Abstract(in English) When Viterbi decoder is implemented with hard-wired logic, in order to adapt various decode conditions by changing the constraint length or decode precisions, dedicated hardware circuits for each condition are required and switched resulting extra cost and consuming power. Although this redundant hardware can be omitted by replacing the hardwired logic on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), the time for loading configuration data often takes milliseconds and causes too long system stall. In this paper, we implemented the Viterbi algorithms whose constraint length are from 3 to 5 on Dynamic Reconfigurable Processor DAPDNA-II and replaced them according to the requirement. A certain threshold of BER is set for a fixed SNR and the Viterbi decoder with multiple constraint lengths is simulated. In the result of evaluation, when the at least 4.50Mbps throughput is ensured even with frequent reconfiguration was performed, the power consumption is reduced by 30%-80% compared with the case when a constraint length of the best performance is only utilized.
