A High-Speed Viterbi Decoder

2008 Fourth International Conference on Natural Computation, 2008
Convolutional codes are widely used in many communication systems due to their excellent error-control performance. High-speed Viterbi decoders for convolutional codes are of great interest in high-speed applications. A high-speed (2, 1, 6) Viterbi decoder is presented in this paper, which is based on parallel Radix-4 architecture and bit-level carry ...

A parallel Viterbi decoding algorithm

Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience, 2001
AbstractIn this paper we express the Viterbi algorithm as a matrix–vector reduction in which multiplication is replaced by addition and addition by minimization. The resulting algorithm is then readily parallelized in a form suitable for implementation on a systolic processor array.

Array Processors for Viterbi Decoder

2005 2nd International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems, 2005
Wireless receivers are often characterized as portable and battery operated. As such, they are bound by a tight set of constraints such as power consumption, area usage, and throughput speed. Parallel implementation of operations increases the speed of computation without an undue increase in lock frequency.

On the Viterbi decoding algorithm

IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 1969
A new interpretation of the Viterbi decoding algorithm based on the state-space approach to dyamical systems is presented. In this interpretation the optimum decoder solves a generalized regulator control problem by dynamic programming techniques.

Feedforward Architectures for Parallel Viterbi Decoding

Journal of VLSI signal processing systems for signal, image and video technology, 1991
The Viterbi-Algorithm (VA) is a common application of dynamic programming. The algorithm contains a nonlinear feedback loop (ACS-feedback, ACS: add-compare-select) which is the bottleneck in high data rate implementations. In this paper we show that, asymptotically, the ACS-feedback no longer has to be processed recursively, i.e., there is no feedback.

Truncation Error Probability in Viterbi Decoding

IEEE Transactions on Communications, 1977
An upper bound on the bit error probability due to truncation of the path length in Viterbi decoding is obtained for any given convolutional code. This bound is then used to determine the path length at which the additional error probability due to truncation becomes negligible compared to the maximum likelihood decoding error probability.

Nanophotonic Viterbi decoding

2012 IEEE 27th Convention of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in Israel, 2012
An all optical Viterbi decoder on a silicon chip was designed. The device is composed of an optical memory cell and two interfering input arms that use QPSK modulation to encode the incoming bits. The device has a shape of a ring resonator with a size of just a few micrometers and relies on the coupling of modes. Data processing of a few picoseconds is

Memory Management in a Viterbi Decoder

IEEE Transactions on Communications, 1981
Management of the memory contents in a Viterbi decoder is a major design problem for both hardware and software realizations. In a naive implementation, every bit in the memory must be changed (read, modified, and rewritten) for each message bit decoded, and, in addition, some double buffering is required.

Truncation length for Viterbi decoding

IEEE Transactions on Communications, 1991
A bound is derived and analyzed for the bit error rate (BER) of a Viterbi decoder with survivor truncation. Estimates of the SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) loss on the AWGN (additive white Gaussian noise) channel due to truncation are obtained for convolutional codes. Larger truncation lengths are required than the smallest value that does not effectively
