Cloud computing draws significant attention in the information technology (IT) community as
it provides ubiquitous on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing …

In 5G New Radio (NR), low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are included as the error
correction codes (ECC) for the data channel. While LDPC codes enable a low, near …

Error correction code (ECC) processing has so far been performed on dedicated hardware
for previous generations of mobile communication standards, to meet latency and bandwidth …

Next-generation virtual radio access networks (vRAN) will benefit from the flexibility provided
by virtualization in proposed Cloud-RAN configurations. These systems for 5G and beyond …

Turbo codes comprising a parallel concatenation of upper and lower convolutional codes
are widely employed in the state-of-the-art wireless communication standards, since they …

This paper presents a high-throughput implementation of a portable software turbo decoder.
The code is optimized for traditional multi-core CPUs (like x86) and it is based on the …

In the last few years, with the advent of a software-defined radio (SDR), the processor cores
were stated to be an efficient solution to execute the physical layer components. Indeed …

This paper presents a new dynamic and fully generic implementation of a Successive
Cancellation (SC) decoder (multi-precision support and intra-/inter-frame strategy support) …

The Cloud-RAN (C-RAN) paradigm is envisioned to increase the efficiency of future mobile
networks by moving the computational resources needed at the Remote Radio Heads …

Dealing with multiple users in cellular basestation with multiple codewords of variable length
is a challenging task in parallel decoding. Thus, a novel turbo decoder with variable …
