4G LTE/LTE-A Turbo Decoder

LTE and LTE Advanced (LTE-A) are the mobile broadband standard of the 4th generation. Current LTE installtion provides data rates of up to 300 Mbit/s. LTE-A increases the throughput to up to 1 Gbit/s.

Creonic’s LTE/LTE-A IPCore is an advanced, customer proven implementation of the standardized 3GPP turbo code. The turbo decoder was designed forbase station and user equipment applications. However, the high flexibility in block lengths and code rates makes it the ideal fir for further applications.
