The design of mobile communication receiver requires addressing the stringent issues of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) operation and low battery power consumption. Typically, forward error correction using convolutional coding with Viterbi decoding is employed to improve the error performance. However, even with moderate code lengths, the computation and storage requirement of conventional VD are substantial consuming appreciable fraction of DSP computations and hence battery power.

Show moreThe design of mobile communication receiver requires addressing the stringent issues of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) operation and low battery power consumption. Typically, forward error correction using convolutional coding with Viterbi decoding is employed to improve the error performance. However, even with moderate code lengths, the computation and storage requirement of conventional VD are substantial consuming appreciable fraction of DSP computations and hence battery power. The new error selective Viterbi decoding (ESVD) scheme developed recently (1) reduces the computational load substantially by taking advantage of the noise-free intervals to limit the trellis search. This thesis is concerned with the development of an efficient hardware architecture to implement a hard decision version of ESVD scheme for IS-54 coder. The implementations are optimized to reduce the computational complexity. The performance of the implemented ESVD scheme is verified for different channel conditions.
