DESCRIPTION:Prof. Emmanuel Boutillon\, Lab-STICC\, Université de Bretagne
  Sud\nIn this two fold presentation\, we will first present new results on
  Non Binary Low Density Parity Check (NB-LDPC) code. NB-LDPC codes are err
 or correcting codes that outperform the binary error control codes propose
 d for the next 5G communication standard. The drawback of NB-LDPC codes is
  their higher hardware decoding complexity. Some recent results on simplif
 ied hardware architecture implementation will be presented.\n\nThe second 
 part of the talk will be dedicated to the benefits of noise in error contr
 ol decoders. In natural science\, noise is sometimes recognized as a sourc
 e of innovation and improvement (erroneous copy of DNA in evolution\, micr
 o-saccade of eyes for high resolution vision). In the signal processing co
 mmunity\, the idea of using noise to resolve some particular detection and
  estimation problems is rather old (stochastic resonance). In spite of its
  potential\, “noised aided signal processing” stays marginal. In this 
 presentation we will show how noise can help a simple decoding algorithm t
 o decode efficiently Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) Code. Hardware implem
 entation of a "noise assisted" decoder can compete in terms of area\, powe
 r dissipation and performance with the best known classical hardware imple
 mentation.\n\nBio: Emmanuel Boutillon received the Engineering Diploma fro
 m the Telecom Paris Tech\, Paris\, France in 1990. In 1991\, he worked as 
 an assistant professor in the Ecole Multinationale Supérieure des Téléc
 ommunications in Africa (Dakar). In 1992\, he joined Telecom Paris Tech as
  a research engineer where he conducted research in the field of VLSI for 
 digital communications. He obtained his Ph.D in 1995. In 1998\, he spent a
  sabbatical year at the University of Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada. In 2000\
 , he moved to the University of Bretagne Sud as a professor. He headed the
  LESTER lab from 2005 up to end of 2007 and the CACS department between 20
 08 up to 2015. He is currently the scientific adviser of the lab-STICC. In
  2011\, he had a sabbatical year at INICTEL-UNI\, Lima (Peru).\n\nHis rese
 arch interests are on the interactions between algorithm and architecture 
 in the field of wireless communications and high speed signal processing. 
 In particular\, he works on Turbo Codes and LDPC decoders.
