Nvidia patents parallel processing for 5G signal decoding

Nvidia describes a method for speeding up how 5G signals are decoded by using multiple processor threads to handle different parts of the data simultaneously. The system performs steps like layer demapping and de-rate-matching in parallel before combining the results into readable information.

Why it mattersThis could make 5G base stations or chips process data faster and more efficiently, though it is a technical improvement rather than a new consumer feature.

In the filing’s own words

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to cause information received from a plurality of fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR) antennas to be decoded in parallel. In at least one embodiment, the information includes data that has been processed by soft demapping, and decoding the information includes layer demapping, descrambling, and de-rate-matching the data in parallel.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. One or more processors, comprising: circuitry to cause one or more groups of threads of an accelerator to transform information from a wireless communications signal at least by: transforming portions of the information in parallel using threads of the one or more groups of threads; and combining the transformed portions of information.
