IMT-2000에서는 이미 터보코드가 채널코딩 기법으로 제안되어 있으며 특별히 3GPP 규격에서는 제한길이 4인 1/3 터보코드가 채택되어 있다. 기존의 논문에서는 일반적인 터보 코드의 성능에 대한 분석이 많이 제시되어 왔으나, 3GPP 규격의 터보 복호를 위한 SOVA 복호기의 성능 파라미터 추출과 그에 따른 성능 분석 수행되지 않았다. 본 연구에서는 효율적인 구조의 3GPP SOVA 복호기를 설계하기 위해서 외부정보의 스케일링과 신뢰도 갱신길이 라는 두 가지 파라미터에 따른 SOVA 복호기의 성능을 분석하고 최적의 파라미터 값을 제시하고자 한다. 이 파라미터의 최적화를 위하여 C++를 이용한 모의실험 결과, 3GPP 규격의 (13,15) 1/3 코드에서 스케일링 값은 1/2로 신뢰도 갱신길이는 10으로 최적화 되었다.

In this paper, we show new method to find number of errors in the Reed-Solomon decoder. New design is much faster and has much simpler logic circuit than the former design method. This optimization was possible by very simplified square calculating circuit and parallel processing. The microcontroller of this Reed Solomon decoder can be used for data protection of almost all digital communication and consumer electronic devices.

Recently due to rapid improvement of integrated circuit design environment, size of IC design is to become large to possible design System on Chip(SoC) that one chip with multi function enclosed. Also cause to this rapid change, consumption market is require to spend smallest time for new product development. In this paper to propose a methodology can design a large size IC for save time and applied to design of MPEG Layer 2 decoder to can use audio receiver in digital broadcast system. The digital broadcast audio decoder in this paper is pointed to save hardware size as optimizing algorithm. MPEG Layer 2 decoder algorithm is include MAC to can have an effect on hardware size. So coefficients are using sign digit expression. It is for hardware optimization. If using this method can design MAC without multiplier. The designed audio decoder is using 14,000 gates hardware size and save 22% (4000 gates) hardware usage than using multiplier. Also can design MPEG Layer 2 decoder usable digital broadcast receiver for short time.

In this paper, we show new method to find error locations of 2 eight bit symbol errors for 2 error correcting Reed-Solomon decoder. New design is much faster and has much simpler logic circuit than the former design method. This optimization was possible by partitioning the 8 bit operations into 4 bit arithgmatic and logic operations. This Reed Solomon decoder can be used for data protection of almost all digital communication and consumer electronic devices.

In this paper, we present an optimized design of RS(23,17) decoder for UWB, which uses the pipeline structured-modified Euclidean(PS-ME) algorithm. Firstly, the modified processing element(PE) block is presented in order to get rid of degree comparison circuits, registers and MUX at the final PE stage. Also, a degree computationless decoding algorithm is proposed, so that the hardware complexity of the decoder can be reduced and high-speed decoder can be implemented. Additionally, we optimize Chien search algorithm, Forney algorithm, and FIFO size for UWB specification. Using Verilog HDL, the proposed decoder is implemented and synthesized with Samsung 65nm library. From synthesis results, it can operate at clock frequency of 250MHz, and gate count is 17,628.

본 논문에서는 PC 기반 지상파 DMB(Terrestrial Digital Multimedia Broadcasting, T-DMB) 수신기를 위한 SW 최적화에 대해 설명한다. 이 수신기는 PC 외부에 지상파 DMB 신호를 안테나로 수신하여 복조하고 채널 복호하는 프론트 엔드(front-end) 수신 모듈을 이용, USB를 통하여 RS(Reed-Solomon) 부호화된 MPEG-2 TS(Transport Stream) 데이터를 읽어 들여 RS 복호, TS 역다중화, 비디오 복호, 오디오 복호 등의 SW 처리 과정을 거쳐 디스플레이 상에 수신 내용을 표시하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 저사양 PC에서도 T-DMB를 수신할 수 있도록 H.264/MPEG-4 AVC(Advanced Video Coding) 복호 과정을 최적화한 결과에 대해 설명한다.

This paper describes an efficient architecture for LDPC(Low-Density Parity Check) decoder, which supports three block lengths (648, 1,296, 1,944) of IEEE 802.11n standard. To minimize hardware complexity, the min-sum algorithm and block-serial layered structure are adopted in DFU(Decoding Function Unit) which is a main functional block in LDPC decoder. The optimized H-ROM structure for multi block lengths reduces the ROM size by 42% as compared to the conventional method. Also, pipelined memory read/write scheme for inter-layer DFU operations is proposed for an optimized operation of LDPC decoder.

Punctured convolutional codes increase transmission efficiency without increasing hardware complexity. However, Viterbi decoder supporting punctured codes requires long decoding length and large survivor memory to achieve sifficiently low bit error rate (BER), when compared to the Viterbi decoder for a rate 1/2 convolutional code. This Paper presents novel architecture adopting a pipelined trace-forward unit reducing survivor memory requirements in the Viterbi decoder. The proposed survivor path architecture reduces the memory requirements by removing the initial decoding delay needed to perform trace-back operation and by accelerating the trace-forward process to identify the survivor path in the Viterbi decoder. Experimental results show that the area of survivor path unit has been reduced by 16％ compared to that of conventional hybrid survivor path unit.

2채널의 MPEG-2 Layer-Ⅲ 오디오 복호화 알고리듬이 16비트의 고정소수점 연산기로도 고음질의 오디오출력을 얻을 수 있도록 최적화를 수행하였다. 고음질을 얻기 위하여 고정소수점 연산기에서 발생하는 양자화 오차를 최소화 하였으며 각 복호화 과정 별로 최소의 오차를 발생시키는 알고리듬을 제안하고 사용하였다. 고정소수점 모의실험은 C-언어를 사용하여 수행되었으며, ISO-IEC 13818-4 Compliance Test를 수행하여 최적화된 복호화기가 ISO／IEC 13818-4 audio decoder의 기준을 만족함을 보였다.
