Performance Evaluation of Channel Coding for Gbps 60-GHz OFDM-based Wireless Communications
This is an accepted paper for the 21st Annual IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC 2010, http://www.ieee-pimrc.org/ ), Istanbul, Turkey, on 26 – 29 September 2010.
Abstract: In this paper, we undertake a comparison of LDPC (768,384) and convolutional (171,133) codes for 60-GHz OFDMbased wireless communication systems. The comparison is based on two parameters: Frame Error Rate (FER) for 60-GHz channels and decoding hardware complexity for a required throughput of more than 1 Gbps. Additionally, we provide performance parameters of a fully parallel LDPC decoder chip, fabricated in our IHP in-house 0.13 μm CMOS technology, achieving a throughput of more than 1 Gbps.
