About This Manual
Channel decoding of high bit-rate data channels found in third-generation (3G) cellular standards requires
decoding of turbo-encoded data. The turbo-decoder coprocessor (TCP2) in some of the digital signal
processors (DSPs) of the TMS320C6000™ DSP family has been designed to perform this operation for
IS2000 and 3GPP wireless standards. This document describes the operation and programming of the
TCP2 for the TMS320C6457 DSPs.
Notational Conventions
This document uses the following conventions.
•
Hexadecimal numbers are shown with the suffix h. For example, the following number is 40
hexadecimal (decimal 64): 40h.
•
Registers in this document are shown in figures and described in tables.
–
Each register figure shows a rectangle divided into fields that represent the fields of the register.
Each field is labeled with its bit name, its beginning and ending bit numbers above, and its
read/write properties below. A legend explains the notation used for the properties.
–
Reserved bits in a register figure designate a bit that is used for future device expansion.
•
The term "word" describes a 32-bit value. The term "halfword" describes a 16-bit value.

TMS320C6457 Turbo-Decoder Coprocessor 2
Channel decoding of high bit-rate data channels found in third-generation (3G) cellular standards requires
decoding of turbo-encoded data. The turbo-decoder coprocessor (TCP2) in some of the digital signal
processor (DSPs) of the TMS320C6000E DSP family has been designed to perform this operation for
IS2000 and 3GPP wireless standards. This document describes the operation and programming of the
TCP2.

Features
The TCP2 provides:
•
High performance:
–
–
–
Very-low-processing delay because of the highly paralleled architecture allowing 8 iterations of a 2
Mbps 3GPP channel to be decoded in less than 1.2 ms and an IS2000 channel in less than 1.2 ms.
Processing delay can be further reduced by enabling a stopping criteria algorithm while achieving
optimal BER performance.
TCP2 and the DSP can run full speed in parallel.
•
System cost optimization:
–
–
Reduces board space and power consumption by performing on-chip turbo-decoding.
Communication between the DSP and the TCP2 is performed through a high performance DMA
engine, the enhanced DMA (EDMA3).
–
TCP2 uses its own optimized memories, reducing system memory overhead and yielding higher
overall performance.
–
–
Increased programmability.
Power efficient and module power-saver capabilities.
•
•
High flexibility to cope with standard evolutions:
–
–
Accepts all IS2000, 3GPP rates, and polynomials.
Accepts any frame length from 40 (3GPP minimum frame size) up to 20730 for standalone
processing. Frame sizes greater than 20730 can be processed by breaking them up into smaller
subframes for processing in shared processing mode.
–
–
Supports all interleaver combinations via interleaver table.
Frees-up DSP resources.
Improvements over TCP:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Standalone mode frame length increased from 5114 to 20730.
Code rates 1/2,1/3,1/4 and 1/5 (other rates via de-puncturing may be achieved).
Prolog reduction.
Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) stopping criteria.
Channel re-encoding.
Max-Log Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) option added to TCP2 (Max*-Log MAP still available).
Input sign programmable.
Debug mode added to allow pausing after each MAP.
Decision ordering programmable as MSB first or LSB first.
Extrinsic scaling added for Max-Log MAP.

Overview
uses the corresponding estimates from the other decoder as a priori likelihood. The a priori information
is seen as beforehand knowledge, meaning that some messages are more likely to occur than others.
A posteriori information adds to the a priori information the knowledge gained by the decoding.
The uncoded information bits (corrupted by the noisy channel) are available to each decoder to
initialize the a priori likelihoods. The decoders use the Maximum a Posteriori (MAP) bitwise decoding
algorithm that requires the same number of states as the well known Viterbi algorithm. The turbo
decoder iterates between the outputs of the two constituent decoders until it reaches satisfactory
convergence. The final output is a hard-quantized version of the likelihood estimates of the decoders.

Overview
typically sends and receives data using synchronized EDMA3 transfers through the 64-bit EDMA3 bus.
The TCP2 sends two synchronization events to the EDMA3: a receive event (TCPREVT) and a transmit
event (TCPXEVT).
The processing unit can implement the Max*-Log-MAP or Max-Log-MAP approximations of the BCJR
algorithm and is selected with the E_MAX_STAR bit of the TCPIC3 register. (See L. R. Bahl, J. Cocke, F.
Jelinek, and J. Raviv, "Optimal decoding of linear codes for minimizing symbol error rate",. IEEE Trans.
Inform.Theory, vol. IT.20, pp. 284.287, Mar. 1974 and P. Robertson, E. Villebrun, and P. Hoeher, "A
comparison of optimal and sub-optimal MAP decoding algorithms operating in the log domain", in Proc.
1996 IEEE Int. Conf. on Communications (Seattle, WA), June 1995, vol. 2, pp. 1009-1013.)
The TCP2 has two fundamental modes: standalone (SA) and shared processing (SP).
In SA mode, the TCP2 iterates a given number of times and outputs hard decisions. In SP mode, the
TCP2 executes a single MAP decode and outputs extrinsic information (soft information). SA mode is
typically used for frame sizes up to 20730. SP mode must be used for frames strictly larger than 20730.
The TCP2 input data corresponds to channel log-likelihood ratios scaled on 6 bits, while the TCP2 output
data to hard-decisions (SA mode) or extrinsics (SP mode) scaled on 7 bits.

Standalone (SA) Mode
In standalone (SA) mode, the DSP sends the systematic and parity data, and the interleaver table. The
TCP2 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 criteria
The standalone mode is used for frames in which the turbo interleaver length is less than or equal to
20730. In this mode, the systematic, parities, extrinsics, and turbo interleaver data fit within the TCP2
memory, 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.

Standalone (SA) Mode
One iteration of turbo decoding consists of 2 MAPs processing, the first MAP with the initial switch position
(as shown in Figure 4), the second MAP with the other position of the switch. After each MAP, a stopping
test can be performed based on the following methods. These tests are user configurable.

Max iterations
When starting a decoding, you must supply a maximum number of iterations and optionally an SNR
threshold ratio (or CRC) for the stopping test. If the stopping test is positive or the maximum number of
iterations is reached, the decoding stops, the hard decisions are computed (from both extrinsic and
systematic data), and then the coprocessor notifies EDMA3 that the processing is complete. In Figure 4,
switch positions are for MAP0 and opposite positions are for MAP1.

4.1 Input Data Format
4.1.1
Systematic and Parity Data
Symbols (data) have to be quantized on 6 bits as (4,2) bit numbers, that is, SIII.FF (where S = sign bit, I =
integer bit, F = fractional bit). Depending on the rate, Figure 6 through Figure 16 show how data must be
organized in the DSP memory to conform to a rate that is 1/5 of the input data stream, which TCP2
requires. The base address must be double-word aligned. For big-endian configuration, see the TCP2
endian register (TCPEND) in Section 6.22. Also note that interleaved parities must be de-interleaved prior
to being sent to TCP2.

Interleaver Indexes
Each index is a 15-bit value being effectively saved as 16 bits right-justified. Given an index j, an
interleaver table t, and a data x, the interleaved data x is given as x' = x[t(j)]. Table 2 shows how data
must be organized in the memory. The base address must be double-word aligned. For big-endian

4.2 Output Decision Data Format
Hard decisions for TCP2 are 32-bit word-packed. The bit ordering within the 32-bit hard-decision word is
programmable, such that the oldest bit can be either in the MSB or the LSB position. Their destination
storage base address must be double-word aligned. Moreover, the buffer length must contain an even
number of words.
4.3 Stopping Criteria
The turbo decoder has an iterative structure, and the number of iterations that are performed for each
frame is either a deterministic number or it depends on a test performed on the turbo decoder output after
each iteration. In the first case, you decide how many iterations should be performed prior to decoding a
frame. In the second case, the turbo decoder performs tests after each iteration to determine whether the
iterative process should continue. In this case, the boundary conditions are programmed (for example, the
minimum and the maximum number of iterations that should be performed). The tests performed are the
SNR stopping criterion and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) iterations passed.
This SNR stopping criterion on TCP2 can be used by setting the SNR threshold from 1 to 100 (0 disables
the SNR threshold check). The stopping criteria is met and a TCPREVT is generated when the SNR
threshold is met, the minimum iterations have been processed, and sufficient CRC iterations have passed,
if CRC is enabled. This indicates that decisions are ready for the EDMA3 to access.
Larger thresholds improve bit-error rate (BER) performance, but require more iterations. Smaller
thresholds require fewer iterations, but may yield poorer BER performance. The actual number of
iterations run can be read from the output parameters.

Standalone (SA) Mode
The CRC-based stopping criterion can be used by setting the CRC polynomial length (CRCLEN) and the
number of CRC iterations required to pass CRCITERPASS. After each iteration, hard decisions are
computed and a CRC is performed. The CRC polynomial is a programmable 32-bit number. To avoid
situations where a CRC test passes for a very noisy frame of data, the hard decisions need to pass the
CRC test for a number of consecutive iterations, which is user-defined via the CRCITERPASS bit field.
4.4 Stopping Test Unit
Turbo decoders are iterative decoders. Each iteration consists of two MAP decodes except the last
iteration that executes only the first MAP decode. The turbo decoder can iterate up to 32 iterations. The
decoder will continue to iterate until one of the following conditions occur: meet parameter conditions,
CRC passed, or SNR threshold passed.
4.4.1
SNR Threshold Termination
The stopping criteria algorithm generates the first two moments of the extrinsics, generates an SNR ratio,
and compares the ratio with a threshold. If the calculated ratio exceeds the threshold, then the decoder
has found an optimum solution. The decoder can then stop executing any further iterations. The
calculated SNR ratio is generated after each MAP process. The threshold is a user input and can range
from 0 to 100. Larger thresholds give better results but require more iterations. Smaller thresholds require
fewer iterations and give can give poorer results. Setting the threshold to 0 disables the stopping criteria
algorithm.
The stopping criteria contains two parts. The first part executes on each extrinsic value. The sum of the
extrinsics and the sum of the extrinsics squared are calculated. The second part is executed once at the
end of each MAP block. The first moment is squared and multiplied by the sum of 1 plus the inverse of the
threshold. The second moment is multiplied by the number of symbols per frame. The two results are
compared. If the result is positive, then the stopping criteria has been met.
The turbo decoder will generate a block of extrinsics after each MAP decode. The SNR stopping criteria
block calculates the mean and the variance for this block. It will divide the two and compare the result with
the snr_threshold. If the result is greater then the snr_threshold for two consecutive MAP decodes, then
the decoder will stop executing. The DSP sets the snr_threshold parameter. The SNR stopping criteria
can be turned off with a value of 0. Enabled values for snr_threshold range from 1 to 100. A value of 100
gives the best BER performance at a cost of the most iterations executed, and a value of 1 gives the
worst BER performance at a cost of the fewest iterations. Recommended setting for this parameter is 100.
4.4.2
CRC Termination
A frame of data is sent through a CRC block which appends crc_length number of bits to the frame. This
frame is encoded by the turbo encoder. The polynomial for the CRC check is defined with the crc_poly
parameter. The turbo decoder will generate hard decision bits after each non-interleaved MAP decode.
These bits are processed by the CRC block within the decoder. If the last crc_length bits match the CRC
pattern, then the CRC check has passed. The turbo decoder will stop executing after CRCITERPASS
number of consecutive CRC passes as programmed in TCPIC4.
The coefficients and the size of the CRC polynomial are programmable. The size of the polynomial is
defined with the parameter crc_length and can be set from 0 to 32 bits. A value of 0 disables the CRC
check, values between 1 and 32 enable the CRC check. The CRC polynomial is defined with the crc_poly
parameter. The CRC unit will not be enabled until the decoder iteration count is equal or greater than the
min_iter parameter. The turbo decoder will generate hard decisions after each non-interleaved MAP
decode. These bits are processed by the CRC block within the decoder. If the last set of frame bits match
the CRC pattern, then the CRC check has passed. The turbo decoder must pass a number of consecutive
iterations to terminate before max_iter. The number of consecutive iterations passed is defined with the
crc_iter_pass parameter. The crc_iter_pass parameter can be set from 0 to 31, a zero is equal to 1
iteration. The dec_pass output parameter will be set to a 1 if the decoder terminated due to a passing
CRC.
During the sub-block execution, up to 256 sets of data will be stored in a double buffered RAM whose size
is 265x7x2. Two bits each will be stored for x0, p0, and p1. One bit is the sign bit and the other bit is set if
the symbol is equal to a zero. These 6 bits will be used for re-encoding. The seventh bit will be the hard
decision bit. This bit is the sign of the following summation: (x+a+w).

Shared-Processing (SP) Mode
The CRC will process one sub-block at time using the data stored from the previous sub-block. The
decision bit will be used by a CRC block. After all sub-blocks have been processed, the CRC bits in the
CRC block are checked and compared with the last crc_length bits of the frame. If they all match, then the
CRC passes.
4.4.3
Parameter Termination
The parameters min_iter and max_iter need to be set prior to decode. The decoder must execute min_iter
number of iterations. This parameter can be set from 0 to 31. The decoder will stop executing when the
iteration count equals max_iter. Max_iter can be set from 0 to 31 and must be equal or greater than
min_iter. A zero for max is equal to 32 iterations. A zero for min is equal to 1 iteration.
4.4.3.1
Maximum Iterations
Turbo decoders execute the MAP decoder twice per iteration. One execution is for non-interleaved data
and the other execution is for interleaved data. This parameter sets the maximum number of decoder
iterations for each block of data. Valid sizes are 0 to 31. If either the CRC passed or the SNR stopping
criteria threshold has been exceeded, then the decoder will stop early. The last iteration will only process
the MAP decoder for the non-interleaved data.
4.4.3.2
Minimum Iterations
Turbo decoders execute the MAP decoder twice per iteration. One execution is for non-interleaved data
and the other execution is for interleaved data. This parameter sets the minimum number of decoder
iterations for each block of data. Valid sizes are 0 to 31 and the min_iter must be less than or equal to the
max_iter. The CRC unit will not be enabled until the decoder iteration count is equal or greater than the
min_iter parameter. The turbo decoder will not process the CRC, re-encode, or write to the output RAM
until the minimum number of iterations has been reached.
5
Shared-Processing (SP) Mode
In shared-processing (SP) mode, the DSP sends systematic and parity data, and a priori data. The TCP
performs one single MAP decode and outputs extrinsic data. A priori data for MAP1 is obtained by
de-interleaving the extrinsic data from the previous MAP2, and a priori data for MAP2 is obtained by
interleaving the extrinsics data from the previous MAP1. An overview of the SP mode is shown in
Figure 16. Note that the systematic and parity data to be sent to the TCP has to be demultiplexed from the
original flow described in Section 5.1. The DSP must perform the input data demultiplexing, interleaving,
deinterleaving operations, hard decision calculation, and any stopping criteria algorithm.

The shared-processing mode allows the DSP/TCP2 system to support frames strictly larger than 20730.
The DSP breaks the large frame into 2 or more smaller frames of 20480 or less. Each frame is called a
subframe. The size of all the subframes (except the last subframe) must be divisible by 256. The DSP
breaks the large frame into several sub-frames following the process shown below. The first subframe
does not have a header section and its tail section is equal to the prolog size. The middle subframe
header and tail section sizes are each equal to the prolog size. The last subframe header size is equal to
the prolog size and the tail section is equal to the tail size. The prolog size must be integer divisible by 8.
The sub-frames reliability portions are sequenced in order to create the full frame.
1. The first subframe (required) will have a opmode of 1. The middle subframe(s) (optional) have a
opmode of 2. The last subframe (required) will have a opmode of 3.
2. The size of all the subframes (except the last subframe) must be integer divisible by 256 and Max sub
frame size = 20480 = 80*256.
3. The first and middle subframes should have the same size. The last subframe should be approximately
the same size as the other subframes.
4. The last subframe size must be at least 129.

Each sub-frame is independent of each other. There are three types of sub-frames. The first sub-frame
starts the trellis from the zero state. The last sub-frame ends the trellis from a known state. The remaining
middle subframes do not start or end from a known state.
The EDMA3 transfers ACNT*BCNT number of bytes in A-Sync Mode and ACNT*BCNT*CCNT number of
bytes in AB-Sync Mode. The total number of bytes for both modes should be a multiple of 8. Also, the
starting address of the first sub-frame that the EDMA3 will transfer needs to be memory-mapped.
In the shared processing mode:
•
•
Prolog length must be multiples of 8
Starting address for reading extrinsic RAM must be:
RAM base address + middle and last subframes prolog length
CRC is turned off
SNR is turned off
Prolog reduction is turned off
•
•
•
•
Extrinsic scaling is turned off
The turbo decoding of the full frame is performed in several steps as described below:
•
•
•
The TCP2 performs the MAP0 for the current sub-frame.
The EDMA3 reads the MAP output (extrinsic) of the current sub-frame and writes it into the DSP
memory.
The steps for the MAP0 process are repeated for all the other sub-frames.
Once all the sub-frames MAP0 have been computed, the full MAP0 extrinsic (= apriori 1) is then available.
This allows the DSP to interleave the extrinsic output 1 to prepare the next MAP (= MAP1). Once this
interleaving is done, the same process is applied, in MAP1 configuration:
•
•
•
The TCP2 performs the MAP1 for the current sub-frame
The EDMA3 reads the MAP output (extrinsic) of the current sub-frame and writes it into the DSP
memory.
The steps for the MAP1 process are repeated for all the other sub-frames.
Once all the sub-frames MAP1 have been computed, the full extrinsic (=apriori 2) is then available. This
allows the DSP to de-interleave the extrinsic output 2 to prepare the next MAP (=MAP0). Once this
de-interleaving is done, the same process is applied, in MAP0 configuration. Steps 1-4 are then repeated
for all iterations. The DSP is in charge of any stopping criteria algorithm implementation and computing
the final hard decisions. Figure 19 shows a description of the TCP2 processing unit functional block
diagram in shared processing mode.

5.2 Output Data Format
The TCP2 delivers 32-bit word-packed extrinsic data. Each extrinsic is a (5,2) number; that is, SIIII.FF
(where S = sign bit, I = integer, F = fractional bit) and is right-justified with 0 in the most-significant-bit
position. Their destination storage base address must be double-word aligned. Moreover, the buffer length
must contain an even number of words.

Registers
The TCP2 contains several memory-mapped registers accessible via the CPU, QDMA, and EDMA3. A
peripheral-bus access is faster than an EDMA3-bus access for isolated accesses (typically when
accessing control registers). EDMA3-bus accesses are intended to be used for EDMA3 transfers and are
meant to provide maximum throughput to/from the TCP2.
The memory map is listed in Table 3, including all TCP2 memories (systematic and parity, interleaver,
hard decisions, a priori, and extrinsic). All addresses provided are offset addresses. For the TCP2 base
data address and TCP2 base control address, see the device-specific data manual.

6.1 Peripheral Identification Register (PID)
The peripheral identification register (PID) is a constant register that contains the ID and ID revision
number for that peripheral. The PID stores version information used to identify the peripheral. All bits
within this register are read-only (writes have no effect) meaning that the values within this register should
be hard-coded with the appropriate values and must not change from their reset state. The peripheral
identification register (PID) is shown in Figure 32 and described in Table 5. TCPIC0 configures the TCP.

6.8 Tail Symbols
The tail symbols are symbols appended to the end of the information symbols to force both the
non-interleaved encoder to the 0 state and the interleaved encoder to the 0 state. The raw input data
streams for the 6-bit tail symbols are shown in the TCP2 input registers TCPIC6 -11.
It also shows how to load the six 18-bit tail registers in standalone mode. These registers are loaded from
the EDMA3 bus. In shared mode, input registers TCPIC9 - 11 are not used. Regardless of the mode,
these 6 input parameters have to be loaded by the EDMA3 prior to any decoding.

The 16 extrinsic scale registers are 6 bits each and have a (1,5) fixed-point precision. The unsigned
fixed-point numbers can range from 0.0 to 1.0. For example, 0.5 is equal to 0.10000 or 0x10. These
registers are only used if e_max_star is 0. If e_max_star is 1, then the extrinsic scale factor is
automatically set to a 1.0. The reset value for each register is 1.0 or 0x20.
The 16 extrinsic scale registers are selected depending on the iteration number and active MAP as shown

6.26 TCP2 Emulation Register (TCPEMU)
In emulation mode, the access to TCP2 memories can be done in read or write. TCP2 supports emulation
mode. Emulation support helps in system debug. Emulation modes are achieved with the programmable
SOFT and FREE bits in the TCP2 Emulation Register (TCPEMU) at the configuration bus address

Soft emulation bit takes effect
TCP2 ignores emulation halt and runs to completion
The FREE and SOFT bits are designed to enable a flexible method of how the TCP2 is operated during
an emulation halt of the CPU. The FREE bit determines if an emulation halt of the CPU will halt the TCP2
at all. If the FREE bit is set, and an emulation halt of the CPU occurs, the TCP2 will continue processing
normally. If the FREE bit is cleared, and an emulation halt of the CPU occurs, then TCP2 will be halted in
a manner determined by the SOFT bits setting. Note that when FREE = 1, SOFT has no effect.
Given that FREE = 0, and an emulation halt of the CPU occurs, the TCP2 will halt as follows based on the
setting of SOFT bit.
SOFT = 0:
Emulation halt uses TCP2 debug mode. Any current MAP processing must complete before entering the
emulation mode.
Current data transfer on the bus should complete and pending read/write requests to/from CPU/DMA
should complete before emulation halt. If an active output event(TCPREVT/TCPXEVT) is output before
this emulation halt, it should service that request before going into a suspend state. If an active MAP is
processing before this emulation halt, TCP2 should service that request before going into a suspend state.
TCP2 will pause after each MAP processing. No new read/write events to CPU or DMA should be
generated. Any ongoing CPU or DMA read/write services to TCP2 should complete. The TCP2 will restart
from the halt state and it will run to normal completion until next emulation halt.
SOFT = 1:
Current data transfer on the bus should complete and pending read/write requests to/from CPU/DMA
should complete before emulation halt. If an active frame is processing before this emulation halt, it should
service all requests before going into suspend state. Any ongoing CPU or DMA read/write services to
TCP2 should complete. Frame processing should complete.

Endianness
The TCP2 is halted (or paused) after processing the ongoing frame. Any current frame processing must
complete. Sync vents for the new frame will be hold until TCP_EMUSUSP is released. The TCP2 is
restarted from the paused state and begins the next frame operations.
In TCP_STATE = 14, the TCP_EMUSUSP will have no effect. The TCP2 will go to the next state
(TCP_STATE=0) and then the emususp will be processed.
In TCP_STATE = 0, the TCP_EMUSUSP will cause the emuack to go active if no EDMA3 transactions
are active.
In TCP_STATE = 1, the TCP_EMUSUSP will cause the emuack to go active if no EDMA3 transactions
are active. The memory_access error bit will not go active if emuack = 1, and the tcp_int will not trigger if
the memories are accessed while emuack = 1.
The emususp_rt signal is not used in the TCP2. Bit[2](RT_SEL) for the emulation register is not included
and the bit is reserved.

Endianness
The endianness manager is responsible for managing the endianness of data when DSP is configured in
big endian mode. When the DSP is configured in little-endian mode, the endianness manager has no
effect.
This architecture supports both big- and little-endian operation.
The TCP2 always works in little-endian mode, the input/output data to/from the processing unit is always
in little-endian format. Therefore, the role of the endianness manager is to order the data correctly when
the DSP is configured in big-endian mode.
For the data represented on the configuration (CFG) data bus, byte endianness is not an issue. The
endianness manager has no effect on 32-bit data on the CFG bus.
In all cases except for interleaver indexes and extrinsics, the endianness manager swaps the words within
the double-word for all TCP2 incoming 64-bit data (Figure 57 and Figure 58) and all TCP2 outgoing 64-bit

Architecture
The TCP2 processing unit (MAP unit) is shown in Figure 95. The beta kernel performs the MAP algorithm
backward recursion and produces beta probabilities stored in the beta RAM. The alpha kernel performs
the forward recursion producing alpha probabilities, and the extrinsic block computes the extrinsics to be
stored in the extrinsics memory.
The processing unit implements the Max* Log-MAP algorithm using a sliding window technique that allows
parallel processing and reduces dramatic memory requirements.

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.
8.1 Sub-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:

A frame needs to be segmented into subframes when working in shared processing (SP) mode; therefore,
the minimum number of subframes is 2. The subframe length should be chosen so that it has a reliable
Each subframe is then further divided into sub-blocks and sliding windows as described in Section 8.1. All
subframes except the last one must have the same length and be a multiple of 256.

8.3 Reliability and Prolog Length Calculation
F: Frame length (number of bits in a frame prior to turbo-encoding)
R: 1/code rate
P: Prolog length (number of symbols to be used in the prolog not taking into account the rate)
The unit is designed so that reliability size ranges from 40 to 128 bits and prolog size ranges from 4 to 48
bits. The prolog size is chosen based on whether the code is punctured or non-punctured. The prolog size
can be programmed from 4 to 48 in the TCP2. If prolog reduction is enabled, the prolog size should range
between 4 to16.
Note: In shared-processing mode, the prolog size must be a multiple of 8 due to EDMA3 transfers
alignments constraints.
The reliability size is chosen to optimally fill the pipelines; however, there are some limitations. The
maximum size of each sub-block is 256 symbols in which each of the two sliding windows maximum
reliability size is 128. The reliability length is computed from the frame length.
Given N the block size, P the prolog length, Nsb the number of sub-blocks, Nsw the number of sliding
windows per sub-block (Nsw =1 or 2), the reliability length R must fill the following properties:
•
The last sliding window reliability can be smaller than the others (last beta prolog is not processed, tails
are used to initialize beta states).
•
The prolog of the sliding window before the last must point before the end of the frame: for example, N,
P, R are such that N = (Nsb * Nsw - 1) * R + P + r; r > 0. The following formula meets the above
properties:

This computation should be done by the DSP CPU. It should be noted that a 1 must be subtracted from
the calculated R value prior to writing to TCPIC1.
Note: The reliability length must fill the above properties to receive a correct decoding. If these
rules are not followed, the MAP will execute, but the BER might not be optimal.
8.4 Added Features
8.4.1
Code Rates
TCP only supports the code rates used in the 3GPP and cdma2000 standards, namely 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4.
TCP2 introduces a more flexible design which always assumes that the code rate is 1/5. Therefore, all
puncturing schemes derived from the rate 1/5 mother code are automatically supported. The received
systematic and parity data is first de-punctured to rate 1/5, then formatted according to the TCP

Programming
8.4.2
Input Sign
The TCP assumes that the encoded bits are converted into signed binary symbols using the following
mapping: 0 → -1, 1 → +1 and scaled by -2*a/Σ2 where a is the fading factor and Σ is the noise variance.
Many receivers may perform this scaling without applying the -1 factor. With TCP, this requires the DSP to
perform the -1 multiplication as the TCP expects this scaling. In TCP2, the -1 multiplication can be
performed automatically by the TCP2 based on the INPUTSIGN bit field of the TCPIC3 configuration
register. This reduces DSP overhead and does not cost extra TCP2 cycles.
8.4.3
Log Equation
The exact mathematical equation for forward and backward recursion in a MAP decoder is based on a log
of a sum of two exponential terms, In(eA + eB). Due to the complexity of hardware implementation, this
expression is often approximated with the co-called max* term, which is computed as max* (A, B) = max
(A, B) + In(l + e |-A-B|)); i.e., the maximum of the exponents and a correction term which is a function of the
difference of the exponents. The correction term is often implemented as a table look-up. Such decoder is
called Max* Log-MAP. If the correction term is dropped, the implementation becomes max-log-MAP.
While TCP uses a Max*-log-MAP implementation, TCP2 offers both Max* Log-MAP and max-log-MAP
implementations. This can be selected on a frame-by-frame basis. The second implementation does not
require the input LLRs (log-likelihood ratios) to be scaled by a factor inversely proportional to noise
variance, and is therefore more robust in situations where SNR can not be accurately estimated.
8.4.4
Re-Encode
The re-encode block is directly connected to the CRC block. During the sub-block execution, up to 256
sets of data will be stored in a double buffered memory. Two bits each will be stored for x0, p0, and p1.
One bit is the sign bit and the other bit is set if the symbol is equal to a zero. These 6 bits will be used for
re-encoding. The seventh bit will be the hard decision bit. This bit is the sign of the following summation:
(x+a+w).
The decision bits can be re-encoded with a convolutional encoder. The output of the encoder is 3 bit
streams: systematic bit and 2 parity bits. These bits can be compared with the signs of the stored
systematic and parity symbols. If the bits match, then no error has occurred. If the bits do not match, then
an error has occurred. If the stored symbol is a zero, then no information can be determined from this
data. A zero symbol represents either a depunctured symbol or a symbol that is equal distance from the
ideal modulated +1 or -1. As the signs are compared, a running count of the total number of sign
differences is calculated. These counts can be used as an estimate of the channel quality.
The cnt_re_map0 output register is a sum of the number of sign differences for MAP0. The cnt_re_map1
output register is a sum of the number of sign differences for MAP1. Table 41 shows the valid symbols
that can be used during the calculation of errors for each MAP.

TCP2 Dedicated EDMA3 Resources
Within the available 64 EDMA3 channels event sources, two are assigned to the TCP: event 30 and event
31.
•
Event 30 is associated to the TCP2 receive event (TCPREVT) and is used as the synchronization
event for the EDMA3 transfer from the TCP2 to the DSP (receive).
•
Event 31 is associated to the TCP2 transmit event (TCPXEVT) and is used as the synchronization
event for the EDMA3 transfer from the DSP to the TCP2 (transmit).
9.1.2
Special TCP2 EDMA3 Programming Considerations
EDMA3 transfers should follow ACNT * BCNT number of bytes in A_Sync Mode and ACNT *BCNT *
CCNT number of bytes in AB_Sync Mode. The number of bytes should be a multiple of 8. For more
information, see the TMS320C6457 DSP Enhanced Direct Memory Access (EDMA3) Controller Reference

Input Configurations Parameters Programming
The frame length (FL bits in TCPIC0) should be set to the number of information bits (prior to
turbo-encoding and not including the rate or the tail bits).
The number of sub-blocks (NSB bits in TCPIC2), the reliability length (R bits in TCPIC1), and the prolog
size (P bits in TCPIC2) should be set as described in Section 8.3. It should be noted that a 1 must be
subtracted from the calculated R value prior to writing to TCPIC1.
The maximum number of iterations (MAXIT bits in TCPIC2) should be selected as a function of the overall
system performance. A value 0 sets the maximum number of iterations to its maximum (32).
The SNR threshold ratio (SNR bits in TCPIC2) should be selected as a function of the overall system
performance. A value 0 disables the stopping criteria algorithm.
The EMAXSTR bit can be enabled or disabled in TCPIC3 (0 = max star disabled (enable Max Log-MAP) 1
= max star enabled (enable log MAP)).

The minimum number of iterations (MINIT bits in TCPIC3) should be selected as a function of the overall
system performance (minimum iterations 1 to 31) when SNR stopping criteria is used.
The INPUTSIGN bit can be enabled or disabled in TCPIC3 (0 = Use channel input data as is, 1 = multiply
channel input data by -1).
The OUTORDER bit can be enabled or disabled in TCPIC3 (0 = output bit ordering from 0 to 31, 1 =
output bit ordering from 31 to 0).
The EPRORED bit can be enabled or disabled in TCPIC3 (0 = prolog reduction disabled, 1 = prolog
reduction enabled).
The CRC length and CRC iterations (TCPIC4) and CRC Polyn bits (TCPIC5) should be selected as a
function of the overall system performance. A value 0 disables the CRC stopping criteria algorithm.
The TAIL1, TAIL2, TAIL3, TAIL4, TAIL5, and TAIL6 bits should be programmed as described in
The Extrinsic Scaling factors can be selected in registers TCPIC12, TCPIC13, TCPIC14, and TCPIC15.

9.3 Programming Shared-Processing (SP) Mode
In shared mode, the DSP must do more work and work closely with the TCP2. The DSP breaks the large
frame into smaller frames of 20,480 or less. Each one of these frames is called a subframe. The size of all
the subframes (except the last subframe) must be divisible by 256. Note that the frame_length listed in the
shared-processing mode is the length of the subframes and not the length of the frame. The TCP will treat
each subframe as its own frame of data.
To decode the whole frame, follow these steps:
1. DSP sends subframe systematic, parity and extrinsic data to TCP2.
2. TCP2 executes two MAP decoders for each iteration.
3. DSP reads the intermediate results (extrinsics).
4. DSP interleaves or de-interleaves data.
5. Steps 1 to 4 are repeated for all subframes.
The opmod parameter defines which subframe the TCP2 is decoding. Opmode is set to 1 for the first
subframe, opmode is set to 2 for the middle subframe(s), and opmode is set to 3 for the last subframe.
As in standalone (SA) mode decoding, each set of EDMA3 parameters uses the EDMA3 linking
capabilities. In addition, the a priori data transfer is done using the EDMA3 alternate transfer chaining
capabilities. Section 9.3.1 details the EDMA3 transfers programming and Section 9.3.2 details the input
parameters programming. It should be noted that any stopping criteria algorithm has to be implemented by
the CPU.
Any notification mechanism to flag that a user-channel has just been decoded is left to you. Suggested
implementation is to use the EDMA3 interrupt generation capabilities [see TMS320C6457 DSP Enhanced
Direct Memory Access (EDMA3) Controller Reference Guide (SPRUGK6)] and program the EDMA3 to
generate an interrupt after the user-channel's last TCPREVT synchronized EDMA3 transfer has
completed.

Errors and Status
13.1 Errors
The TCP2 error register (TCPERR) flags any errors that occurred in the TCP2. Once the errors are
flagged, the TCP2 stops, and a TCP2_INT interrupt is generated. TCP2_INT has an interrupt selector
value of 31. For details on how to set up interrupts, see the TMS320C64x+ Megamodule Reference Guide
(SPRU871).
Reading TCPERR resets both TCPERR and the TCP2 status register (TCPSTAT) to their default values;
that is, the TCP2 waits for a new START command.
13.1.1 Error Status: ERR
The ERR bit is set to 1 in case of error.

Errors and Status
13.1.2 Unexpected Frame Length: F
The F bit is set to 1 if the programmed frame length is strictly smaller than 40 or is strictly greater than
20730 for standalone mode.
The F bit is set to 1 if the programmed frame length has the following values for shared processing mode:
1. Frame length < 256 or frame length > 20480 or (frame length)%256 != 0 if opmode = 1 or 2.
2. Frame length < 128 or frame length > 20480 if opmode = 3.
13.1.3 Unexpected Prolog Length: P
The P bit is set to 1 if the specified prolog length is strictly greater than 48. Values smaller than 4 are
ignored by the hardware and 24 is used.

The SF bit is set to 1 if the specified subframe length is strictly greater than 20480 in shared processing
mode.
13.1.5 Unexpected Reliability Length: R
The R bit is set to 1 if the specified reliability length minus 1 is strictly smaller than 40 or greater than 128
in SA mode.
The R bit is set to 1 if the specified reliability length is not equal to 128 in SP mode if opmode = 1 or 2.
The R bit is set to 1 if the specified reliability length is less than 65 in SP mode if opmode = 3.
13.1.6 Unexpected Signal to Noise Ratio: SNR
The SNR bit is set to 1 if the signal to noise ratio threshold is greater than 100.
13.1.7 Unexpected Interleaver Table Load: INT
The INT bit is set to 1 if loading an interleaver table has been requested in SP mode.
13.1.8 Unexpected Output Parameters Load: OP
The OP bit is set to 1 if loading the output parameters has been requested in SP mode.
13.1.9 Unexpected Memory Access: ACC
The ACC bit is set to 1 when an unexpected memory access occurs. This can be used to spot any
EDMA3 programming issues. This can occur when:
•
•
•
•
•
•
TCP2 is waiting for input configuration parameters state and memory access to any TCP2 memory but
the interleaver memory is performed
TCP2 is waiting for systematics and parities state and memory access to any TCP2 memory other than
the TCPINTER memory
TCP2 is waiting for a prioris state and memory access to any TCP2 memory other than the TCPAP
memory
TCP2 is waiting for extrinsics state and memory access to any TCP2 memory other than the TCPEXT
memory
TCP2 is waiting for hard decisions state and memory access to any TCP2 memory other than the
TCPHD memory
TCP2 is waiting for output parameters state and memory access to any TCP2 memory

Errors and Status
13.1.10 Unexpected Max and Min Iterations: MAXMINITER
The MAXMINITER bit is set to 1 if the minimum iterations are greater than the maximum iterations.
13.2 Status
The TCP2 status register (TCPSTAT) reflects the state of the TCP2.
13.2.1 TCP2 Decoder Status: dec_busy
The dec_busy is set to 0 if the MAP decoder is in state 0. The dec_busy is set to 1 if the MAP decoder is
in states 1 to 8.
13.2.2 TCP2 Stopped Due to Error: ERR
The ERR bit is set to 1 if the TCP2 has encountered an error. The ERR bit is reset by writing a new
START command in the TCP2 execution register (TCPEXE).
13.2.3 TCP2 Waiting for Input Control Parameters Write: WIC
The WIC bit is set to 1 when the TCP2 is waiting for the input configurations parameters to be written.
After the very first decoding is finished, an XEVT is generated to allow any ready user-channel to be
decoded and the WIC bit is set to 1.
13.2.4 TCP2 Waiting for Interleaver Table Write: WINT
The WINT bit is set to 1 when the TCP2 is waiting for the interleaver table to be written.
13.2.5 TCP2 Waiting for Systematics and Parities Write: WSP
The WSP bit is set to 1 when the TCP2 is waiting for the systematics and parities to be written.
