Abstract :
With the advance in technology and the rapid development of integrated low power devices; the need for efficient reconfigurable modules and systems becomes more essential. The 802.16 standard is pressing in this direction as well. While developing a complete wireless communication system that satisfies the standard, we are tackling different modules to come up with highest throughput, as well as the reasonable reconfigurability while trying to keep the power consumption to the minimum. As a result we developed a reconfigurable concatenated convolution-puncturing fabric as a part of the 802.16 physical layer transmitter, using parallel punctured convolution encoder technique. The module supports all rates specified in the standard and provides 100 Mbps throughput.
