This paper proposes a high-speed FFT processor for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing(OFDM) systems. The Proposed architecture uses a single-memory architecture and uses a radix-4 algorithm for high speed. The proposed memory is partitioned into four banks for high-speed computation. It uses an in-place memory strategy that stores butterfly outputs in the same memory location used by butterfly inputs. Therefore, the memory size can be reduced. The SQNR of about 80dB is achieved with 20-bit input and 20-bit twiddle factors. The architecture has been modeled by VHDL and logic synthesis has been performed using the SamsungTM 0.5㎛ SOG cell library (KG80). The implemented FFT processor consists of 98,326 gates excluding memory. It has smaller hardware than existing pipeline FFT processors for more than 1024-point FFTs. The processor can operate at 42MHz and calculate a 256-point complex FFT in 6us. It satisfies tile required processing speed of 8.4㎲ in the HomePlug standard.

This paper presents an efficient hardware architecture to improve the frame memory interface occupying the largest hardware area together with motion estimator in implementing MPEG-2 video encoder as an ASIC chip. In this architecture, the memory size for internal data buffering and hardware area for frame memory interface control logic are reduced through the efficient memory map organization of the external SDRAM having dual bank and memory access timing optimization between the video encoder and external SDRAM. In this design, 0.5 m, CMOS, TLM (Triple Layer Metal) standard cells are used as design libraries and VHDL simulator and logic synthesis tools are used for hardware design add verification. The hardware emulator modeled by C-language is exploited for various test vector generation and functional verification. The architecture of the improved frame memory interface occupies about 58% less hardware area than the existing architecture[2-3], and it results in the total hardware area reduction up to 24.3%. Thus, the (act that the frame memory interface influences on the whole area of the video encoder severely is presented as a result.

Recently, as Internet and its services grow rapidly, IETF(Internet Engineering Task Force) introduced a new switching mechanism, MPLS(Multi-Protocol Label Switching), to solve the problem of the scalability in Internet backbone. In this paper, we implemented the LSR loaded with VC-merging function, which causes LSR's management cost to be significantly reduced. We propose a new VC-merge function which supports differentiated services. In case of network congestion in the output buffer of each core LSR, appling link polices to the output modules of the LSR using the EPD algorithm can prevent the buffer from being overflowed. Simulation was performed for Diffserv by using multiple traffic models and investigated the impact of VC-merge method compared to non VC-merge method. The proposed switch is modeled in VHDL and fabricated using the SAMSUNG $0.5{\mu}m$ SOG process.

In this paper, we propose ATM switch architecture including ALL type 2 switch which can efficiently transmit low-bit rate data, even if the network has many endpoints. We simulate the architecture of ATM switch fabric that is modeled in computer program and analyze the performance according to offered loads. ATM switch proposed in this paper can support cell switching for all types of m cells which consist of ALL type 1. ALL type 2, ALL type 3/4 and ALL type 5 cells. We propose two switch fabric methods; One supports the ALL type 2 cell processing per input port, the other global ALL type 2 cell processing for every input port. The simulation results show that the latter is superior to the former. But the former has a merit for easy implementation and extensibility. In this paper, the AAL Type 2 switch module which adapts the former method is designed using VHDL language and implemented in FPGA chip. The designed AAL Type 2 switch module operates at 52MHz. The proposed ATM switch fabric is widely applicable to mobile communication, narrow band services over ATM network and wireless ATM as well as general ATM switching fabric.

This paper proposes efficient VLSI architecture for computation of the 1-D discrete wavelet transform (DWT). The proposed VLSI architecture computes the wavelet lowpass and highpass output sequences using the product term anhm, $n,m{\ge}0$, where an and hm denote the imput sequence and the wavelet lowpass filter coefficient, respectively. Whereas the conventional architectures compute the lowpass and highpass output sequences using the product terms anhm and angm, respectively, where gm denotes the wavelet highpass filter coefficient. The proposed architecture is applied to computation of the Daubechies 4-tap wavelet transform using the relationships between the Daubechies wavelet filter coefficients. Performance comparison of various architectures for computation of the 1-D DWT are presented. Note that the proposed architecture does not require extra processing units whereas the conventional architectures need them. Also it is modeled in very high speed integrated circuit hardware description language (VHDL) and simulated to show its functional validity.

This paper presents the design and FPGA implementation of a FLEX PSP(Protocol Signal Processor) for the portable high speed paging system. In this approach, two algorithms are newly proposed for implementing the PSP which provides capabilities of the maximum 6,400bps at speed, high-channel throughput, real time error correction and an effective frame search function. One is an accurate symbol synchronization algorithm which is applied for synchronizing the interleaved 4-level bit symbols which are received at input stage of A/D converter, and the other is a modified fast decoding algorithm which is provided for realizing double error correction of (31,21)BCH signal. The PSP is composed of six functional modules, and each module is modelled in VHDL(VHSIC Hardware Description Language). Both functional simulation and logic synthesis have performed for the proposed PSP through the use of Synopsys$^{TM}$ tools on a Axil-320 Workstation, and where Altera 10K libraries are used for logic synthesis. From logic synthesis, we can see that the number of gates is about 2,631. For FPGA implementation, timing simulation is performed by using Altera MAX+ PLUS II, and its results will be also given. The PSP which is implemented in 6 FPGA devices on a PCB has been verified by means of Logic Analyzer.r.
