Area and Energy Efficient QCA Based Compact Serial Concatenated Convolutional Code Encoder
Abstract
Abstract Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) is a transistor-less technology known for its low power consumption and higher clock rate. Serial Concatenated Convolutional Coding (SCCC) encoder is a class of forward error correction. This paper picturizes the implementation of the outer encoder as a (7, 4, 1) Bose Chaudhary Hocquenghem encoder that serves the purpose of burst error correction, a pseudo-random inter-leaver used for permuting of systematic code words and finally the inner encoder which is used for the correction of random errors in QCA. Two different architectures of the SCCC encoder have been proposed and discussed in this study. In the proposed two architectures, the first based on external clock signals whereas the second based on internal clock generation. The sub-blocks outer encoder, pseudo-random inter-leaver and inner encoder of the SCCC encoder are optimized, implemented and simulated using QCADesigner and then integrated to design a compact SCCC encoder. The energy dissipation is computed using QCADesigner-E. The proposed SCCC encoder reduced the total area by 46% and energy dissipation by 50% when compared to the reference SCCC encoder. The proposed encoders are more efficient in terms of cell count, energy dissipation and area occupancy respectively.
