Abstract
Disclosed is a method for selecting a design option for a Viterbi decoder model. In some embodiments, the method includes deriving a set of design options for a Viterbi decoder model by differentiating at least one design parameter, where the at least one design parameter comprises at least a first value for a look-ahead parameter. The method further includes performing an evaluation of each design option in the set of design options in a multi-dimensional design space and, based on the evaluation of each design option, selecting a design option in the set of design options that (i) satisfies a predetermined energy efficiency constraint and (ii) yields at least a second value for the look-ahead parameter, wherein the second value is greater than the first value and satisfies a predetermined area budget.
