摘要:
Variable modulation within combined LDPC (Low Density Parity Check) coding and modulation coding systems. Variable modulation encoding of LDPC coded symbols is presented. In addition, LDPC encoding, that generates an LDPC variable code rate signal, may also be performed as well. The encoding can generate an LDPC variable code rate and/or modulation signal whose code rate and/or modulation may vary as frequently as on a symbol by symbol basis. Some embodiments employ a common constellation shape for all of the symbols of the signal sequence, yet individual symbols may be mapped according different mappings of the commonly shaped constellation; such an embodiment may be viewed as generating a LDPC variable mapped signal. In general, any one or more of the code rate, constellation shape, or mapping of the individual symbols of a signal sequence may vary as frequently as on a symbol by symbol basis.

True bit level decoding of TTCM (Turbo Trellis Coded Modulation) of variable rates and signal constellations. A decoding approach is presented that allows for decoding on a bit level basis that allows for discrimination of the individual bits of a symbol. Whereas prior art approaches typically perform decoding on a symbol level basis, this decoding approach allows for an improved approach in which the hard decisions/best estimates may be made individually for each of the individual bits of an information symbol. In addition, the decoding approach allows for a reduction in the total number of calculations that need to be performed as well as the total number of values that need to be stored during the iterative decoding. The bit level decoding approach is also able to decode a signal whose code rate and/or signal constellation type (and mapping) may vary on a symbol by symbol basis.
摘要:
In an encoder for encoding symbols of data using a computing device having memory constraints, a method of performing a transformation comprising loading a source block into memory of the computing device, performing an intermediate transformation of less than all of the source block, then replacing a part of the source block with intermediate results in the memory and then completing the transformation such that output symbols stored in the memory form a set of encoded symbols. A decoder can perform decoding steps in an order that allows for use of substantially the same memory for storing the received data and the decoded source block, performing as in-place transformations. Using an in-place transformation, a large portion of memory set aside for received data can be overwritten as that received data is transformed into decoded source data without requiring a similar sized large portion of memory for the decoded source data.
摘要:
A de-interleaver generates a plurality of De-interleaved Reorder Physical (DRP) addresses to simultaneously write a corresponding plurality of LLR values into a multi-banked memory such that not more than one LLR value is written into each bank of the multi-banked memory at a time. A sequence of such parallel writes results in the LLR values of a transmission of a sub-packet being stored in the memory. Address translation performed during generation of the DRP addresses causes the LLR values to be stored within the banks such that a decoder can read LLR values out of the memory in a de-interleaved sequence. Each memory location of a bank is a word-location for storing multiple related LLR values, where one LLR value is stored along with its parity values. The ability to simultaneously write to multiple LLR values is used to clear locations in a fast and efficient manner.

In an apparatus such as a turbo decoding apparatus in which it is necessary to carry out interleave operation and deinterleave operation, there are provided a memory unit (5) and a memory control unit (12) capable of changing data writing order and data reading order with respect to the memory unit (5) depending on whether data is to be interleaved or deinterleaved. With this arrangement, the single unit of memory (5) can function as an interleaver and a deinterleaver, thereby reducing the size and cost the device.
摘要:
Metric calculation design for variable code rate decoding of broadband trellis, TCM (trellis coded modulated), or TTCM (turbo trellis coded modulation). A single design can accommodate a large number of code rates by multiplexing the appropriate paths within the design. By controlling where to scale for any noise of a received symbol within a received signal, this adaptable design may be implemented in a manner that is very efficient in terms of performance, processing requirements (such as multipliers and gates), as well as real estate consumption. In supporting multiple code rates, appropriately selection of the coefficients of the various constellations employed, using the inherent redundancy and symmetry along the I and Q axes, can result in great savings of gates borrowing upon the inherent redundancy contained therein; in addition, no subtraction (but only summing) need be performed when capitalizing on this symmetry.

Provided is a method for controlling a memory for time deinterleaving in a DMB receive by using byte addressing. The memory control method includes the steps of constructing the memory by the several segments so as to store only sample data used for actual time deinterleaving during a time period corresponding to M+1 frames from a time point r through a time point r+M; storing a plurality of sample data at one memory address by accessing the memory on a segment basis through byte addressing; and generating a byte-based memory address according to a time deinterleaving rule determined by the i value, and reading one of the sample data stored at the memory address and masking and another sample data stored at the memory address according to what order sample data is to be read from the memory address, thereby making it possible to greatly reduce the complexity of a memory address decoder in the memory.

A method and apparatus is provided for interleaving and de-interleaving frame symbols using a single memory buffer. Input frame symbols are read out in an interleaved sequence (or de-interleaved sequence) on a symbol by symbol basis. Frame symbols following the input frame symbols are written into memory locations from where the input frame symbols were read.
