  1. Improving Network-on-Chip-based turbo decoder architectures.

    Authors: Maurizio Martina, Guido Masera
    Subjects: Architecture
    Abstract

    In this work novel results concerning Network-on-Chip-based turbo decoder
    architectures are presented. Stemming from previous publications, this work
    concentrates first on improving the throughput by exploiting adaptive-bandwidth
    reduction techniques. This technique shows in the best case an improvement of
    more than 60 Mb/s. Moreover, it is known that double-binary turbo decoders
    require higher area than binary ones. This characteristic has the negative
    effect of increasing the data width of the network nodes.

  2. VLSI Architectures for WIMAX Channel Decoders.

    Authors: Maurizio Martina, Guido Masera
    Subjects: Architecture
    Abstract

    This chapter describes the main architectures proposed in the literature to
    implement the channel decoders required by the WiMax standard, namely
    convolutional codes, turbo codes (both block and convolutional) and LDPC. Then
    it shows a complete design of a convolutional turbo code encoder/decoder system
    for WiMax.

  3. Turbo NOC: a framework for the design of Network On Chip based turbo decoder architectures.

    Authors: Maurizio Martina, Guido Masera
    Subjects: Architecture
    Abstract

    This work proposes a general framework for the design and simulation of
    network on chip based turbo decoder architectures. Several parameters in the
    design space are investigated, namely the network topology, the parallelism
    degree, the rate at which messages are sent by processing nodes over the
    network and the routing strategy.
