High-performance eNodeB reference framework to accelerate LTE base station development
Rigorously tested for functionality and performance, the eNodeB reference framework is designed to help telecom equipment manufacturers (TEMs) deliver high-performance base stations in multiple form factors, including femto, pico, metro and micro-cell configurations and is available for both LTE FDD and TD-LTE variants.
According to the Global Mobile Suppliers Association (GSA), LTE is the fastest developing mobile technology ever. With 24 commercial LTE networks already launched in 16 countries and 166 LTE networks deployments being planned in 62 countries, there is a big market demand for high-capacity, cost-effective LTE base stations of all form factors.
The Aricent-Picochip eNBF reference framework includes Layer 2 and Layer 3 software from Aricent, which is optimized on the Cavium 56xx, 58xx, and 63xx processor family and integrated with Layer 1 software on Picochip’s PC7608/09 platform. The reference framework supports both Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD) modes of operation and a variety of carrier frequencies. It also supports LTE advanced features like 2×2 DL MIMO, etc and has an upgrade path to LTE-A and Release 10.
The integrated framework has been comprehensively tested for interoperability with both test UEs (Signalion and Aeroflex) and with commercial terminals, ensuring ready-to-build platform for TEMs. It has also passed IOT testing with commercial packet cores.
