Abstract

A PET decoder for an ATM network has a modular architecture including a processing unit having various memories and a processing pipeline for constructing from a block of m data of a certain number of bits, a square matrix A based on a vector D of relative points over the Galois field. The processing pipeline also decomposes by triangular factorization the square matrix A and solves the subsystem of equations by simple substitution. The decoder also includes a control unit interfacing with the ATM network, a programmable parallel processor, a random access memory and the processing unit.
