Design and FPGA implementation of an efficient parallel Turbo decoder for combining state metric calculations by Qian ZHANG, Ming ZHAN, Jianwu ZHANG, Fulong WANG, Yunkai1 FENG, Hao TANG

“…In order to achieve the requirement of high throughput and low-power in wireless communication, a parallel Turbo decoder has attracted extensive attention.By analyzing the calculating of the state metrics, a low-resource parallel Turbo decoder architecture scheme based on merging the forward and backward state metrics calculation modules was proposed, and effectiveness of the new architecture was demonstrated through field-programmable gate array (FPGA) hardware realization.The results show that, compared with the existing parallel Turbo decoder architectures, the proposed design architecture reduces the logic resource of state metrics calculation module about 50%, while the dynamic power dissipation of the decoder architecture is decreased by 5.26% at the frequency of 125 MHz.Meanwhile the decoding algorithm is close to the decoding performance of the parallel algorithm.…”

Research on Seismic Resistance of Precast Concrete Shear Walls with Bolt Splicing by XU Zhuang, ZHANG Ruigang

“…A design scheme of fully-assembled precast concrete shear walls with unit components spliced by bolts is proposed for the prefabricated unit residence system.An integral precast wall and two overlapped precast ones (consisting of two thin panels spliced horizontally by bolts) are designed,and low-cycle static loading tests of the walls under the bend-shear coupled loading mode are performed to study the seismic resistance of the structures.The research results indicate that the failure mode of the overlapped wall is the same as that of the integral one,and the crack development of the wall body is insufficient.The bearing capacity of the overlapped wall is equivalent to that of the integral one.The former is more ductile,whose displacement ductility factor is about 1.1 times that of the latter.The initial stiffness of the integral wall is larger than that of the overlapped one,but the former's stiffness degrades faster.In addition,the quantity and locations of bolts have little effect on the energy dissipation capacities of overlapped walls,and joint connection might be the only function of bolts for overlapped walls.…”
