The terminology used in the description of the invention herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. As used herein, the term "and/or" includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

As described in the background art, both the encoding and decoding processes of the LDPC code are based on the check matrix, for example, in the encoding process, an operation of taking a remainder of a lifting factor needs to be performed on each matrix element in the check matrix, and then a cyclic shift operation is performed on the input byte data by using the remainder, and then since the memory resources in the chip are limited and precious, the operation of taking the remainder consumes a large amount of on-chip resources and a large amount of additional logic, which causes congestion of the overall layout and wiring, and reduces the operation rate.

To solve the above problems, the present application provides a low density parity check encoding apparatus, a method, an electronic device, and a computer-readable storage medium.

Example one

The embodiment of the application provides a low-density parity check coding device which is used for carrying out low-density parity check coding.

Referring to fig. 1, the low density parity check coding apparatus of the present embodiment includes a remainder generation module 100, an external storage module 200, an on-chip access control module 300, and a cyclic accumulation module 400.

The remainder generation module 100 is configured to generate a remainder result of each matrix element in the check matrix for the lifting factor; the external storage module 200 is connected to the remainder generation module 100, and is configured to store a remainder obtaining result generated by the remainder generation module 100; the on-chip access control module 300 is connected to the external storage module 200, and is configured to obtain the remainder result at a preset time; the cyclic accumulation module 400 is connected to the on-chip access control module 300, and configured to perform a cyclic shift operation on input data according to the remainder result.

The low-density parity check coding device provided by the embodiment, because the operation of taking the remainder of each matrix element to the lifting factor in the check matrix is performed by the remainder generation module 100 outside the chip in advance, when the cyclic accumulation module 400 needs to perform cyclic shift operation on input data, the remainder taking result can be obtained only by two-stage access through the external storage module 200 and the in-chip access control module 300, a large amount of resources and logics in the chip do not need to be consumed in the whole process, thereby avoiding the situation of overall layout wiring congestion, simultaneously considering the requirement of high processing speed, and improving the operation rate.

The remainder generation module 100 is disposed outside the chip, which is outside the integrated circuit of the chip, that is, the remainder generation module 100 is an external device independent of the chip, and does not occupy the internal resources of the chip. The external memory module 200 may also be disposed off-chip to save resources inside the chip. The chip adopted in the low density parity check coding device in the embodiment can select the FPGA, that is, the remainder generation module 100 and the external storage module 200 are arranged outside the FPGA, the on-chip access control module 300 is arranged inside the FPGA, and in the coding process, the remainder is acquired into the cyclic accumulation module through the two-stage access process of the external storage module 200 and the on-chip access control module 300, so that the cyclic accumulation module 400 performs cyclic shift operation according to the remainder, in the process, the remainder extraction operation is not required inside the FPGA, a large amount of resources are saved, and when cyclic shift is not required, the remainder generated in advance by the remainder generation module 100 does not occupy the on-chip resources of the FPGA.

In one embodiment, the lifting factors include a plurality of lifting factors, and the remainder generation module 100 is configured to generate a plurality of sets of remainder results of different lifting factors for each matrix element in the check matrix, where the remainder results of the same lifting factor for each matrix element in the check matrix are a set of remainder results.

Specifically, there may be several lifting factors, and in practical applications, there may be 51 lifting factors, which are assumed to include 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, etc., and are not listed here. For the lifting factor 2, the remainder generation module 100 generates a remainder result of each matrix element in the check matrix for the lifting factor 2, and forms a group of remainder results; for the lifting factor 3, the remainder generation module 100 generates a remainder result of each matrix element in the check matrix for the lifting factor 3, and forms a set of remainder results; for the lifting factor 5, the remainder generation module 100 generates a remainder result of each matrix element in the check matrix for the lifting factor 5, and forms a group of remainder results; by analogy, for different lifting factors, the remainder generation module 100 generates the remainder results of the matrix elements in the check matrix for the different lifting factors in advance, and forms different sets of the remainder results corresponding to the different lifting factors.

The method and the device have the advantages that a plurality of groups of residue taking results are obtained in advance according to a plurality of different lifting factors, so that the subsequent process of quickly calling the residue taking results corresponding to the currently used lifting factors from the plurality of groups of residue taking results when the currently used lifting factors are determined is facilitated, and the coding efficiency is improved.

The elements in the check matrix are arranged in a matrix form, each matrix element performs a remainder operation on the lifting factors to obtain remainders, and finally the remainders with the same number as the matrix elements are obtained, one remainder corresponds to one matrix element, and the remainders form a remainder table according to the row-column arrangement sequence of the matrix elements, for example, the matrix elements in the 1 st row and the 1 st column in the check matrix, the remainders obtained by the remainder operation on the lifting factors are also located in the 1 st row and the 1 st column in the remainder table, the matrix elements in the 2 nd row and the 3 rd column in the check matrix, and the remainders obtained by the remainder operation on the lifting factors are also located in the 2 nd row and the 3 rd column in the remainder table.

In addition, the number of the check matrixes may be one or two or more. When a plurality of check matrixes are provided, the above-mentioned residue taking operation is carried out on each check matrix, so that the current check matrix and the lifting factor are determined during encoding, and the residue taking result corresponding to the current check matrix and the lifting factor can be quickly obtained.

The remainder generation module 100 is illustrated with one specific example:

the check matrix has two, respectively HBG1 and HBG2, HBG1 being a matrix of 46 rows and 26 columns with 46 x 26 matrix elements, and HBG2 being a matrix of 42 rows and 14 columns with 42 x 14 matrix elements. The lifting factor is 51.

46 × 26 matrix elements in the HBG1 are respectively subjected to remainder taking on 51 lifting factors to obtain 51 remainder tables, the remainder taking result of 46 × 26 matrix elements on the same lifting factor is a remainder table with 46 rows and 26 columns, and the arrangement sequence of the remainders in the remainder table corresponds to the arrangement sequence of the matrixes corresponding to the remainder tables.

42 × 14 matrix elements in the HBG2 are respectively subjected to remainder taking on 51 lifting factors to obtain 51 remainder tables, the remainder taking result of the 42 × 14 matrix elements on the same lifting factor is a remainder table with 42 rows and 14 columns, and the arrangement sequence of the remainders in the remainder table corresponds to the arrangement sequence of the matrixes corresponding to the remainder tables.

That is, a total of 102 remainder tables are generated by the remainder generation module 100 for being called by the following module.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 2, the external storage module 200 includes an external storage unit 210 and a storage controller 220;

the external storage unit 210 includes a DDR for storing the remainder generation result generated by the remainder generation module 100;

the storage controller 220 is used for controlling the access of the external storage unit 210 to the remainder result.

The DDR is a storage unit externally hung on the FPGA chip, the storage space is large, and the remainder result generated by the remainder generation module 100 is stored by utilizing the advantage of the large DDR storage space. The memory controller 220 is used to control the access of the external memory unit 210 to the remainder result, that is, the memory controller 220 may be controlled by the FPGA chip to obtain the generated remainder result from the remainder generation module 100 at an appropriate time, and may also send the stored remainder result to the next-level access module, that is, the on-chip access control module 300, at an appropriate time. The memory controller 220 may be located inside the FPGA chip.

The data storage structure of the remainder result inside the DDR is explained by a specific example:

the check matrices are two, i.e., HBG1 and HBG2, fig. 3 is a storage manner of a remainder table corresponding to the check matrix HBG1, and fig. 4 is a storage manner of a remainder table corresponding to the check matrix HBG 2. In fig. 3 and 4, j denotes the column index of the check matrix, which has 26 columns for the check matrix HBG1, the column index being from 0 to 25; for the check matrix HBG2, which has 14 columns, the column numbers are from 0 to 13. In FIGS. 3 and 4, P denotes the remainder, the subscript consisting of 2 digits, the first digit representing the row number and the second digit representing the column number, e.g., P₀₀Denotes the remainder, P, corresponding to the elements of row 0 and column 0₄₅₀Indicating the remainder for the 45 row 0 column element correspondence.

In addition, since each remainder is 9 bits wide, in DDR access for compatibility with 32-bit AXI bus, each 32-bit data is divided into 2 16 bits, 2 remainders are stored, and zero padding is performed on the upper 7 bits of each 16 bits. For the check matrix HBG1, which corresponds to a lifting factor, there is a remainder table with 46 rows and 26 rows, each remainder table is 46 × 26/2 × 32/8 ═ 2392Byte, and 51 such remainder tables are stored corresponding to 51 lifting factors. For the check matrix HBG2, which corresponds to a lifting factor, there is a remainder table with 42 rows and 14 columns, but 4 rows 0 are added later for compatibility with the remainder table of HBG1, each remainder table is 46 × 14/2 × 32/8 ═ 1288Byte, and 51 such remainder tables are stored corresponding to 51 lifting factors.

In one embodiment, the memory controller 220 is configured to store the remainder result generated by the remainder generation module 100 into the external storage unit 210 at a power-on time, and further configured to fetch the remainder result corresponding to the updated lifting factor stored in the external storage unit 210 at a time of updating the lifting factor, and store the remainder result into the on-chip access control module 300.

That is, the memory controller 220 stores the remainder result generated by the remainder generation module 100 into the external memory unit 210 (i.e., the first-level memory space) at the time of booting for subsequent quick call. When the lifting factor is updated at each time slot, the remainder result corresponding to the updated lifting factor is retrieved from the remainder results in the external storage unit 210 and stored in the on-chip access control module 300 (i.e., the second-level storage space). The timeslot is a term of a 5G physical layer, and refers to a set of configured minimum time intervals, and data of each timeslot corresponds to a set of parameters, that is, each timeslot needs to update the lifting factor once. Assuming that the lifting factor of the current timeslot update is 2, the remainder table obtained by performing a remainder operation on the lifting factor 2by the current check matrix is fetched from the external storage unit 210.

Referring to fig. 2, the on-chip access control module 300 may include a BRAM, and the remainder result corresponding to the updated boost factor may be retrieved and stored in the BRAM.

Specifically, the manner of retrieving the remainder result corresponding to the updated lifting factor from the external storage unit 210 to the on-chip access control module 300 may be: the on-chip access control module 300 is provided with 26 × 46 registers of 9 bits, each clock takes out2 remainders from the DDR (since the data taken from the DDR by the FPGA goes through the AXI bus, the data bit width adopted by the AXI bus of the DDR interface is 32 bits, and as can be seen from the foregoing, the data of the 32 bits includes 2 remainders) and writes into the registers, and only effective remaining bits (i.e., data of 0 part of padding is removed) in the DDR are taken out. For the check matrix HBG1, 26 × 46/2 is 598 valid clocks, and for the check matrix HBG2, 14 × 46/2 is 322 valid clocks.

In one embodiment, the on-chip access control module 300 is configured to obtain a remainder result corresponding to an updated lifting factor from the external storage module 200 at a time of updating the lifting factor, and store the remainder result into the cyclic accumulation module 400 in a predetermined manner, where the predetermined manner includes a row-by-row storage manner.

For the description of the on-chip access control module 300 obtaining the remainder result corresponding to the updated lifting factor from the external storage module 200 at the time of updating the lifting factor, reference is made to the foregoing.

The on-chip access control module 300 may also take out the remainder result in a predetermined manner and send the remainder result to the cyclic accumulation module 400, in this embodiment, a row-by-row storage manner is selected. The method specifically comprises the following steps: taking the remainder table with the remainder result of 46 rows and 26 columns as an example, 46 remainder values can be taken out per clock, that is, a column of remainder values can be taken out simultaneously, so that parallel operation can be realized, and thus, 46 data can be simultaneously circularly shifted by the circular accumulation module 400 at the same time by using relatively cheap LUT resources to exchange a rate of 46 times. A total of 26 clocks are required to transmit 46 rows and 26 columns of the remainder table.

In one embodiment, the loop accumulation module 400 is configured to loop left shift the input data n times, where n is the remainder value in the remainder table.

In practical application, Zc (i.e. lifting factor) input bits need to be combined to be used as subsequent input data to be processed. From Zc, 46 Zc _ out may be converted, e.g. Zc _ out0, Zc _ out1, Zc _ out2 … Zc _ out 45. When the on-chip access control module 300 fetches the 46 remainder values in the first row in the first effective clock, the first cycle left shift operation may be performed on the 46 input data Zc _ out according to the 46 remainder values, and the number of cycle left shifts is the corresponding remainder value; and when the clock is valid for the second time, taking out 46 remainder values of the second column, continuously circularly and leftwards shifting 46 data obtained after the last circularly and leftwards shifting according to the 46 remainder values of the second column, and the like to realize the circularly shifting and accumulating operation of the input data. The number of the cyclic accumulation modules 400 can be 46, and one cyclic accumulation module 400 is responsible for a cyclic shift operation of input data.

The principle of the low density parity check coding apparatus is described below with reference to a specific example:

the lifting factor Zc configured in the upper layer is 4, and the verification matrix is HBG1, which is specifically implemented as follows:

at the time of starting up, 102 remainder tables generated by the remainder generation module 100 are stored in the DDR, and each remainder table corresponds to a base address and a storage length.

For example, at the start of the current time slot, the Zc of the upper layer software configuration is 4, and the check matrix selects HBG 1. The base address corresponding to the remainder table corresponding to the check matrix HBG1 with the lifting factor Zc of 4 is found first, and data with the length of 2392Byte is fetched from the base address by the memory controller 220.

26 × 46 registers of 9 bits are defined in advance in FPGA, and P is respectively₀₀,P₁₀,…,P₄₄₀,P₄₅₀,P₀₁,P₁₁,…,P₄₄₂₅,P₄₅₂₅. Writing 2 remainders into each clock, only taking effective bit in DDR, wherein the 1 st clock obtains P by adopting a mode of intercepting the effective bit₀₀,P₁₀Value of (A), P₀₀For the lower 9 bits (P) of the input data₀₀<＝tdata[8:0])，P₁₀Is the lower 9 (P) of the upper 16 bits of the input data₀₀<＝tdata[24:16]) (ii) a 2 nd clock gets P₂₀,P₃₀Value of (A), P₂₀For the lower 9 bits (P) of the input data₂₀<＝tdata[8:0])，P₃₀Is the lower 9 (P) of the upper 16 bits of the input data₃₀<＝tdata[24:16]) (ii) a And so on as shown in fig. 5. HBG1 requires 26 x 46/2 ═ 598 valid clocks.

Reading: the read clock rd _ clk is transmitted in 26 cycles, with 46 remainder elements transmitted per clock. Reading P at 1 st clock₀₀,P₁₀,…,P ₄₅₀2 nd clock reading P₀₁,P₁₁,…,P₄₅₁And so on, the last clock (26 th clock) reads the last 46 remainders P₀₂₅,P₁₂₅,…,P₄₅₂₅。

Example two

An embodiment of the present application provides a low density parity check coding method, and referring to fig. 6, the method includes the following steps:

s100, pre-generating a remainder result of each matrix element in the check matrix on the lifting factor;

step S300, storing the remainder result of each matrix element in the check matrix to the lifting factor into the external storage module 200 at the starting time;

step S500, at the moment of updating the lifting factor configuration, acquiring a remainder result corresponding to the updated lifting factor from the external storage module 200;

and S700, performing cyclic shift operation on the input data according to the remainder result.

Because the operation of taking the balance of the lifting factors by each matrix element in the check matrix is carried out outside the chip in advance, when the cyclic shift operation of input data is required, the balance taking result can be obtained only by two-stage access through the external storage module 200 and the on-chip access control module 300, a large amount of resources and logics in the chip are not required to be consumed in the whole process, the condition of overall layout and wiring congestion is avoided, the requirement of high processing speed is also considered, and the operation rate is improved.
