Abstract : Viterbi decoding is the best technique for decoding the convolutional codes. It has been widely deployed in many
wireless communication systems to improve the capacity of the communication channels. Viterbi decoders used in digital
wireless communications are complex and dissipate large amount of power. Now a days most of the portable and hand held
devices are powered by battery devices. So for these kinds of devices, the power dissipation along with speed and area are
three major concern of VLSI design. It is known that dynamic power dissipation is about 90% to 95% of overall power
dissipation in a CMOS circuit. Many techniques have been proposed to reduce dynamic power dissipation. These techniques
can be applied at different levels of digital design, such as the algorithmic level, the architectural level, the gate level and the
circuit level. In this paper, we have considered pruning threshold and use of multiplexer to reduce power dissipation. Though
various platforms can be used for realizing a Viterbi Decoder, Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) has been used as it
gives the designer flexibility for a programmable solution, the performance of a custom solution and lowering overall cost.
The FPGA also adds design flexibility and adaptability with optimal device utilization conserving both boards space and
system power..
