Channel Coding for Tb/s Communications
Download SlidesAbstract
The continuous demands for higher throughput, higher spectral efficiency, lower latencies, lower power and large scalability in communication systems impose large challenges on the baseband signal processing. In the future, throughput requirements far beyond 100 Gbit/s are expected, which is much higher than the tens of Gbit/s targeted in the 5G standardization. At the same time, advances in silicon technology due to shrinking feature sizes and increased performance parameters alone will not provide the necessary gain, especially in power and energy efficiency. In this talk we will focus on channel coding, which is a major source of complexity in digital baseband processing and will highlight implementation challenges for the most advanced channel coding techniques for throughput requirements towards 1Tb/s.
