4G LTE/LTE-A Turbo Decoder

Overview

LTE and LTE Advanced (LTE-A) are the mobile broadband standards of the 4th generation. Current LTE installtion provides data rates of up to 300 Mbit/s. LTE-A increases the throughput to up to 1 Gbit/s.

Creonic's LTE/LTE-A IP Core is an advanced, customer-proven implementation of the standardized 3GPP turbo code.

Key Features

  • Support for 3GPP Release 8 LTE turbo decoding
  • Support for 3GPP Release 10 LTE Advanced turbo decoding
  • Support for codewort CRC and up to four transport block CRCs
  • Soft information output available

Benefits

  • Silicon-proven.
  • Throughput up to 1 Gbit/s.
  • Design-time configuration of input quantization.
  • Configurable amount of turbo decoder iterations for trading-off throughput and error correction performance.
  • Available for ASIC and FPGAs (Xilinx, Intel).
  • Deliverable includes VHDL source code or synthesized netlist, VHDL testbench, and bit-accurate Matlab, C or C++ simulation model.

Applications

  • LTE/LTE-A modem chipset for base station (BS) or user equipment (UE)
  • Applications with highest demands on forward error correction
  • Applications with the need for a wide range of code rates and block lengths

Deliverables

  • An IP core may contain the following elements:
    • Hardware model as netlist for Xilinx or Altera FPGAs
    • Hardware model as VHDL source code
    • Bit-accurate software reference model as pre-compiled library for Linux or Windows. You can easily integrate this model into your Matlab, C or C++ environment.
    • Test environment for the hardware of the IP core consisting of VHDL testbench and test data as well as post-synthesis simulation model or pre-compiled simulation model.
  • Delivery will be made either by download from our FTP server or by encrypted email.
