Extrinsic signals
The TCP2 can enable or disable the max star function by modifying the E_MAX_STAR bit in the TCPIC3 register.
∙E_MAX_STAR = 0 = Enable max star
∙E_MAX_STAR = 1 = Disable max star
8.1Sub-block and Sliding Window Segmentation
The MAP unit splits the frame (in standalone mode) or the
If the size of the frame is n and the number of states in the encoder trellis is S, then beta states must be stored in the beta memory. To reduce the amount of memory required to store the beta states, the sliding window technique is used. This technique divides the frame size n into several smaller pieces of size r (reliability section). Because the starting state is unknown, a prolog section is added. The initial state of the starting location of the prolog section is unknown. After processing the prolog states and the constraint length, the values of the last prolog states have a high probability of being in the same states as if the states were known from the start. Each
