Fast soft-output Viterbi decoding for duo-binary turbo codes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article, we describe the implementation of a Soft-Output Viterbi Decoder for an eight-state duo-binary code. This decoder is to be used in a turbo-decoder for convolutional codes. The implementation was made with the Synopsys environment and targeted a 0.18 m technology. The layout obtained has a working frequency of 150 MHz and thus an output data rate of 300 Mbits/s.

متن کاملIterative Decoding Algorithms for Turbo Product Codes
In this paper we introduce the iterative decoding principle, “the turbo principle”, for the bidimensional Turbo Product Codes (TPC’s). The constituent codes used for encoding on rows and columns are two concatenated (7,4) Hamming block codes. Several Soft Input Soft Output (SISO) algorithms can be used for the iterative decoding process. At each iteration, the two decoders decode all rows, then...
متن کاملBER Analysis of Turbo Coded Channel
Turbo codes are a new class of forward error correcting codes that have proved to give a performance close to the channel capacity as proposed by C. Shannon. A turbo code encoder is formed by the parallel concatenation of two identical recursive convolutional encoders separated by an interleaver. The turbo code decoder utilizes two cascaded decoding blocks where each block in turn shares a prio...
متن کاملSOVA decoding in Symmetric Alpha-Stable Noise
Soft-Output Viterbi Algorithm (SOVA) is one type of recovery memory-less Markov Chain and is used widely to decode convolutional codes. Fundamentally, conventional SOVA is designed on the basis of Maximum A-Posteriori Probability (APP) with the assumption of normal distribution. Therefore, conventional SOVA fails miserably in the presence of symmetric alpha stable noise S S α which is one form ...
متن کاملNoncoherent iterative (turbo) decoding
Recently, noncoherent sequence detection schemes for coded linear and continuous phase modulations have been proposed, which deliver hard decisions by means of a Viterbi algorithm. The current trend in digital transmission systems toward iterative decoding algorithms motivates an extension of these schemes. In this paper, we propose two noncoherent soft-output decoding algorithms. The first sol...
