Ultrahigh-speed and low-power-consumption QC-LDPC code decoder based on TDMP

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of wireless communication and micro-electronics, in particular to an ultrahigh-speed low-power-consumption and low-density parity check code (QC-LDPC) decoder based on TDMP. Through symmetrizing six grades of production lines, interlacing row blocks and line blocks, re-sequencing nonzero sub matrixes, carrying out four-quadrant division on a sum value register pile and adopting the technology of reading and writing the bypass, the decoder carries out serial scanning in the row sequence, two nonzero sub matrixes are respectively processed in each clock period during horizontal updating and vertical updating. The horizontal updating and the vertical updating are fully overlapped. Particularly, the sum value register pile stores the sum values of variable nodes, and is also used as an FIFO for storing transient external information transferred between two phases. The structure of the decoder has strong configurability, can be easily transplanted into any other irregular or irregular QC-LDPC codes, and has the excellent decoding performance, the peak frequency can reach 214 MHz, the thuoughput can reach about 1 gigabit per second, and the chip power consumption is only 397 milliwatts.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of wireless communication and microelectronics, in particular to an ultra-high-speed low-power configurable QC-LDPC code decoder, which can be applied to ultra-high-speed wireless digital communication, optical fiber communication, satellite communication, multimedia digital broadcasting and magnetic Optical storage and many other systems. Background technique [0002] Low-Density Parity-Check Codes (LDPC, Low-Density Parity-Check Codes) were invented by Dr. Gallager in the early 1960s. Due to its high decoding complexity, it was not taken seriously for more than 30 years. Until it was rediscovered and proved to have quite good power efficiency in the mid-1990s, LDPC codes were developed rapidly and widely used. Quasi-cyclic LDPC (QC-LDPC) code, as a very important branch, has linear coding complexity and a very favorable partial parallel decoding structure, and is widely used in DVB-S2, IEEE 802.11n (Wire...
