Design of a configurable LDPC decoder for high-speed wireless.

The proposed solution for a LDPC decoder according the IEEE 802.11n standard is a multicode and multi rate solution, being capable to decode the codes defined in it and also it can be reused, after adding extra blocks, to decode turbo codes for example defined in 3GPP standard. Moreover the proposed solution uses very low memory compared with other existing architectures, without a relevant penalty in terms of performance and area, and has a very high throughput performance. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to specially thank my supervisor Di Wu who help me a lot specially at the begining when I dindn’t know how to focus a project like this one. However after a deep study and reading a bunch of papers over and over, and the value advices of my supervisor always in the most critical moments when I was lost. I would also like to mention Eric Tell, because he gave me the oportunity to work at Coresonic AB, implementing my solution in a profesional enviroment. Before ending this section, I want to dedicate this thesis to my classmates and also the friends I had over all those years of hard study Juanjo, Xavi, Roger, Àlex, Tery, Santi and Cristina, as well as the swedish people I go along well and really appreciate, therefore this thesis is also dedicated to yo
