I'm wondering if the zero responses to my original question "What does the Rate field in TCPIC0 do?" is in part due to it looking like a bit of a stupid question! I might have expected at least one "The Rate field controls the rate of the decoder", or even "RTM".
From SPRU973:
8.4.1 Code Rates
TCP only supports the code rates used in the 3GPP and cdma2000 standards,
namely 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4. TCP2 introduces a more flexible design which always
assumes that the code rate is 1/5. Therefore, all puncturing schemes derived
from the rate 1/5 mother code are automatically supported. The received
systematic and parity data is first de-punctured to rate 1/5, then formatted
according
So, if "all puncturing schemes ...are automatically supported" what does the Rate field ACTUALLY do?
Or, what do I set the Rate field to when running 2/3 rate (puncture pattern of X Y0 X X Y0' X) ?
