GEO-Mobile Radio (GMR) is an ETSI standard for satellite phones.

Contact Provider Request Datasheet

Overview

GEO-Mobile Radio (GMR) is an ETSI standard for satellite phones. The Creonic GMR Decoder IP core supports the PNB2 burst packets that were added in GMR Release 2 (GMPRS-1) and use LDPC codes for the first time. The same burst modes and LDPC codes are also in GMR Release 3 (GMR-3G). The GMR LDPC decoder IP core is a field-proven solution.
 

Key features

  • Compliant with GMR Release 2, ETSI TS 101 376-5-3 V2.3.1 (2008-07) (GMPRS-1 05.003)
  • Compliant with GMR Release 3, ETSI TS 101 376-5-3 V3.1.1 (2009-07) (GMR-3G 45.003)
  • Support for return and forward link.
  • Support for short PNB2 (5,3) bursts and long PNB2 (5,12) bursts
  • Support for all PNB2 modulation schemes (Pi/4-QPSK, 16-APSK, 32-APSK)
  • Support for all PNB2 shortening, repeating, and puncturing schemes.
  • Support for all PNB2 LDPC codes (approximate channel coding rates 1/2, 2/3, 4/5, 9/10)

Benefits

Practical Considerations of LDPC Decoder Design in Communications Systems

This paper covers some practical aspects of designing the LDPC decoder starting from comparison between different techniques, different decoders parameters or standards, the effect of those parameters on the LDPC performance, also it discusses the algorithm selection process, and floating point implementation process.

Audio Transport in DisplayPort VIP

DisplayPort uses Secondary Data Packets (SDPs), which are transported over the Main-Link that are not main video stream data. This allows it to carry audio and video simultaneously. The VIP supports audio transmission both in the original mode as defined in the specification as well as just as any other SDP being transmitted.
