본 논문에서는 DVB-S2에 제시된 LDPC 복P호기에 대하여 효율적인 알고리즘을 제안하고 고속화 하여, 이에 따른 FPGA구현 결과를 제시하였다. 고속 LDPC 복호기를 구현하기 위해서는 알고리즘 측면과 구현 측면에서 여러 가지 문제점이 있다. 알고리즘 측면에서는 첫째, LDPC 부호화 방식은 큰 블록 사이즈 및 많은 반복 횟수를 요구하므로 복호 속도를 높이기 위해서는 동일한 성능을 유지하면서 반복 횟수를 줄일 수 있는 알고리즘이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 이를 위해 체크 노드를 기반으로 하여 복호화 과정을 거치는 horizontal shuffle scheduling(HSS) 알고리즘을 적용하여 기존의 반복 횟수를 줄일 수 있는 방안을 연구 하였다. 구현 측면에서 복호 속도를 높이기 위해서는 데이터의 많은 병렬 처리가 필요하다. 이러한 병렬 처리에 의해 노드 업데이트 연산 역시 병렬 처리가 가능하다. Check Node Update의 경우 look up table(LUT)이 필요하다. 이는 critical path의 주요 원인이 되는 부분으로 LUT 연산을 하지 않고 성능 열화를 최소화 하는 self-correction normalized min sum(SC-NMS) 연산 방식을 제안하였고, 최적의CNU 연산 방식에 따른 복호기 구조를 제안하고 FPGA 구현 결과, 복호 속도가 약 40 % 개선됨을 알 수 있다.

FTN (Faster Than Nyquist) 전송 방식은 나이퀴스트 (Nyquist) 율보다 빠르게 신호를 전송할 수 있으나 필연적으로 ISI (Inter-Symbol Interference)가 발생하고 이로 인하여 송신 심볼 간 상관관계가 발생한다. 한편 터보류 채널 부호화 방식에서는 정보 프레임의 길이가 길어질수록 성능이 개선되나 정보 프레임의 길이가 길어짐에 따라 전송 지연, 복호기의 복잡도 및 복호 지연이 증가하는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 FTN 전송으로 인하여 발생한 심볼 간 상관관계를 활용하여 부호어 (codeword)들 간에 상관관계를 부여하고 이를 통하여 보다 큰 정보 프레임을 사용하는 것과 같은 효과를 제공할 수 있는 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 부호어 간 상관관계로 인하여 보다 큰 정보 프레임을 사용하는 것과 유사한 성능을 나타낼 뿐만 아니라 복호기에서는 다수의 구성 복호기 (constituent decoder)가 병렬로 연결된 구조를 갖고 있어 병렬 복호가 용이한 장점이 있다.

In this paper, we applied new analog viterbi decoder to decode PR(1,2,2,1) signal for DVD and analyze the specific and signal characteristics. We implemented the parallel analog viterbi decoder and the convolution digital viterbi decoder(the digital PRML) utilizing the technology of analog parallel processing circuits. The proposed analog viterbi decoder can replace the conventional digital viterbi decoder by a new one. Our circuits design the low distortion and the high accuracy over the previous implementation. Through the parallel structure of the proposed viterbi decoder, we got the achievement of the decoding speed by the multiple times.

In this paper, a memory organization and its control method are proposed for the implementation of parallel Virterbi decoders. The design is mainly focused on lowering the hardware complexity of a parallel Viterbi decoder which is to reduce the decoding speed. The memories requeired in a Viterbi decoder are the SMM(State Metric Memory) and the TBM(Traceback Memory);the SMM for storing the path metrics of states and the TBM for storing the survial path information. A general parallel Viterbi decoder for high datarate usually consists of multiple ACS (Add-Compare-Select) units and their corresponding memeory modules.for parallel ACS units, SMMs and TBMs are partitioned into smaller independent pairs of memory modules which are separately interleaved to provide the maximum processing speed. In this design SMMs are controlled with addrss generators which can simultaneously compute addresses of the new path metrics. A bit shuffle technique is employed to provide a parallel access to the TBMs to store the survivor path informations from multiple ACS modules.

In this paper, we propose a flexible turbo decoding algorithm for a high order modulation scheme that uses a standard half-rate turbo decoder designed for binary quadrature phase-shift keying (B/QPSK) modulation. A transformation applied to the incoming I-channel and Q-channel symbols allows the use of an off-the-shelf B/QPSK turbo decoder without any modifications. Iterative codes such as turbo codes process the received symbols recursively to improve performance. As the number of iterations increases, the execution time and power consumption also increase. The proposed algorithm reduces the latency and power consumption by combination of the radix-4, dual-path processing, parallel decoding, and early-stop algorithms. We implement the proposed scheme on a field-programmable gate array and compare its decoding speed with that of a conventional decoder. The results show that the proposed flexible decoding algorithm is 6.4 times faster than the conventional scheme.

In this paper, we propose a parallel collaborative sphere decoder with a scalable architecture promising quasi-maximum likelyhood performance with a relatively small amount of computational resources. This design offers a hardware-friendly algorithm using a modified node operation through fixing the variable complexity of the critical path caused by the sequential nature of the conventional sphere decoder (SD). It also reduces the computational complexity compared to the fixed-complexity sphere decoder (FSD) algorithm by tree pruning using collaboratively operated node operators. A Monte Carlo simulation shows that our proposed design can be implemented using only half the parallel operators compared to the approach using an ideal fully parallel scheme such as FSD, with only about a 7% increase of the normalized decoding time for MIMO dimensions of $16{\times}16$ with 16-QAM modulation.

In this paper, we propose an efficient VLSI architecture of Reed-Solomon(RS) decoder. To improve the speed. we develope an architecture featuring parallel and pipelined processing. To implement the parallel and pipelined processing architecture, we analyze the RS decoding algorithm and the honor's algorithm for parallel processing and we also modified the Euclid's algorithm to apply the efficient parallel structure in RS decoder. To show the proposed architecture, the performance of the proposed RS decoder is compared to Shao's and we obtain the 10 % efficiency in area and three times faster in speed when it's compared to Shao's time domain decoder. In addition, we implemented the proposed RS decoder with Altera FPGA Flex10K-50.

As demands for high-definition television (HDTV) increase, the implementation of real-time decoding of high-definition (HD) video becomes an important issue. The data size for HD video is so large that real-time processing of the data is difficult to implement, especially with software. In order to implement a fast moving picture expert group-2 decoder for HDTV, we compose five scenarios that use parallel processing techniques such as data decomposition, task decomposition, and pipelining. Assuming the multi digital signal processor environments, we analyze each scenario in three aspects: decoding speed, L1 memory size, and bandwidth. By comparing the scenarios, we decide the most suitable cases for different situations. We simulate the scenarios in the dual-core and dual-central processing unit environment by using OpenMP and analyze the simulation results.

Differential spatial modulation uses the antenna index to transmit information, which improves the spectral efficiency, and completely bypasses any channel side information in the recommended setting. A generalized distributed multiple turbo coded-cooperative differential spatial modulation based on distributed multiple turbo code is put forward and its performances in Rayleigh fading channels is analyzed. The generalized distributed multiple turbo coded-cooperative differential spatial modulation scheme is a coded-cooperation communication scheme, in which we proposed a new joint parallel iterative decoding method. Moreover, the code matched interleaver is considered to be the best choice for the generalized multiple turbo coded-cooperative differential spatial modulation schemes, which is the key factor of turbo code. Monte Carlo simulated results show that the proposed cooperative differential spatial modulation scheme is better than the corresponding non-cooperative scheme over Rayleigh fading channels in multiple input and output communication system under the same conditions. In addition, the simulation results show that the code matched interleaver scheme gets a better diversity gain as compared to the random interleaver.
