Roadmap for LTE small cell system users

picoChip released its roadmap for LTE small cell system users in the next phase, and also established that the company is the first baseband company in the Femto Forum to support the new LTE application program interface.

The company added the PC500 solution to its roadmap, which is a highly integrated, cost-effective baseband processor that is compatible with its industry-leading PC960x development system code that supports the uTCA standard.

By running the company's proven PC860x software-defined LTE modem, the PC500 can provide a low-risk platform for carrier-grade enterprise and metro home base station products. All picoChip LTE solutions support both FDD and TDD operating modes, and also support a wide range of industry standard frequency bands.

"Small cells are critical to the success of LTE," said Mr. Rupert Baines, vice president of marketing at picoChip. "But the traditional development model is not suitable for these products. The PC960x gives our customers a system development advantage one year in advance. PC500 will expand this advantage. It is not only compatible with our proven LTE solution, but also compatible with our market-leading HSPA + and WiMax products, and also works well with second-generation mobile communication (2G) products. Cooperation. So it also provides a smooth transition path and unparalleled integration potential, paving the way to dual mode (LTE and HSPA +) and even multiple modes. "

The new application program interface released by the Home Base Station Forum can help LTE home base station developers integrate subsystems from different vendors, reduce integration costs and time, and accelerate the development of home base stations and other small cell base stations that are extremely important for LTE network deployment .

"The home base station has brought rapid development, which is simply provided by the macro network without breaking the border itself." Caroline Gabriel, co-founder and analyst of market research company Rethink Technology Research. "If we are heading for multiple markets from thousands of cellular sites to millions of sites, then home base stations will be a particularly important addition to traditional macro networks."

This new API targets three basic functions of home base stations: the interface from baseband to radio frequency, scheduling (allocating data packets to frequency and timing), and network monitoring (reducing macro network interference and optimizing home base station coverage) . Crucially, this API interface allows vendors such as picoChip to stand out in many key areas through unique methods, while helping to ensure that their solutions are compatible with other compliant home base station components and subsystems .

According to Yankee Group ’s recent survey, 65% of operators expect to use “home base stations” to establish their own LTE coverage network at least partially “out of the ground” in late 2012, which will include outdoor home base station area coverage applications, as well as off-building Establish macro base stations and home base stations in parallel to achieve the most flexible and optimized coverage.

The new PC500 device will use picoChip's multi-core signal processing technology (picoArray) to provide the physical layer (PHY), lower MAC and encryption features required by LTE. In terms of its full processing power, it is one of the highest performing digital signal processing (DSP) devices on the market, providing 105GMAC and almost 800GIPS computing power. This programmable system can be upgraded to support interoperability, changes in standards, and product features of specific manufacturers.
