4Wireless Baseband Device Library
5================================
6
7The Wireless Baseband library provides a common programming framework that
8abstracts HW accelerators based on FPGA and/or Fixed Function Accelerators that
9assist with 3GPP Physical Layer processing. Furthermore, it decouples the
10application from the compute-intensive wireless functions by abstracting their
11optimized libraries to appear as virtual bbdev devices.
12
13The functional scope of the BBDEV library are those functions in relation to
14the 3GPP Layer 1 signal processing (channel coding, modulation, ...).
15
16The framework currently only supports Turbo Code FEC function.
17
18
19Design Principles
20-----------------
21
22The Wireless Baseband library follows the same ideology of DPDK's Ethernet
23Device and Crypto Device frameworks. Wireless Baseband provides a generic
24acceleration abstraction framework which supports both physical (hardware) and
25virtual (software) wireless acceleration functions.
26
27Device Management
28-----------------
29
30Device Creation
31~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
32
33Physical bbdev devices are discovered during the PCI probe/enumeration of the
34EAL function which is executed at DPDK initialization, based on
35their PCI device identifier, each unique PCI BDF (bus/bridge, device,
36function).
37
38Virtual devices can be created by two mechanisms, either using the EAL command
39line options or from within the application using an EAL API directly.
40
41From the command line using the --vdev EAL option
42
43.. code-block:: console
44
45   --vdev 'baseband_turbo_sw,max_nb_queues=8,socket_id=0'
46
47Or using the rte_vdev_init API within the application code.
48
49.. code-block:: c
50
51    rte_vdev_init("baseband_turbo_sw", "max_nb_queues=2,socket_id=0")
52
53All virtual bbdev devices support the following initialization parameters:
54
55- ``max_nb_queues`` - maximum number of queues supported by the device.
56
57- ``socket_id`` - socket on which to allocate the device resources on.
58
59
60Device Identification
61~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
62
63Each device, whether virtual or physical is uniquely designated by two
64identifiers:
65
66- A unique device index used to designate the bbdev device in all functions
67  exported by the bbdev API.
68
69- A device name used to designate the bbdev device in console messages, for
70  administration or debugging purposes. For ease of use, the port name includes
71  the port index.
72
73
74Device Configuration
75~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
76
77From the application point of view, each instance of a bbdev device consists of
78one or more queues identified by queue IDs. While different devices may have
79different capabilities (e.g. support different operation types), all queues on
80a device support identical configuration possibilities. A queue is configured
81for only one type of operation and is configured at initialization time.
82When an operation is enqueued to a specific queue ID, the result is dequeued
83from the same queue ID.
84
85Configuration of a device has two different levels: configuration that applies
86to the whole device, and configuration that applies to a single queue.
87
88Device configuration is applied with
89``rte_bbdev_setup_queues(dev_id,num_queues,socket_id)``
90and queue configuration is applied with
91``rte_bbdev_queue_configure(dev_id,queue_id,conf)``. Note that, although all
92queues on a device support same capabilities, they can be configured differently
93and will then behave differently.
94Devices supporting interrupts can enable them by using
95``rte_bbdev_intr_enable(dev_id)``.
96
97The configuration of each bbdev device includes the following operations:
98
99- Allocation of resources, including hardware resources if a physical device.
100- Resetting the device into a well-known default state.
101- Initialization of statistics counters.
102
103The ``rte_bbdev_setup_queues`` API is used to setup queues for a bbdev device.
104
105.. code-block:: c
106
107   int rte_bbdev_setup_queues(uint16_t dev_id, uint16_t num_queues,
108            int socket_id);
109
110- ``num_queues`` argument identifies the total number of queues to setup for
111  this device.
112
113- ``socket_id`` specifies which socket will be used to allocate the memory.
114
115
116The ``rte_bbdev_intr_enable`` API is used to enable interrupts for a bbdev
117device, if supported by the driver. Should be called before starting the device.
118
119.. code-block:: c
120
121   int rte_bbdev_intr_enable(uint16_t dev_id);
122
123
124Queues Configuration
125~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
126
127Each bbdev devices queue is individually configured through the
128``rte_bbdev_queue_configure()`` API.
129Each queue resources may be allocated on a specified socket.
130
131.. code-block:: c
132
133    struct rte_bbdev_queue_conf {
134        int socket;
135        uint32_t queue_size;
136        uint8_t priority;
137        bool deferred_start;
138        enum rte_bbdev_op_type op_type;
139    };
140
141Device & Queues Management
142~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
143
144After initialization, devices are in a stopped state, so must be started by the
145application. If an application is finished using a device it can close the
146device. Once closed, it cannot be restarted.
147
148.. code-block:: c
149
150    int rte_bbdev_start(uint16_t dev_id)
151    int rte_bbdev_stop(uint16_t dev_id)
152    int rte_bbdev_close(uint16_t dev_id)
153    int rte_bbdev_queue_start(uint16_t dev_id, uint16_t queue_id)
154    int rte_bbdev_queue_stop(uint16_t dev_id, uint16_t queue_id)
155
156
157By default, all queues are started when the device is started, but they can be
158stopped individually.
159
160.. code-block:: c
161
162    int rte_bbdev_queue_start(uint16_t dev_id, uint16_t queue_id)
163    int rte_bbdev_queue_stop(uint16_t dev_id, uint16_t queue_id)
164
165
166Logical Cores, Memory and Queues Relationships
167~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
168
169The bbdev poll mode device driver library supports NUMA architecture, in which
170a processor's logical cores and interfaces utilize it's local memory. Therefore
171with baseband operations, the mbuf being operated on should be allocated from memory
172pools created in the local memory. The buffers should, if possible, remain on
173the local processor to obtain the best performance results and buffer
174descriptors should be populated with mbufs allocated from a mempool allocated
175from local memory.
176
177The run-to-completion model also performs better, especially in the case of
178virtual bbdev devices, if the baseband operation and data buffers are in local
179memory instead of a remote processor's memory. This is also true for the
180pipe-line model provided all logical cores used are located on the same processor.
181
182Multiple logical cores should never share the same queue for enqueuing
183operations or dequeuing operations on the same bbdev device since this would
184require global locks and hinder performance. It is however possible to use a
185different logical core to dequeue an operation on a queue pair from the logical
186core which it was enqueued on. This means that a baseband burst enqueue/dequeue
187APIs are a logical place to transition from one logical core to another in a
188packet processing pipeline.
189
190
191Device Operation Capabilities
192-----------------------------
193
194Capabilities (in terms of operations supported, max number of queues, etc.)
195identify what a bbdev is capable of performing that differs from one device to
196another. For the full scope of the bbdev capability see the definition of the
197structure in the *DPDK API Reference*.
198
199.. code-block:: c
200
201   struct rte_bbdev_op_cap;
202
203A device reports its capabilities when registering itself in the bbdev framework.
204With the aid of this capabilities mechanism, an application can query devices to
205discover which operations within the 3GPP physical layer they are capable of
206performing. Below is an example of the capabilities for a PMD it supports in
207relation to Turbo Encoding and Decoding operations.
208
209.. code-block:: c
210
211    static const struct rte_bbdev_op_cap bbdev_capabilities[] = {
212        {
213            .type = RTE_BBDEV_OP_TURBO_DEC,
214            .cap.turbo_dec = {
215                .capability_flags =
216                    RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_SUBBLOCK_DEINTERLEAVE |
217                    RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_POS_LLR_1_BIT_IN |
218                    RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_NEG_LLR_1_BIT_IN |
219                    RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_CRC_TYPE_24B |

221                    RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_EARLY_TERMINATION,
222                .max_llr_modulus = 16,
223                .num_buffers_src = RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_MAX_CODE_BLOCKS,
224                .num_buffers_hard_out =
225                        RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_MAX_CODE_BLOCKS,
226                .num_buffers_soft_out = 0,
227            }
228        },
229        {
230            .type   = RTE_BBDEV_OP_TURBO_ENC,
231            .cap.turbo_enc = {
232                .capability_flags =
233                        RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_CRC_24B_ATTACH |
234                        RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_CRC_24A_ATTACH |
235                        RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_RATE_MATCH |
236                        RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_RV_INDEX_BYPASS,
237                .num_buffers_src = RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_MAX_CODE_BLOCKS,
238                .num_buffers_dst = RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_MAX_CODE_BLOCKS,
239            }
240        },
241        RTE_BBDEV_END_OF_CAPABILITIES_LIST()
242    };
243
244Capabilities Discovery
245~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
246
247Discovering the features and capabilities of a bbdev device poll mode driver
248is achieved through the ``rte_bbdev_info_get()`` function.
249
250.. code-block:: c
251
252   int rte_bbdev_info_get(uint16_t dev_id, struct rte_bbdev_info *dev_info)
253
254This allows the user to query a specific bbdev PMD and get all the device
255capabilities. The ``rte_bbdev_info`` structure provides two levels of
256information:
257
258- Device relevant information, like: name and related rte_bus.
259
260- Driver specific information, as defined by the ``struct rte_bbdev_driver_info``
261  structure, this is where capabilities reside along with other specifics like:
262  maximum queue sizes and priority level.
263
264.. code-block:: c
265
266    struct rte_bbdev_info {
267        int socket_id;
268        const char *dev_name;
269        const struct rte_device *device;
270        uint16_t num_queues;
271        bool started;
272        struct rte_bbdev_driver_info drv;
273    };
274
275
276Operation Processing
277--------------------
278
279Scheduling of baseband operations on DPDK's application data path is
280performed using a burst oriented asynchronous API set. A queue on a bbdev
281device accepts a burst of baseband operations using enqueue burst API. On physical
282bbdev devices the enqueue burst API will place the operations to be processed
283on the device's hardware input queue, for virtual devices the processing of the
284baseband operations is usually completed during the enqueue call to the bbdev
285device. The dequeue burst API will retrieve any processed operations available
286from the queue on the bbdev device, from physical devices this is usually
287directly from the device's processed queue, and for virtual device's from a
288``rte_ring`` where processed operations are placed after being processed on the
289enqueue call.
290
291
292Enqueue / Dequeue Burst APIs
293~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
294
295The burst enqueue API uses a bbdev device identifier and a queue
296identifier to specify the bbdev device queue to schedule the processing on.
297The ``num_ops`` parameter is the number of operations to process which are
298supplied in the ``ops`` array of ``rte_bbdev_*_op`` structures.
299The enqueue function returns the number of operations it actually enqueued for
300processing, a return value equal to ``num_ops`` means that all packets have been
301enqueued.
302
303.. code-block:: c
304
305    uint16_t rte_bbdev_enqueue_enc_ops(uint16_t dev_id, uint16_t queue_id,
306            struct rte_bbdev_enc_op **ops, uint16_t num_ops)
307
308    uint16_t rte_bbdev_enqueue_dec_ops(uint16_t dev_id, uint16_t queue_id,
309            struct rte_bbdev_dec_op **ops, uint16_t num_ops)
310
311The dequeue API uses the same format as the enqueue API of processed but
312the ``num_ops`` and ``ops`` parameters are now used to specify the max processed
313operations the user wishes to retrieve and the location in which to store them.
314The API call returns the actual number of processed operations returned, this
315can never be larger than ``num_ops``.
316
317.. code-block:: c
318
319    uint16_t rte_bbdev_dequeue_enc_ops(uint16_t dev_id, uint16_t queue_id,
320            struct rte_bbdev_enc_op **ops, uint16_t num_ops)
321
322    uint16_t rte_bbdev_dequeue_dec_ops(uint16_t dev_id, uint16_t queue_id,
323            struct rte_bbdev_dec_op **ops, uint16_t num_ops)
324
325Operation Representation
326~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
327
328An encode bbdev operation is represented by ``rte_bbdev_enc_op`` structure,
329and by ``rte_bbdev_dec_op`` for decode. These structures act as metadata
330containers for all necessary information required for the bbdev operation to be
331processed on a particular bbdev device poll mode driver.
332
333.. code-block:: c
334
335    struct rte_bbdev_enc_op {
336        int status;
337        struct rte_mempool *mempool;
338        void *opaque_data;
339        union {
340            struct rte_bbdev_op_turbo_enc turbo_enc;
341            struct rte_bbdev_op_ldpc_enc ldpc_enc;
342        }
343    };
344
345    struct rte_bbdev_dec_op {
346        int status;
347        struct rte_mempool *mempool;
348        void *opaque_data;
349        union {
350            struct rte_bbdev_op_turbo_dec turbo_enc;
351            struct rte_bbdev_op_ldpc_dec ldpc_enc;
352        }
353    };
354
355The operation structure by itself defines the operation type. It includes an
356operation status, a reference to the operation specific data, which can vary in
357size and content depending on the operation being provisioned. It also contains
358the source mempool for the operation, if it is allocated from a mempool.
359
360If bbdev operations are allocated from a bbdev operation mempool, see next
361section, there is also the ability to allocate private memory with the
362operation for applications purposes.
363
364Application software is responsible for specifying all the operation specific
365fields in the ``rte_bbdev_*_op`` structure which are then used by the bbdev PMD
366to process the requested operation.
367
368
369Operation Management and Allocation
370~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
371
372The bbdev library provides an API set for managing bbdev operations which
373utilize the Mempool Library to allocate operation buffers. Therefore, it ensures
374that the bbdev operation is interleaved optimally across the channels and
375ranks for optimal processing.
376
377.. code-block:: c
378
379    struct rte_mempool *
380    rte_bbdev_op_pool_create(const char *name, enum rte_bbdev_op_type type,
381            unsigned int num_elements, unsigned int cache_size,
382            int socket_id)
383
384``rte_bbdev_*_op_alloc_bulk()`` and ``rte_bbdev_*_op_free_bulk()`` are used to
385allocate bbdev operations of a specific type from a given bbdev operation mempool.
386
387.. code-block:: c
388
389    int rte_bbdev_enc_op_alloc_bulk(struct rte_mempool *mempool,
390            struct rte_bbdev_enc_op **ops, uint16_t num_ops)
391
392    int rte_bbdev_dec_op_alloc_bulk(struct rte_mempool *mempool,
393            struct rte_bbdev_dec_op **ops, uint16_t num_ops)
394
395``rte_bbdev_*_op_free_bulk()`` is called by the application to return an
396operation to its allocating pool.
397
398.. code-block:: c
399
400    void rte_bbdev_dec_op_free_bulk(struct rte_bbdev_dec_op **ops,
401            unsigned int num_ops)
402    void rte_bbdev_enc_op_free_bulk(struct rte_bbdev_enc_op **ops,
403            unsigned int num_ops)
404
405BBDEV Inbound/Outbound Memory
406~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
407
408The bbdev operation structure contains all the mutable data relating to
409performing Turbo and LDPC coding on a referenced mbuf data buffer. It is used for either
410encode or decode operations.
411
412
413.. csv-table:: Operation I/O
414   :header: "FEC", "In", "Out"
415   :widths: 20, 30, 30
416
417   "Turbo Encode", "input", "output"
418   "Turbo Decode", "input", "hard output"
419   " ", " ", "soft output (optional)"
420   "LDPC Encode", "input", "output"
421   "LDPC Decode", "input", "hard output"
422   "", "HQ combine (optional)", "HQ combine (optional)"
423   " ", "", "soft output (optional)"
424
425
426It is expected that the application provides input and output mbuf pointers
427allocated and ready to use.
428
429The baseband framework supports FEC coding on Code Blocks (CB) and
430Transport Blocks (TB).
431
432For the output buffer(s), the application is required to provide an allocated
433and free mbuf, to which the resulting output will be written.
434
435The support of split "scattered" buffers is a driver-specific feature, so it is
436reported individually by the supporting driver as a capability.
437
438Input and output data buffers are identified by ``rte_bbdev_op_data`` structure,
439as follows:
440
441.. code-block:: c
442
443    struct rte_bbdev_op_data {
444        struct rte_mbuf *data;
445        uint32_t offset;
446        uint32_t length;
447    };
448
449
450This structure has three elements:
451
452- ``data``: This is the mbuf data structure representing the data for BBDEV
453  operation.
454
455  This mbuf pointer can point to one Code Block (CB) data buffer or multiple CBs
456  contiguously located next to each other. A Transport Block (TB) represents a
457  whole piece of data that is divided into one or more CBs. Maximum number of
458  CBs can be contained in one TB is defined by
459  ``RTE_BBDEV_(TURBO/LDPC)MAX_CODE_BLOCKS``.
460
461  An mbuf data structure cannot represent more than one TB. The smallest piece
462  of data that can be contained in one mbuf is one CB.
463  An mbuf can include one contiguous CB, subset of contiguous CBs that are
464  belonging to one TB, or all contiguous CBs that belong to one TB.
465
466  If a BBDEV PMD supports the extended capability "Scatter-Gather", then it is
467  capable of collecting (gathering) non-contiguous (scattered) data from
468  multiple locations in the memory.
469  This capability is reported by the capability flags:
470
471  - ``RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_ENC_SCATTER_GATHER``, ``RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_DEC_SCATTER_GATHER``,
472
473  - ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_ENC_SCATTER_GATHER``, ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_DEC_SCATTER_GATHER``.
474
475  Chained mbuf data structures are only accepted if a BBDEV PMD supports this
476  feature. A chained mbuf can represent one non-contiguous CB or multiple non-contiguous
477  CBs. The first mbuf segment in the given chained mbuf represents the first piece
478  of the CB. Offset is only applicable to the first segment. ``length`` is the
479  total length of the CB.
480
481  BBDEV driver is responsible for identifying where the split is and enqueue
482  the split data to its internal queues.
483
484  If BBDEV PMD does not support this feature, it will assume inbound mbuf data
485  contains one segment.
486
487  The output mbuf data though is always one segment, even if the input was a
488  chained mbuf.
489
490
491- ``offset``: This is the starting point of the BBDEV (encode/decode) operation,
492  in bytes.
493
494  BBDEV starts to read data past this offset.
495  In case of chained mbuf, this offset applies only to the first mbuf segment.
496

498- ``length``: This is the total data length to be processed in one operation,
499  in bytes.
500
501  In case the mbuf data is representing one CB, this is the length of the CB
502  undergoing the operation.
503  If it is for multiple CBs, this is the total length of those CBs undergoing
504  the operation.
505  If it is for one TB, this is the total length of the TB under operation.
506  In case of chained mbuf, this data length includes the lengths of the
507  "scattered" data segments undergoing the operation.

525        };
526    };
527
528The Turbo encode structure includes the ``input`` and ``output`` mbuf
529data pointers. The provided mbuf pointer of ``input`` needs to be big
530enough to stretch for extra CRC trailers.

542   "tb_params", "transport block specific parameters (transport block mode only)"
543
544
545The encode interface works on both the code block (CB) and the transport block
546(TB). An operation executes in "CB-mode" when the CB is standalone. While
547"TB-mode" executes when an operation performs on one or multiple CBs that
548belong to a TB. Therefore, a given data can be standalone CB, full-size TB or
549partial TB. Partial TB means that only a subset of CBs belonging to a bigger TB
550are being enqueued.
551
552  **NOTE:** It is assumed that all enqueued ops in one ``rte_bbdev_enqueue_enc_ops()``
553  call belong to one mode, either CB-mode or TB-mode.
554
555In case that the TB is smaller than Z (6144 bits), then effectively the TB = CB.
556CRC24A is appended to the tail of the CB. The application is responsible for
557calculating and appending CRC24A before calling BBDEV in case that the
558underlying driver does not support CRC24A generation.
559
560In CB-mode, CRC24A/B is an optional operation.
561The CB parameter ``k`` is the size of the CB (this maps to K as described
562in 3GPP TS 36.212 section 5.1.2), this size is inclusive of CRC24A/B.
563The ``length`` is inclusive of CRC24A/B and equals to ``k`` in this case.
564
565Not all BBDEV PMDs are capable of CRC24A/B calculation. Flags
566``RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_CRC_24A_ATTACH`` and ``RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_CRC_24B_ATTACH``
567informs the application with relevant capability. These flags can be set in the
568``op_flags`` parameter to indicate to BBDEV to calculate and append CRC24A/B
569to CB before going forward with Turbo encoding.
570
571Output format of the CB encode will have the encoded CB in ``e`` size output
572(this maps to E described in 3GPP TS 36.212 section 5.1.4.1.2). The output mbuf
573buffer size needs to be big enough to hold the encoded buffer of size ``e``.
574
575In TB-mode, CRC24A is assumed to be pre-calculated and appended to the inbound
576TB mbuf data buffer.
577The output mbuf data structure is expected to be allocated by the application
578with enough room for the output data.
579
580The difference between the partial and full-size TB is that we need to know the
581index of the first CB in this group and the number of CBs contained within.
582The first CB index is given by ``r`` but the number of the remaining CBs is
583calculated automatically by BBDEV before passing down to the driver.
584
585The number of remaining CBs should not be confused with ``c``. ``c`` is the
586total number of CBs that composes the whole TB (this maps to C as
587described in 3GPP TS 36.212 section 5.1.2).
588
589The ``length`` is total size of the CBs inclusive of any CRC24A and CRC24B in
590case they were appended by the application.
591
592The case when one CB belongs to TB and is being enqueued individually to BBDEV,
593this case is considered as a special case of partial TB where its number of CBs
594is 1. Therefore, it requires to get processed in TB-mode.
595
596The figure below visualizes the encoding of CBs using BBDEV interface in
597TB-mode. CB-mode is a reduced version, where only one CB exists:

626            struct rte_bbdev_op_dec_tb_params tb_params;
627        };
628    };
629
630The Turbo decode structure includes the ``input``, ``hard_output`` and
631optionally the ``soft_output`` mbuf data pointers.
632
633.. csv-table:: **struct rte_bbdev_op_turbo_dec** parameters

648   "cb_params", "code block specific parameters (code block mode only)"
649   "tb_params", "transport block specific parameters (transport block mode only)"
650
651Similarly, the decode interface works on both the code block (CB) and the
652transport block (TB). An operation executes in "CB-mode" when the CB is
653standalone. While "TB-mode" executes when an operation performs on one or
654multiple CBs that belong to a TB. Therefore, a given data can be standalone CB,
655full-size TB or partial TB. Partial TB means that only a subset of CBs belonging
656to a bigger TB are being enqueued.
657
658  **NOTE:** It is assumed that all enqueued ops in one ``rte_bbdev_enqueue_dec_ops()``
659  call belong to one mode, either CB-mode or TB-mode.
660
661
662The CB parameter ``k`` is the size of the decoded CB (this maps to K as described in
6633GPP TS 36.212 section 5.1.2), this size is inclusive of CRC24A/B.
664The ``length`` is inclusive of CRC24A/B and equals to ``k`` in this case.
665
666The input encoded CB data is the Virtual Circular Buffer data stream, wk, with
667the null padding included as described in 3GPP TS 36.212 section 5.1.4.1.2 and
668shown in 3GPP TS 36.212 section 5.1.4.1 Figure 5.1.4-1.
669The size of the virtual circular buffer is 3*Kpi, where Kpi is the 32 byte
670aligned value of K, as specified in 3GPP TS 36.212 section 5.1.4.1.1.
671
672Each byte in the input circular buffer is the LLR value of each bit of the
673original CB.
674
675``hard_output`` is a mandatory capability that all BBDEV PMDs support. This is
676the decoded CBs of K sizes (CRC24A/B is the last 24-bit in each decoded CB).
677Soft output is an optional capability for BBDEV PMDs. Setting flag
678``RTE_BBDEV_TURBO_DEC_TB_CRC_24B_KEEP`` in ``op_flags`` directs BBDEV to retain
679CRC24B at the end of each CB. This might be useful for the application in debug
680mode.
681An LLR rate matched output is computed in the ``soft_output`` buffer structure
682for the given CB parameter ``e`` size (this maps to E described in
6833GPP TS 36.212 section 5.1.4.1.2). The output mbuf buffer size needs to be big
684enough to hold the encoded buffer of size ``e``.
685
686The first CB Virtual Circular Buffer (VCB) index is given by ``r`` but the
687number of the remaining CB VCBs is calculated automatically by BBDEV before
688passing down to the driver.
689
690The number of remaining CB VCBs should not be confused with ``c``. ``c`` is the
691total number of CBs that composes the whole TB (this maps to C as
692described in 3GPP TS 36.212 section 5.1.2).
693
694The ``length`` is total size of the CBs inclusive of any CRC24A and CRC24B in
695case they were appended by the application.
696
697The case when one CB belongs to TB and is being enqueued individually to BBDEV,
698this case is considered as a special case of partial TB where its number of CBs
699is 1. Therefore, it requires to get processed in TB-mode.
700
701The output mbuf data structure is expected to be allocated by the application
702with enough room for the output data.

818
819The mbuf input ``input`` is mandatory for all BBDEV PMDs and is the
820incoming code block or transport block data.
821
822The mbuf output ``output`` is mandatory and is the encoded CB(s). In
823CB-mode ut contains the encoded CB of size ``e`` (E  in 3GPP TS 38.212
824section 6.2.5). In TB-mode it contains multiple contiguous encoded CBs
825of size ``ea`` or ``eb``.
826The ``output`` buffer is allocated by the application with enough room
827for the output data.
828
829The encode interface works on both a code block (CB) and a transport
830block (TB) basis.
831
832  **NOTE:** All enqueued ops in one ``rte_bbdev_enqueue_enc_ops()``
833  call belong to one mode, either CB-mode or TB-mode.
834
835The valid modes of operation are:
836
837* CB-mode: one CB (attach CRC24B if required)
838* CB-mode: one CB making up one TB (attach CRC24A if required)
839* TB-mode: one or more CB of a partial TB (attach CRC24B(s) if required)
840* TB-mode: one or more CB of a complete TB (attach CRC24AB(s) if required)
841
842In CB-mode if ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_CRC_24A_ATTACH`` is set then CRC24A
843is appended to the CB. If ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_CRC_24A_ATTACH`` is not
844set the application is responsible for calculating and appending CRC24A
845before calling BBDEV. The input data mbuf ``length`` is inclusive of
846CRC24A/B where present and is equal to the code block size ``K``.
847
848In TB-mode, CRC24A is assumed to be pre-calculated and appended to the
849inbound TB data buffer, unless the ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_CRC_24A_ATTACH``
850flag is set when it is the  responsibility of BBDEV. The input data
851mbuf ``length`` is total size of the CBs inclusive of any CRC24A and
852CRC24B in the case they were appended by the application.
853
854Not all BBDEV PMDs may be capable of CRC24A/B calculation. Flags
855``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_CRC_24A_ATTACH`` and ``RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_CRC_24B_ATTACH``
856inform the application of the relevant capability. These flags can be set
857in the ``op_flags`` parameter to indicate BBDEV to calculate and append
858CRC24A to CB before going forward with LDPC encoding.
859
860The difference between the partial and full-size TB is that BBDEV needs
861the index of the first CB in this group and the number of CBs in the group.
862The first CB index is given by ``r`` but the number of the CBs is
863calculated by BBDEV before signalling to the driver.
864
865The number of CBs in the group should not be confused with ``c``, the
866total number of CBs in the full TB (``C`` as per 3GPP TS 38.212 section 5.2.2)

1029The mbuf input ``input`` encoded CB data is mandatory for all BBDEV PMDs
1030and is the Virtual Circular Buffer data stream with null padding.
1031Each byte in the input circular buffer is the LLR value of each bit of
1032the original CB.
1033
1034The mbuf output ``hard_output`` is mandatory and is the decoded CBs size
1035K (CRC24A/B is the last 24-bit in each decoded CB).
1036
1037The mbuf output ``soft_output`` is optional and is an LLR rate matched
1038output of size ``e`` (this is ``E`` as per 3GPP TS 38.212 section 6.2.5).
1039
1040The mbuf input ``harq_combine_input`` is optional and is a buffer with
1041the input to the HARQ combination function of the device. If the
1042capability RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_INTERNAL_HARQ_MEMORY_IN_ENABLE is set
1043then the HARQ is stored in memory internal to the device and not visible
1044to BBDEV.
1045
1046The mbuf output ``harq_combine_output`` is optional and is a buffer for
1047the output of the HARQ combination function of the device. If the
1048capability RTE_BBDEV_LDPC_INTERNAL_HARQ_MEMORY_OUT_ENABLE is set
1049then the HARQ is stored in memory internal to the device and not visible
1050to BBDEV.
1051
1052The output mbuf data structures are expected to be allocated by the
1053application with enough room for the output data.
1054
1055As with the LDPC encode, the decode interface works on both a code block
1056(CB) and a transport block (TB) basis.
1057
1058  **NOTE:** All enqueued ops in one ``rte_bbdev_enqueue_dec_ops()``
1059  call belong to one mode, either CB-mode or TB-mode.
1060
1061The valid modes of operation are:
1062
1063* CB-mode: one CB (check CRC24B if required)
1064* CB-mode: one CB making up one TB (check CRC24A if required)
1065* TB-mode: one or more CB making up a partial TB (check CRC24B(s) if required)
1066* TB-mode: one or more CB making up a complete TB (check CRC24B(s) if required)
1067
1068The mbuf ``length`` is inclusive of CRC24A/B where present and is equal
1069the code block size ``K``.
1070
1071The first CB Virtual Circular Buffer (VCB) index is given by ``r`` but the
1072number of the remaining CB VCBs is calculated automatically by BBDEV
1073and passed down to the driver.
1074
1075The number of remaining CB VCBs should not be confused with ``c``, the
1076total number of CBs in the full TB (``C`` as per 3GPP TS 38.212 section 5.2.2)
1077
1078The ``length`` is total size of the CBs inclusive of any CRC24A and CRC24B in
1079case they were appended by the application.
1080
1081Figure :numref:`figure_turbo_tb_decode` above
1082showing the Turbo decoding of CBs using BBDEV interface in TB-mode
1083is also valid for LDPC decode.

1086Sample code
1087-----------
1088
1089The baseband device sample application gives an introduction on how to use the
1090bbdev framework, by giving a sample code performing a loop-back operation with a
1091baseband processor capable of transceiving data packets.
1092
