An important trend of the modern mobile device is that a single user terminal that will be capable of receiving signals of multiple different transmission standards. Most of these transmission standards employ a forward error correction decoding, including Reed-Solomon, Viterbi, Turbo and low-density parity check and so on. In this overview paper we review several programmable and area-efficient decoder architectures within one hardware platform. We show, in the case of guaranteed throughput performance, compared with multi-core implementation way, better power consumption performance can be gotten.
