Abstract
We present a novel standard convolutional symbols generator (SCSG) block for a multi-parameter reconfigurable Viterbi decoder to optimize resource consumption and adaption of multiple parameters. The SCSG block generates all the states and calculates all the possible standard convolutional symbols corresponding to the states using an iterative approach. The architecture of the Viterbi decoder based on the SCSG reduces resource consumption for recalculating the branch metrics and rearranging the correspondence between branch metrics and transition paths. The proposed architecture supports constraint lengths from 3 to 9, code rates of 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4, and fully optional polynomials. The proposed Viterbi decoder has been implemented on the Xilinx XC7VX485T device with a high throughput of about 200 Mbps and a low resource consumption of 162k logic gates.
