AccelerComm, the Layer 1 5G IP specialist, has released a 5G PUSCH Channel Equalizer module, that doubles network spectral efficiency, enabling significant improvements in O-RAN network performance, and as a result, reducing network power and cost per bit.
The 5G PUSCH Channel Equaliser module is the latest in a series of hardware channel-based acceleration engines which leverage AccelerComm’s broad portfolio of optimized 5G Layer 1 IP modules for ASIC and FPGA, to deliver an integrated solution. The Equaliser uses innovative equalization algorithms to cancel interference from neighboring sources to double the throughput per Hertz (spectral efficiency) of an operator’s network.
The integration of the PUSCH channel components up to and including the Equaliser module realizes further efficiencies in network performance, which translate into power savings through the reduction of the number of sites required to provide high-quality network coverage. The complete 5G PUSCH Channel Equaliser, and its component IP modules, including the Equaliser itself, and the LDPC and Polar encoder/decoder are available as configurable low gate-count IP cores optimized for ASIC or FPGA.
The LDPC module improves network performance through lower error rates, at the same time delivering power savings and over 30% processor resource saving in the 5G physical layer by offloading the LDPC algorithm into hardware.
AccelerComm has also released a 5G PUSCH Channel Equalizer evaluation tool, which customers can download and use to assess the benefits in their own network, by setting up specific deployment use case parameters and comparing performance with the standard Matlab 5G model.
“Network efficiency lies at the center of the success of 5G, both in terms of power consumption and the use of valuable spectrum assets,” said Eric Dowek, Segment Marketing Director. “Our innovations in modular 5G Layer 1 IP solutions, implemented efficiently on ASIC and FPGA, help deliver 5G network performance at a price point that makes good business sense.” Data for all AccelerComm IP modules can be found here under Discover Channel Coding.
