Title:

Multi-Gigabit Channel Decoders

Abstract:

The internet of things and the ever increasing number of smartphones is pushing new communication standards and the mobile traffic which increases over 60%/year until 2017. Consequently energy efficient and high throughput channel decoders are mandatory. In this talk we revise current architectures for advanced channel decoders and discuss their limits w.r.t. throughput.
