IRIS è la soluzione IT che facilita la raccolta e la gestione dei dati relativi alle attività e ai prodotti della ricerca. Fornisce a ricercatori, amministratori e valutatori gli strumenti per monitorare i risultati della ricerca, aumentarne la visibilità e allocare in modo efficace le risorse disponibili.
EnglishLow-density parity-check (LDPC) codes have recently been included as error-correcting codes in IEEE 802.16e, for wireless metropolitan area networks. This paper proposes a flexible, low-complexity LDPC decoder fully compliant with all 114 codes defined by the standard. The decoder runs the layered decoding algorithm to increase the convergence speed, and relies on a semi-parallel implementation with serial processing units working in pipeline to reduce the latency. Particularly, two different architectures are considered, and their RTL/memory complexity tradeoffs are analyzed. The resulting design yields a throughput ranging from 93 to 497 Mbps by means of 15 iterations at the clock frequency of 400 MHz. Synthesis on 65 nm CMOS technology, shows a chip area less than 0.59 mm2, despite the high flexibility, which compares favourably with similar implementations.

The decoder runs the layered decoding algorithm to increase the convergence speed, and relies on a semi-parallel implementation with serial processing units working in pipeline to reduce the latency.
