| 5 | == 1) Functional Description == |
| 6 | |
| 7 | This VCI target corresponds to a IEEE802.16e LDPC decoder. It embeds an internal hardware Cycle Accurate Bit Accurate model of the [http://www.turboconcept.com TurboConcept]'s IEEE802.16e WiMAX LDPC decoder [http://www.turboconcept.com/prod_tc4200wimax.php tc4200]. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | !TurboConcept's TC4200-WiMAX Core is a high speed Low Density Parity Check code (LDPC) decoder optimized for WiMAX (IEEE 802.16e) specifications. A patented decoding architecture allows meeting high throughputs within small devices, and still offering close-to-ideal Bit Error Rate (BER) performances. |

| 13 | |
| 14 | Figure 1 presents the general core structure. The Tc4200 is made of a VCI wrapper and an internal hardware decoder model which communicates using proprietary FIFO-like protocols. |

| 78 | == 5) Limitation == |
| 79 | |
| 80 | This model has the following two limitations: |
| 81 | * stopping criterion is disable; |
| 82 | * fixed number of performed iterations. |
| 83 | |
| 84 | The number of performed iterations is fixed to a reasonable value still offering close-to-ideal Bit Error Rate (BER) performances. Please contact [http://www.turboconcept.com TurboConcept] for information about these limitations. |
