5G LDPC Intel® FPGA IP

Low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes are linear error correcting codes that help you to transmit and receive messages over noisy channels. The 5G LDPC and LDPC-V Intel® FPGA IP implement LDPC codes compliant with the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) 5G specification for integration in your wireless design. LDPC codes offer better spectral efficiency than Turbo codes and support the high throughput for 5G new radio (NR).

The 5G LDPC-V IP is a complete channel coding IP, optimized for virtual radio access networks (vRAN) and includes the 5G LDCP IP core.
