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

Log-map algorithm is implemented in a highly paralleled manner using the sliding window principle. The max-log-map algorithm is implemented with apriori scaled prior to the map decoder.

8.1Sub-block and Sliding Window Segmentation

The MAP unit splits the frame (in standalone mode) or the sub-frame (in shared processing mode) into sub-blocks.

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 sub-block consists of 1or 2 sliding windows. Each sliding window consists of three portions:

Alpha prolog portion

Reliability portion

Beta Prolog portion
