Abstract

The generation of pseudo-random sequences at a high rate is animportant issue in modern communication schemes. The representationof a sequence can be scaled by decimation to obtain parallelism andmore precisely a sub-sequences generator. Sub-sequences generatorsand therefore decimation have been extensively used in the past forlinear feedback shift registers (LFSRs). However, the case ofautomata with a non linear feedback is still in suspend. In thispaper, we have studied how to transform of a feedback with carryshit register (FCSR) into a sub-sequences generator. We examine twosolutions for this transformation, one based on the decimationproperties of l-sequences, i.e.FCSR sequenceswith maximal period, and the other one based on multiple stepsimplementation. We show that the solution based on the decimationproperties leads to much more costly results than in the case ofLFSRs. For the multiple steps implementation, we show how thepropagation of carries affects the design.
