Occurrence of bit error is more when communication takes place in System on chip environment. By employing proper error detection and correction codes the bit error rate can be considerably reduced in On-chip communication. As System on chip involves heterogeneous system the efficiency of communication is improved when reconfigurable multiple coding schemes are preferred. Depending upon the requirements for various subsystem the correct code has to be selected. Due to the variations in input demands based on various subsystems the proper selection of codes become fuzzy in nature. In this paper Fuzzy Controller is designed to select the correct coding scheme. Inputs are given to the fuzzy controller based on the application demand of the user. The input parameters are minimum bit error rate, computational complexity and correlation level of the input data. Fuzzy Controller employs three membership functions and 27 rules to select the appropriate coding scheme. The selected coding scheme should be communicated at the proper time to the decoder. To enable the decoding process selected coding scheme is communicated effectively by using less overhead frame format. To verify the functionality of fuzzy controller random input data sets are used for testing.  


In this paper reduction of errors in turbo decoding is done using neural network. Turbo codes was one of the first thriving attempt for obtaining error correcting performance in the vicinity of the theoretical Shannon bound of –1.6 db. Parallel concatenated encoding and iterative decoding are the two techniques available for constructing turbo codes. Decrease in Eb/No necessary to get a desired bit-error rate (BER) is achieved for every iteration in turbo decoding. But the improvement in Eb/No decreases for each iteration. From the turbo encoder, the output is taken and this is added with noise, when transmitting through the channel. The noisy data is fed as an input to the neural network. The neural network is trained for getting the desired target. The desired target is the encoded data. The turbo decoder decodes the output of neural network. The neural network help to reduce the number of errors. Bit error rate of turbo decoder trained using neural network is less than the bit error rate of turbo decoder without training.

Cells wear fast in NAND flash memory of high storage density (HSD), so it is very necessary to have a long-term frequent in-time monitoring on its raw bit error rate (RBER) changes through a fast RBER estimation method. As the flash of HSD already has relatively lower reading speed, the method should not further degrade its read performance. This paper proposes an improved estimation method utilizing known data comparison, includes interleaving to balance the uneven error distribution in the flash of HSD, a fast RBER estimation module to make the estimated RBER highly linearly correlated with the actual RBER, and enhancement strategies to accelerate the decoding convergence of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes and thereby make up the rate penalty caused by the known data. Experimental results show that when RBER is close to the upper bound of LDPC code, the reading efficiency can be increased by 35.8% compared to the case of no rate penalty. The proposed method only occupies 0.039mm2 at 40nm process condition. Hence, the fast, read-performance-improving, and low-cost method is of great application potential on RBER monitoring in the flash of HSD.
