Overview

3GPP compliant coding and modulation for Downlink Physical Shared Channels

The Physical Downlink Shared Channel (PDSCH) is used for downlink data which is shared from the gNB between time and frequency. This channel contains user equipment control messages, downlink user data and system information. The PDSCH channel needs to be designed with flexibility in mind to support various modulation and coding schemes.

AccelerComm’s family of integrated 5G NR channel products, namely PDSCH Encoder and PUSCH Decoder. On this page we detail the PDSCH Encoder which provides Forward Error Correction (FEC) encoding and decoding capabilities along with the complete Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) modulation and demodulation functionality for downlink data processing in a gNB/base station.

* This IP is implemented as per the latest 3GPP specifications and are compliant with TS 38.211 and 38.212.
* The new QAM modulator functionality complements the existing high performance AccelerComm LDPC and Polar encoder/decoder solutions.
* Like all AccelerComm IP the LDPC and modulator is configurable to several different parallelisms to optimise for SWaP (Size, Weight & Power) of each integration.

Key features

  • The PDSCH Encoder and PUSCH Decoder products simplify the creation of high performance 5G NR implementations.
  • PDSCH Encoder features the new QAM mapper and Scrambler functionality. These are integrated with LDPC encoder chain and transport block chain components.
  • PDSCH encoder has a configurable IQ parallelism for improved performance per clock.
  • The functions included are CRC, Segmentation, LDPC encode, Rate matching, Integrated HARQ, Concatenation, Scrambling and Modulation.
  • The tight AccelerComm integration and configurability leads to optimal SWaP solutions.
  • This 5G channel IP is delivered as RTL and can be synthesised for FPGA & ASIC target devices.

Provider

AccelerComm Limited
HQ: UK
AccelerComm is a semiconductor IP-core company specialising in channel coding solutions. Five years in development, and drawing on the team’s 50 person-years of channel coding experience and research, AccelerComm’s patent pending ultra low latency turbo decoding IP is unique, delivering 10X throughput and 10X latency improvement over existing products. Ideal for meeting the requirements of LTE-Advanced Pro, (3GPP rel 14), our solution is capable of throughputs of 20Gbps and sub- micro second latency, whilst maintaining hardware efficiency, (throughput per unit area) and low power consumption. This AccelerComm unique technology achieves unprecedented performance whilst laying down the technology foundation for future wireless applications and services. To meet the demands of 5G NR, we are developing polar encode and decode IP, which like all our products will be available for FPGA and ASIC implementations very soon...

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.
