    Abstract: A communication system for communicating control data between a processor and an interface includes configuration registers, a packet processor, an interrupt processor, a timing monitor, a configuration sampler, a control-frame processor, a mode selector, and a transceiver. The processor, timing monitor, and configuration sampler generate control data, a timing signal and frame structure data, respectively. The packet processor generates a transmit control configuration packet, which includes the control data. The control-frame processor inserts the transmit control configuration packet into a first control frame, outputs the control frame to the interface and extracts a receive-configuration packet from a second control frame for generating one or more interrupts. The mode selector generates mode and idle signals for determining the mode of the interface, based on the idle signal. In one implementation, the system uses JESD control frames to reduce GPIO pin usage.

    Abstract: An apparatus for reception and detection of RACH data in an LTE input signal includes a hardware accelerator that has a decimator that filters and down-samples the input signal, a first Fourier transform circuit that transforms the decimated signal from the time domain to the frequency domain, and a second transform circuit that multiplies the resulting signal by a complex Z-C sequence and performs an inverse Fourier transform (iFT) operation to transform the multiplied signal from the frequency domain to the time domain. A DSP performs a delay profile analysis operation on the signal resulting from the iFT operation.

    Abstract: A FIR filter includes segment cells, each of which is configurable as an interpolation filter, a decimation filter, a symmetric filter, or an asymmetric filter. Two or more of the segment cells are configurable to be cascaded to form an interpolation filter, a decimation filter, a symmetric filter, an asymmetric filter, a complex symmetric filter, or a complex asymmetric filter. The FIR filter includes registers corresponding to the segment cells for storing coefficient values of the corresponding segment cells. The FIR filter further includes control circuits corresponding to the segment cells for generating control signals.

    Abstract: A system for mapping control and user data includes a direction scanner, an address calculator, a collision detector, a buffer, and a mapper for mapping control and user data from a first memory to a second memory. The direction scanner determines the highest priority value of to a code word index. The address calculator calculates start and end addresses of the highest priority value. When an address from an address range, defined by the start and end addresses, is already mapped to other control data, the collision detector detects a collision and generates feedback data. The address calculator outputs modified start and end addresses based on the feedback data. When no collision is detected, the address calculator outputs the modified start and end addresses to the buffer. The mapper then maps the control and user data to the modified start and end addresses in the second memory.

    Abstract: For a baseband digital front-end (BDFE) processor that communicates with one or more radio-frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) chips over two or more JESD-compliant links in a multi-antenna base station, the BDFE has JESD transmitters (TXs) and receivers (RXs) that transmit and receive data to and from the RFIC chips and a time-based generator (TBGEN) that generates sync and idle signals that ensure that the processing of the different JESD TXs and RXs are aligned in time for data associated with a single logical group of antennas. The TBGEN has hardware-based alignment circuitry that generates the sync and idle signals, thereby avoiding the latency and unpredictability inherent with software-based solutions.

    Abstract: An eNode-B includes PUSH mapping hardware for improved performance. A scheduler schedules first and second code words of first and second respective user devices. A buffer receives and stores first and second identifiers. A de-multiplexer outputs a first code word number based on the first identifier and a second code word number based on the second identifier. A set of completion queues store the first and second code word numbers. A sequence controller generates first and second select signals corresponding to the first and second identifiers. A multiplexer outputs one of the first and second code word numbers based on the select signals, and the scheduler schedules the first and second code words based on the first and second identifiers.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) in an unresponsive radio equipment (RE) node includes a common public radio interface (CPRI) controller, a processor, and a system reset controller that includes an L1 (Layer 1) reset controller. The CPRI controller generates a reset request signal based on a CPRI reset request received from an RE controller (REC). The L1 reset controller generates a traffic stop signal based on the reset request signal. The CPRI controller generates a traffic idle signal based on the traffic stop signal. The L1 reset controller receives the traffic idle signal before a predetermined time period and generates a system reset signal for resetting the processor, thereby recovering the unresponsive RE node without disrupting the network topology of a communication system that includes the REC and multiple RE nodes including the unresponsive RE node connected via a CPRI link.
