List Ordered Statistics Decoders for Polar Codes

Andreas Peter Burg, Yifei Shen, Chuan Zhang

The de-facto standard decoding algorithm for polar codes, successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding, is a breadth-first search algorithm. By keeping a list of candidate codewords, SCL decoding improves the performance as the list size L increases. Howeve ...

Design and Analysis of Jitter-Aware Low-Power and High-Speed TSV Links for 3D ICs

Giovanni De Micheli, Yusuf Leblebici, Alessandro Cevrero, Kiarash Gharibdoust, Giulia Beanato

This paper presents a circuit-level design and analysis of high-data-rate 3D serial vertical links which exploit the high bandwidth provided by TSV technology. As most of the existing TSVs consume a large amount of die area, the serial configuration can sa ...

Incremental Syllable-Context Phonetic Vocoding

Petr Motlicek, Philip Neil Garner, Milos Cernak

Current very low bit rate speech coders are, due to complexity limitations, designed to work off-line. This paper investigates incremental speech coding that operates real-time and incrementally (i.e., encoded speech depends only on already-uttered speech ...

Asynchronous detection of error potentials

Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil

Recent developments in brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have proposed the use of errorrelated potentials as cognitive signal that can provide feedback to control devices or to teach them how to solve a task. Due to the nature of these signals, all the propo ...

Brain connectivity in continuous error tasks

Inaki Asier Iturrate Gil

Error-related potentials (ErrP) have been recently incorporated in brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) due to its ability to adapt and correct both the output of the BMI or the behavior of the machine. Most of these applications rely on synchronous tasks with ...

On the Damper-Bar Current Calculation For High Power Salient Poles Synchronous Machines

Jean-Jacques Simond, Basile Kawkabani, György Atilla Bànyai

The goal of the paper was to analyze the current distribution of a high-power salient-pole synchronous machine damper winding. A few methods were considered but only two analytical methods are highlighted. Both methods arc based on parameter calculation by ...

Energy Efficiency Comparison of Asynchronous and Synchronous Circuits Operating in the Sub-Threshold Regime

Yusuf Leblebici, Omer Can Akgun

Digital circuits operating in the sub-threshold regime are able to perform minimum energy operation at a given delay. In the sub-threshold regime circuit delay, hence the leakage energy consumption depends on the supply voltage exponentially. By reducing t ...

Robust checkers for self-calibrating designs

Frédéric Worm

So far, performance and reliability of circuits have been determined by worst-case characterisation of silicon and of environmental conditions such as noise and temperature. As nanometer technologies exacerbate process variations and reduce noise margins, ...
