Figure 1 shows a simplified diagram of a communications channel with FEC encoding and decoding. Approaches that correct for bit errors during digital communication vary from simple error-detection ...

IMEC’s FEC enables, on one processor, the turbo- and LDPC decoding of major communication standards. The technology is available for the industry either through a soft IP transfer, or through joint ...

The preliminary estimates for throughput and energy consumption show that IMEC’s FEC solution is competitive with solutions that separate turbo and LDPC decoding on dedicated hardware. The ...
