomon (RS) decoder structure based on the time-domain decoding algorithm (transform decoding without transforms) is developed. The algorithm is restructured, and a method is given to decode any RS code generated by any generator polynomial. The main advantage of the decoder structure is its versatility, that is, it can be programmed to decode any Reed-Solomon code defined in Galois field (GF) 2m with a fixed symbol size m . This decoder can correct errors and erasures for any RS code, including shortened and singly extended codes. It is shown that the decoder has a very simple structure and can be used to design high-speed single-chip VLSI decoders. As an example, a gate-array-based programmable RS decoder is implemented on a single chip. This decoder chip can decode any RS code defined in GF (25) with any code word length and any number of information symbols. The decoder chip is fabricated using low-power 1.5-μ, two-layer-metal, HCMOS technology 相似文献

This paper presents a two-stage turbo-coding scheme for Reed-Solomon (RS) codes through binary decomposition and self-concatenation. In this scheme, the binary image of an RS code over GF(2/sup m/) is first decomposed into a set of binary component codes with relatively small trellis complexities. Then the RS code is formatted as a self-concatenated code with itself as the outer code and the binary component codes as the inner codes in a turbo-coding arrangement. In decoding, the inner codes are decoded with turbo decoding and the outer code is decoded with either an algebraic decoding algorithm or a reliability-based decoding algorithm. The outer and inner decoders interact during each decoding iteration. For RS codes of lengths up to 255, the proposed two-stage coding scheme is practically implementable and provides a significant coding gain over conventional algebraic and reliability-based decoding algorithms. 相似文献

Algebraic Soft-Decision Decoding (ASD) of Reed–Solomon (RS) codes provides higher coding gain over the conventional hard-decision
decoding (HDD), but involves high computational complexity. Among the existing ASD methods, the Low Complexity Chase (LCC)
decoding is the one with the lowest implementation cost. LCC decoding is based on generating 2
η
test vectors, where η symbols are selected as the least reliable symbols for which hard-decision or the second more reliable decision are employed.
Previous decoding algorithms for LCC decoders are based on interpolation and re-encoding techniques. On the other hand, HDD
algorithms such as the Berlekamp–Massey (BM) algorithm or the Euclidean algorithm, despite of their low computational complexity,
are not considered suitable for LCC decoding. In this paper, we present a new approach to LCC decoding based on one of these
HDD algorithms, the inversion-less Berlekamp–Massey (iBM) algorithm, where the test vectors are selected for correction during
decoding on occurrence of hard-decision decoding failure. The proposed architecture when applied to a RS(255, 239) code with
η=3, saves a 20.5% and 2% of area compared to the LCC with factorization and a factorization-free decoder, respectively. In
both cases, the latency is reduced by 34.5%, which is an increase of throughput rate in the same percentage since the critical
path is the same in all the competing architectures. So an efficiency of at least 56% in terms of area-delay product can be
obtained, compared with previous works. A complete RS(255, 239) LCC decoder with η=3 has been coded in VHDL and synthesized for implementation in Vitex-5 FPGA device, and by using SAED 90 nm standard cell
library as well, and find a decoding rate of 710 Mbps and 4.2 Gbps and area of 2527 slices and 0.36 mm2, respectively. 相似文献

This paper analyzes the performance of concatenated coding systems operating over the binary-symmetric channel (BSC) by examining the loss of capacity resulting from each of the processing steps. The techniques described in this paper allow the separate evaluation of codes and decoders and thus the identification of where loss of capacity occurs. They are, moreover, very useful for the overall design of a communications system, e.g., for evaluating the benefits of inner decoders that produce side information. The first two sections of this paper provide a general technique (based on the coset weight distribution of a binary linear code) for calculating the composite capacity of the code and a BSC in isolation. The later sections examine the composite capacities of binary linear codes, the BSC, and various decoders. The composite capacities of the (8,4) extended Hamming, (24, 12) extended Golay, and (48, 24) quadratic residue codes appear as examples throughout the paper. The calculations in these examples show that, in a concatenated coding system, having an inner decoder provide more information than the maximum-likelihood (ML) estimate to an outer decoder is not a computationally efficient technique, unless generalized minimum-distance decoding of an outer code is extremely easy. Specifically, for the (8,4) extended Hamming and (24, 12) extended Golay inner codes, the gains from using any inner decoder providing side information, instead of a strictly ML inner decoder, are shown to be no greater than 0.77 and 0.34 dB, respectively, for a BSC crossover probability of 0.1 or less, However, if computationally efficient generalized minimum distance decoders for powerful outer codes, e.g., Reed-Solomon codes, become available, they will allow the use of simple inner codes, since both simple and complex inner codes have very similar capacity losses 相似文献

Near-optimum decoding of product codes: block turbo codes 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
This paper describes an iterative decoding algorithm for any product code built using linear block codes. It is based on soft-input/soft-output decoders for decoding the component codes so that near-optimum performance is obtained at each iteration. This soft-input/soft-output decoder is a Chase decoder which delivers soft outputs instead of binary decisions. The soft output of the decoder is an estimation of the log-likelihood ratio (LLR) of the binary decisions given by the Chase decoder. The theoretical justifications of this algorithm are developed and the method used for computing the soft output is fully described. The iterative decoding of product codes is also known as the block turbo code (BTC) because the concept is quite similar to turbo codes based on iterative decoding of concatenated recursive convolutional codes. The performance of different Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH)-BTCs are given for the Gaussian and the Rayleigh channel. Performance on the Gaussian channel indicates that data transmission at 0.8 dB of Shannon's limit or more than 98% (R/C>0.98) of channel capacity can be achieved with high-code-rate BTC using only four iterations. For the Rayleigh channel, the slope of the bit-error rate (BER) curve is as steep as for the Gaussian channel without using channel state information 相似文献

Generalized minimum distance (GMD) decoding of Reed–Solomon (RS) codes can correct more errors than conventional hard-decision decoding by running error-and-erasure decoding multiple times for different erasure patterns. The latency of the GMD decoding can be reduced by the Kötter’s one-pass decoding scheme. This scheme first carries out an error-only hard-decision decoding. Then all pairs of error-erasure locators and evaluators are derived iteratively in one run based on the result of the error-only decoding. In this paper, a more efficient interpolation-based one-pass GMD decoding scheme is studied. Applying the re-encoding and coordinate transformation, the result of erasure-only decoding can be directly derived. Then the locator and evaluator pairs for other erasure patterns are generated iteratively by applying interpolation. A simplified polynomial selection scheme is proposed to pass only one pair of locator and evaluator to successive decoding steps and a low-complexity parallel Chien search architecture is developed to implement this selection scheme. With the proposed polynomial selection architecture, the interpolation can run at the full speed to greatly increase the throughput. After efficient architectures and effective optimizations are employed, a generalized hardware complexity analysis is provided for the proposed interpolation-based decoder. For a (255, 239) RS code, the high-speed interpolation-based one-pass GMD decoder can achieve 53% higher throughput than the Kötter’s decoder with slightly more hardware requirement. In terms of speed-over-area ratio, our design is 51% more efficient. In addition, compared to other soft-decision decoders, the high-speed interpolation-based GMD decoder can achieve better performance-complexity tradeoff. 相似文献

Data transmission in a binary partial-response channel is often accomplished using a concatenated code consisting of an inner modulation code and an outer error-correcting code (ECC). We consider two inner decoders for such a code, each consisting of a reduced-complexity sequence detector modified to provide an estimate of the reliability of each bit. These reliability values are then used by the outer decoder to achieve improved performance. Although one of these decoders is considerably simpler than the other, their performances were comparable in the cases we considered. Both achieve considerable improvement over a decoder that uses hard-decision decoding of the inner code 相似文献

In this article we propose the application of Belief Propagation (BP) algorithm as a novel bit-level soft decision decoding (SDD) technique for Reed-Solomon (RS) codes. A brief tutorial on Belief Propagation algorithm is presented. A central issue in the application of BP algorithm to decoding RS codes is the construction of a sparse parity check matrix for the binary image of the code. It is demonstrated that Vardy's technique may be applied to find a sparse parity check matrix for RS codes. However, this technique is not applicable to all cases. The BP algorithm is applied to two test codes. In one case, simulation models show that the BP algorithm outperforms the hard decision Euclidean decoding by more than 2 dB of additional coding gain. The results with the second test code are not as promising. 相似文献

Zigzag codes and concatenated zigzag codes 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

This paper introduces a family of error-correcting codes called zigzag codes. A zigzag code is described by a highly structured zigzag graph. Due to the structural properties of the graph, very low-complexity soft-in/soft-out decoding rules can be implemented. We present a decoding rule, based on the Max-Log-APP (MLA) formulation, which requires a total of only 20 addition-equivalent operations per information bit, per iteration. Simulation of a rate-1/2 concatenated zigzag code with four constituent encoders with interleaver length 65 536, yields a bit error rate (BER) of 10-5 at 0.9 dB and 1.3 dB away from the Shannon limit by optimal (APP) and low-cost suboptimal (MLA) decoders, respectively. A union bound analysis of the bit error probability of the zigzag code is presented. It is shown that the union bounds for these codes can be generated very efficiently. It is also illustrated that, for a fixed interleaver size, the concatenated code has increased code potential as the number of constituent encoders increases. Finally, the analysis shows that zigzag codes with four or more constituent encoders have lower error floors than comparable turbo codes with two constituent encoders 相似文献

Techniques using Reed-Solomon (RS) codes to recover lost packets in digital video/audio broadcasting and packet switched network communications are reviewed. Usually, different RS codes and their corresponding encoders/decoders are designed and utilized to meet different requirements for different systems and applications. We incorporate these techniques into a variable RS code and present encoding and decoding algorithms suitable for the variable RS code. A mother RS code can be used to produce a variety of RS codes and the same encoder/decoder can be used for all the derivative codes, with adding/detecting zeros, removing some parity symbols and adding erasures. A VLSI implementation for erasure decoding of the variable RS code is described and the achievable performance is quantitatively analyzed. A typical example shows that the signal processing speed is up to 2.5 Gbits/second and the processing delay is less than one millisecond, when integrating the decoder on a single chip. Therefore, the proposed algorithm and the encoder/decoder can universally be utilized for different applications with various requirements, such as transmission data rate, packet length, packet loss protection capacity, as well as layered protection and adaptive redundancy protection in DVB/DAB, Internet and mobile Internet communications. 相似文献

We construct parity-concatenated trellis codes in which a trellis code is used as the inner code and a simple parity-check code is used as the outer code. From the Tanner-Wiberg-Loeliger (1981, 1996) graph representation, several iterative decoding algorithms can be derived. However, since the graph of the parity-concatenated code contains many short cycles, the conventional min-sum and sum-product algorithms cannot achieve near-optimal decoding. After some simple modifications, we obtain near-optimal iterative decoders. The modifications include either (a) introducing a normalization operation in the min-sum and sum-product algorithms or (b) cutting the short cycles which arise in the iterative Viterbi algorithm (IVA). After modification, all three algorithms can achieve near-optimal performance, but the IVA has the least average complexity. We also show that asymptotically maximum-likelihood (ML) decoding and a posteriori probability (APP) decoding can be achieved using iterative decoders with only two iterations. Unfortunately, this asymptotic behavior is only exhibited when the bit-energy-to-noise ratio is above the cutoff rate. Simulation results show that with trellis shaping, iterative decoding can perform within 1.2 dB of the Shannon limit at a bit error rate (BER) of 4×10-5 for a block size of 20000 symbols. For a block size of 200 symbols, iterative decoding can perform within 2.1 dB of the Shannon limit 相似文献

Memory-Reduced Maximum A Posteriori Probability Decoding for High-Throughput Parallel Turbo Decoders
Wireless communication standards make use of parallel turbo decoder for higher data rate at the cost of large hardware resources. This paper presents a memory-reduced back-trace technique, which is based on a new method of estimating backward-recursion factors, for the maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) decoding. Mathematical reformulations of branch-metric equations are performed to reduce the memory requirement of branch metrics for each trellis stage. Subsequently, an architecture of MAP decoder and its scheduling based on the proposed back trace as well as branch-metric reformulation are presented in this work. Comparative analysis of bit-error-rate (BER) performances in additive white Gaussian noise channel environment for MAP as well as parallel turbo decoders are carried out. It has shown that a MAP decoder with a code rate of 1/2 and a parallel turbo decoder with a code rate of 1/3 have achieved coding gains of 1.28 dB at a BER of 10\(^{-5}\) and of 0.4 dB at a BER of 10\(^{-4}\), respectively. In order to meet high-data-rate benchmarks of recently deployed wireless communication standards, very large scale integration implementations of parallel turbo decoder with 8–64 MAP decoders have been reported. Thereby, savings of hardware resources by such parallel turbo decoders based on the suggested memory-reduced techniques are accounted in terms of complementary metal oxide semiconductor transistor count. It has shown that the parallel turbo decoder with 32 and 64 MAP decoders has shown hardware savings of 34 and 44 % respectively. 相似文献
