Abstract
A cellular modem processor can include dedicated processing engines that implement specific, complex data processing operations. To implement physical downlink shared channel (PDSCH) decoding, a cellular modem can include a pipeline having multiple processing engines, with the processing engine including functional units that execute instructions corresponding to different stages in the PDSCH decoding process. Flow control and data synchronization between instructions can be provided using a hybrid of firmware-based flow control and hardware-based data dependency management.
