In this paper, We design RS(255,239) decoder with modified Euclidean algorithm, which show polynomic coefficient state machine instead of calculating coefficients of modified Euclidean algorithm. This design can reduce complexity and implement High-speed Read Solomon decoder. Additionally, we have synthesized with Xilinx XC4VLX60. From synthesis, it can operate at clock frequency of 77.4MHz, and gate count is 20,710.

For large capacity optical CDMA networks, we propose a shared-type encoder/decoders based on an tunable wavelength converter(TWC) and an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) router. The proposed encoder/decoder treats codewords of wavelength/time 2-D code simultaneously using the dynamic code allocation property of the TWC and the cyclic property of the AWG router, and multiple subscribers can share the encoder/decoder in networks. Feasibility of the structure of the proposed encoder/decoder for dynamic code allocation is tested through simulations using two wavelength/time 2-D codes, which are the generalized multi-wavelength prime code(GMWPC) and the generalized multi-wavelength Reed-Solomon code(GMWRSC). Test results show that the proposed encoder/decoder can increase the channel efficiency not only by increasing the number of simultaneous users without any multiple-access interference but by using a relatively short length CDMA codes.

This paper describes an analysis of optimal design conditions of multi-mode LDPC(low density parity check) decoder which supports three block lengths (648, 1296, 1944) and four code rates (1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6) for IEEE 802.11n WLAN system. A fixed-point model of LDPC decoder, which adopts min-sum algorithm and layered decoding scheme, is implemented using Matlab. From fixed-point simulation results for various bit-width parameters such as internal bit-width, integer/fractional part bit-widths, optimal design conditions and decoding performance of LDPC decoder are analyzed.

In this paper, an implementation of RS (Reed-Solomon) code decoder for CDP (Compact Disc Player) using microprogramming method is presented. In this decoding strategy, the equations composed of Newton's identities are used for computing the coefficients of the error locator polynomial and for checking the number of erasures in C2(outer code). Also, in C2 decoding the values of erasures are computed from syndromes and the results of C1(inner code) decoding. We pulled up the error correctability by correcting 4 erasures or less. The decoder contains an arithmetic logic unit over GF(28) for error correcting and a decoding controller with programming ROM, and also microinstructions. Microinstructions are used for an implementation of a decoding algorithm for RS code. As a result, it can be easily modified for upgrade or other applications by changing the programming ROM only. The decoder is implemented by the Logic Level Modeling of Verilog HDL. In the decoder, each microinstruction has 14 bits( = 1 word), and the size of the programming ROM is 360 words. The number of the maximum clock-cycle for decoding both C1 and C2 is 424.

This paper proposes a novel normalization scheme in the state metric calculation unit for the Block-wise MAP Turbo decoder. The proposed scheme subtracts one of four metrics from the state metrics in a trellis stage and shifts, if necessary, those metrics for normalization. The proposed architecture can reduce power consumption and memory requirement by reducing the number of the state metrics by one in a trellis stage in the Block-wise MAP decoder which requires an intensive state metric calculations. Simulation results show that dynamic power has been reduced by 17.9% and area has been reduced by 6.6% in the Turbo decoder employing the proposed normalization scheme, when compared to the conventional Block-wise MAP Turbo decoders.

In this paper, we propose a design method of Reed-Solomon (23, 17) decoder for UWB using direct decoding method. The direct decoding algorithm is more efficient for the case of relatively small error correction capability. The proposed decoder requires only 9 $GF(2^m)$ multipliers in obtaining the error-locator polynomial and the error-evaluator polynomial, whereas other decoders need about 20 multipliers. Thus, the attractive feature of this decoder is its remarkable simplicity from the point of view of hardware implementation. Futhermore, the proposed decoder has very simple control circuit and short decoding delay. Therefore this decoder can be implemented by simple hardware and also save buffer memory which stores received sequence.

The performance of iterative multiuser detector and turbo decoder is presented to provide high quality multimedia services in WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access) system in this paper. Especially the relationship between the local iteration of turbo decoder and the global iteration of multiuser detector including the turbo decoder is analyzed. As a result, three local iterations and three global iterations are considered to be sufficient to provide satisfactory error performance with resonable complexity. The interference cancellation capability of global iteration is improved when the number of users is increased.

This paper proposes a new low-power and small-area Reed-Solomon decoder. The proposed Reed-Solomon decoder using a novel simplified form of the modified Euclid's algorithm can support low-hardware complexity and low-Power consumption for Reed-Solomon decoding. The simplified modified Euclid's algorithm uses new initial conditions and polynomial computations to reduce hardware complexity, and thus, the implemented architecture consisting of 3r basic cells has the lowest hardware complexity compared with existing modified Euclid's and Berlekamp-Massey architectures. The Reed-Solomon decoder has been synthesized using the $0.18{\mu}m$ Samsung standard cell library and operates at 370MHz and its data rate supports up to 2.9Gbps. For the (255, 239, 8) RS code, the gate counts of the simplified modified Euclid's architecture and the whole decoder excluding FIFO memory are only 20,166 and 40,136, respectively. Therefore, the proposed decoder can reduce the total gate count at least 5% compared with the conventional DCME decoder.
