N2 - In this paper, a low-power design of Viterbi de-coder is presented. Based on the adaptive Viterbi algorithm, we use a dynamic setting method to set various threshold values for different decoding stages under a particular SNR and effi-cient reduce the average number of survivor paths. Further-more, a flexible soft intellectual property core and an auxiliary software system for low-power Viterbi decoder are proposed. In the VLSI realization, we apply the clock-gating technique to disable the activation of registers for nonsurvivor paths. Hence, the power consumption can be reduced. Compared with others, our design requires the lower power consumption for the same SNR condition.
