WORKSHOP 2010

In the last quarter of the project, two main events were held for the dissemination of the achieved results, as briefly described in the following.

 

 

 

Hardware demonstration at FuNeMs’10 (June 2010, Florence):

The DAVINCI booth at the Future Network & Mobile Summit in Florence during 16 to 18 June 2010 included two demonstrations from UBS and IMEC. The goals of the demonstration have been the following:
  • To demonstrate how the non-binary LDPC coding scheme developed in the project can be implemented using modern semiconductor technology. This has been a key activity in DAVINCI. Partners have analyzed in detail the implementability of the decoder in three different platforms:
    • On Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA)
    • On an Application Specific Instruction Set Processor (ASIP)
    • On an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC)
  • The FPGA implementation has been demonstrated using a wireless platform using the IEEE802.11a/g physical layer interfaced with a near real-time decoder implemented in an FPGA.
  • For the ASIC implementation, its architecture, details of implementation and performance have been provided on a poster. In addition, the DAVINCI partners exposed posters highlighting the main features of the non-binary LDPC coding scheme and the main achievements of the project:

Special Session at European Wireless (April 2010, Lucca):

A special session, chaired by David Declercq and Stephan Pfletschinger and entitled “Modern Channel Coding” has been held at the European Wireless conference in Lucca on 14 April 2010. This session featured the following presentations. All of them have undergone the usual peer-review process of the conference.

 

The presentations were well-received and the session attracted about one third of the conference audience.

  1. "Error Bounds for Decode-and-Forward Relaying", Alexandre Graell i Amat (Telecom Bretagne, FR), Ingmar Land (University of South Australia, Australia), Lars K. Rasmussen (KTH, Royal Institute of Technology, SE)
  2. " Reduced-Latency Stochastic Decoding of LDPC Codes over GF(q)", Gabi Sarkis, Warren J. Gross (McGill University, Montreal, CA)
  3. "Some New Results on LT and Raptor Codes", Auguste Venkiah, Charly Poulliat (University of Cergy-Pontoise, FR)
  4. "Optimal Time and Rate Allocation for a Network-coded Bidirectional Two-Hop Communication", Christoph Hausl, Onurcan Iscan (Technical University of Munich, DE), Francesco Rossetto (Institute of Communications and Navigation, DE)
  5. "Outage Threshold of Some LDPC Codes For Transmission over Non-Ergodic Block-Fading Channels", Iryna Andriyanova (University of Cergy-Pontoise, FR), Joseph J. Boutros (Texas A&M University at Qatar, QA), Ezio Biglieri (WISER S.r..l., IT)
