  • Rate matching device
    Patent number: 8537755
    Abstract: In rate matching and interleaving in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, use of a circular buffer following interleaving may be avoided by reading out interleaved data directly from the interleaver in a manner which matches an expected output from a circular buffer. The read out data may be rate matched according to instructions from upper layers. The order in which the data is read out is configured to match the expected rate matched output from a circular buffer. In this manner use of a circular buffer may be avoided, resulting in saved memory costs.
    Type: Grant
