Overview

Interleaving is a technique commonly used in communication systems to overcome correlated channel noise such as burst error or fading. The interleaver rearranges input data such that consecutive data are spaced apart. At the receiver end, the interleaved data is arranged back into the original sequence by the de-interleaver. As a result of interleaving, correlated noise introduced in the transmission channel appears to be statistically independent at the receiver and thus allows better error correction.

The Lattice Interleaver/de-interleaver IP core supports rectangular block type and convolutional architectures. Rectangular interleaving arranges the input data row-wise in a matrix. The interleaved data is obtained by reading the columns of the matrix. Convolutional interleaving feeds the input data to a number of branches, each of which has a shift register with pre-defined length. The output data is taken from the branch outputs. Lattice’s Convolutional Interleaver/de-interleaver IP Cores are compliant with ATSC and DVB standards, while the Rectangular Interleaver/de-interleaver is compliant with IEEE 802.16a standard.

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.
