F > 20730 Shared processing
In standalone (SA) mode, the DSP sends the systematic and parity data, and the interleaver table. TheTCP2 then works independently of the DSP (standalone), iterates a defined maximum number of times,and outputs hard decision data. In this mode, minimum DSP processing is required. A stopping criteriacan be enabled to reduce the processing delay (see Section 4.3 ). Figure 4 shows the SA mode.
The standalone mode is used for frames in which the turbo interleaver length is less than or equal to20730. In this mode, the systematic, parities, extrinsics, and turbo interleaver data fit within the TCP2memory, and several iterations of decoding are run within the coprocessor without any DSP intervention.
The DSP sets up the EDMA3 to send the systematic and parity data, and the interleaver table (optional).The TCP2 then works independently of the DSP.
