Abstract
In recent years,polar code is a hot topic in the field of channel coding,and many researchers start paying attention to hardware implementation.Nowadays,CA-SCL decoding algorithm is widely regarded as the algorithm that can achieve good per-formance. In order to improve the parallelism of CA-SCL decoding algorithm,a method is proposed to associate every candidate path with a SC decoding core containing many processing elements,which consumes a large amount of hardware resources.To han-dle this case,an architecture is proposed in which every decoding path associate with only one processing element,which greatly re-duces the system area.The design is synthesized for a blocklength of N=1024 bits,code rate 1/2 and list size L=32 using Strtix V de-vice of Alter,Inc.When the clock frequency is 300MHz,the decoding throughput can be up to 6.24Mbps,meanwhile,the hard-ware utilization is only 6%.关键词
