Abstract
A cellular modem processor can include dedicated processing engines that implement specific, complex data processing operations. To implement PDCCH decoding, a cellular modem can include a pipeline having multiple processing engines, with the processing engines including functional units that execute instructions corresponding to different stages in the PDCCH 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.
