3.2. Generating a 5G LPDC-V IP

To include the IP in a design, generate the IP in the Intel® Quartus® Prime software. Or optionally, you can generate a design example that includes the generated 5G LDPC-V IP, a C model, a MATLAB model, simulation scripts, and test data. The software generates no hardware example in Generate Example Design.
  1. Create a New Intel® Quartus® Prime project
  2. Open IP Catalog.
  3. Select DSP > Error Detection and Correction > 5G LDPC-V and click Add
  4. Enter a name for your IP variant and click Create.
    Figure 4. IP Variant File Name
    The name is for both the top-level RTL module and the corresponding .ip file.
    The parameter editor for this IP appears.
  5. Choose your parameters.

    Parameter Name Values Description
    Mode

    Rx chain

    Tx chain

    Select between receiver or transmitter.
    LLR_W (receiver only)

    5

    6

    Input LLR bitwidth.

    LLR_W=5, gives 3 integral bits and 2 fractional bits, i.e. a range of [-4.0, 3.75]

    LLR_W=6, gives 4 integral bits and 2 fractional bits, i.e. a range of [-8.0, 7.75]

    NUM_DECODERS

    (receiver only)

    1

    2

    The number of decoders that the IP builds.
    MAX_LF_DECODER1

    (receiver only)

    96

    128

    192

    The maximum lifting factor for the packet that the second decoder can process. Only valid when NUM_DECODERS is to 2

  6. For an optional design example, click Generate Example Design
    The software creates a design example of the transmitter or receiver.

  7. Click Generate HDL.
Intel® Quartus® Prime generates the RTL and the files necessary to instantiate the IP in your design and synthesize it.
