In this paper, we discuss the main challenges and our solutions proposed for implementation of a high-speed data link layer processor. Our target is to achieve processing throughput faster than 20 Gbps. Meanwhile a single core of our implementation achieves ''only'' ~28 Gbps, we propose a multi-core solution that can run up to ~110 Gbps. For this purpose, we use baseband signal splitters and combiners. Alternatively, we come up with Parallel Sequence Spread Spectrum (PSSS). After splitting the input signal, we divide the required processing-effort among a set of parallel baseband and data link layer processors. The discussed data link layer processor uses hybrid-automatic-repeat-request-I (HARQ-I) with link adaptation and selective fragment repetitions. Such solution significantly improves the efficiency of the method and allows to reduce the implementation complexity when compared to HARQ-III. The main issue discussed in the article is power and energy consumption. Our solution consumes maximally 300 mW at 27.9 Gbps, including forward error correction (FEC) engine.
