DVB-RCS and WiMAX Turbo Decoder with Optional Viterbi Decoder

This is a fully compatible DVB-RCS and IEEE 802.16 WiMAX error control decoder.

Overview

This is a fully compatible DVB-RCS and IEEE 802.16 WiMAX error control decoder. The decoder can be used to decode the standard 8 state duo-binary tail-biting turbo code or 64 state convolutional code. The PCD03D offers unparalleled speed, performance, low complexity and features compared to other available DVB-RCS or IEEE 802.16 WiMAX decoder cores.

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.
