| Popis: |
This paper presents the first ASIC implementation of a successive cancellation (SC) decoder for polar codes. The implemented ASIC relies on a semi-parallel architecture where processing resources are reused to achieve good hardware efficiency. A speculative decoding technique is employed to increase the throughput by 25% at the cost of very limited added complexity. The resulting architecture is implemented in a 180nm technology. The fabricated chip can be clocked at 150 MHz and uses 183k gates. It was verified using an FPGA testing setup and provides reference for the true silicon complexity of SC decoders for polar codes. |
