Modular, high performance 5G NR Layer 1 (PHY) solutions for Non-Terrestrial Network applications

AccelerComm’s complete physical layer solution is optimised for 5G satellite hybrid networks and related applications. Incorporating AccelerComm’s core 5G acceleration technologies to deliver unmatched link performance with industry leading Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) parameters, the solution drives the overall capacity, user experience and efficiency of a 5G satellite constellation.

The AccelerComm solution makes use of the latest advances in processor technology. AI Engines (vector processors) are able to perform critical signal processing tasks up to 20X more efficiently than conventional CPUs. By combining the power of AI Engines, arm CPUs and FPGA we are able to make maximum use of the latest space qualified hardware from leading vendors such as AMD and NXP.

Designed from the outset to be platform independent our solutions can be implemented on a wide range of platforms to meet the diverse needs of customer applications.

• Complete implementation as per 3GPP standards and O-RAN SCF specifications.
• A full Layer 1 PHY designed and developed by AccelerComm™ using a mixture of hardware and software optimized to meet the needs of satellite vendors.
• Openly Licensable.
• Pre-integrated with AccelerComm™ LDPC and Polar encoder/decoder chains and inherits all the benefits from these highly performant products.
• Minimize error floors to almost completely avoid retransmissions that present a particular challenge to satellite applications.
• Configurable to support maximum throughputs and minimum timing requirements for all numerologies.
• Efficient design that saves device area and power.
• Easy to integrate using industry standard AXI interfaces.
• Critical performance algorithms implemented in hardware and maximum flexibility through optimised arm code running on A53’s.
• Fully tested for conformance to the 3GPP standard.

• RTL
• C/Matlab Models
• Test bench
