Article Synopsis
- The forward error correction (FEC) unit is a key component in digital baseband processing that demands high computational effort and power, making its efficient implementation critical for future mobile broadband standards.
- Quantization affects the area, power consumption, and throughput of FEC decoders; while lower bit widths help with efficiency, they can reduce error correction performance.
- This paper introduces optimized Fast Simplified Successive-Cancellation (Fast-SSC) polar code decoder implementations using a non-uniform quantization method based on the Information Bottleneck, achieving improvements in area and energy efficiency compared to existing decoders.
