From an error rate performance perspective, maximum likelihood (ML) detection is the preferred detection method for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. However, for high transmission rates a straight forward exhaustive search imple ...

This article presents a design-for-test methodology for embedded memories. The methodology relies on a fully random fault model of post-fabrication errors, which results in a low-overhead test strategy. The methodology's effectiveness is demonstrated on an ...

Today, a large portion of mobile data traffic is consumed behind the shielding walls of buildings or in the Faraday cage of trains. This renders cellular network coverage from outdoor cell sites difficult. Indoor small cells and distributed antennas along ...

We present a low-power quasi-cyclic (QC) low density parity check (LDPC) decoder that meets the throughput requirements of the highest-rate (600 Mbps) modes of the IEEE 802.11n WLAN standard. The design is based on the layered offset-min-sum algorithm and ...

LoRa is the proprietary physical layer (PHY) of LoRaWAN, which is a popular Internet-of-Things (IoT) protocol enabling low-power devices to communicate over long ranges. A number of reverse engineering attempts have been published in the last few years tha ...

In this paper, we investigate the impact of circuit misbehavior due to parametric variations and voltage scaling on the performance of wireless communication systems. Our study reveals the inherent error resilience of such systems and argues that sufficien ...

Polarization-adjusted convolutional (PAC) codes are modified polar codes in which a one-to-one convolutional transformation is employed before the classical polar transform. Fano decoding of PAC codes in the Shannon lecture at ISIT2019 showed an outstandin ...

Among the different types of DRAMs, gain-cell embedded DRAM (GC-eDRAM) is a compact, low-power and CMOS-compatible alternative to conventional SRAM. GC-eDRAM achieves high memory density as it relies on a storage cell that can be implemented with as few as ...

5G New Radio (NR) has stringent demands on both performance and complexity for the design of low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoding algorithms and corresponding VLSI implementations. Furthermore, decoders must fully support the wide range of all 5G NR bl ...

The area and power consumption of low-density parity check (LDPC) decoders are typically dominated by embedded memories. To alleviate such high memory costs, this paper exploits the fact that all internal memories of a LDPC decoder are frequently updated w ...

Approximation of Toeplitz matrices with circulant matrices is a well-known approach to reduce the computational complexity of linear equalizers. This paper presents a novel technique to compute linear equalizer coefficients in the frequency domain. It is s ...

Continuous monitoring of human activity and vital signs has become increasingly important in healthcare and consumer applications. While wearables and others sensors are already in widespread use, they often suffer from issues such as discomfort and the ne ...

Gain cells have recently been shown to be a viable alternative to static random access memory in low-power applications due to their low leakage currents and high density. The primary component of power consumption in these arrays is the dynamic power cons ...

This paper proposes a novel approach to modeling of gate level timing errors during high-level instruction set simulation. hi contrast to conventional, purely random fault injection, our physically motivated approach directly relates to the underlying circ ...

In this paper, we explore the use of channel state information (CSI) from a WiFi system to estimate the breathing rate of a person in a room. In order to extract WiFi CSI components that are sensitive to breathing, we propose to consider the delay domain c ...

Embedded memories consume an increasingly dominant part of the overall area and power of a large variety of systems-on-chip [ITRS’09]: 1) biomedical implants and wireless sensor networks require robust memories operating in the sub-VT domain; 2) many handh ...

Node-based successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding has received considerable attention in wireless communications for its significant reduction in decoding latency, particularly with 5G New Radio (NR) polar codes. However, the existing node-based SCL d ...

State-of-the-art wearable devices such as embedded biomedical monitoring systems apply voltage scaling to lower as much as possible their energy consumption and achieve longer battery lifetimes. While embedded memories often rely on Error Correction Codes ...

The design cycle for complex special-purpose computing systems is extremely costly and time-consuming. It involves a multiparametric design space exploration for optimization, followed by design verification. Designers of special purpose VLSI implementatio ...

Ultra-low power (ULP) biomedical implants and sensor nodes typically require small memories of a few kb, while previous work on reliable subthreshold (sub-Vt) memories targets several hundreds of kb. Standard-cell based memories (SCMs) are a straightforwar ...
