GEO-Mobile Radio (GMR) LDPC Decoder 

 
GEO-Mobile Radio (GMR) is an ETSI standard for satellite phones. The Creonic GMR Decoder IP core supports the PNB2 burst packets that were added in GMR Release 2 (GMPRS-1) and use LDPC codes for the first time. The same burst modes and LDPC codes are also in GMR Release 3 (GMR-3G). The Creonic GMR LDPC decoder IP core is a field-proven solution.
