IC packaging partnership proves a success
IC packaging leader Advanced Semiconductor Engineering has announced its commitment to Ansoft's HFSS, Q3D Extractor and AnsoftLinks simulation products for IC packaging design and model extraction.
The MAC, RLC, PDCP and RRC components will all be fully featured, based on the Release 8 36.3XX series baseline specifications from 3GPP.
In addition, mimoOn's solution is entirely software defined, so it is easy to modify or customise even after being deployed an important feature as the standards for the protocol layers will continue to be revised well into 2009.
The implementation incorporates innovations such as advanced scheduler algorithms that optimise in time and frequency to enable higher throughput and capacity based on traffic loads, channel impairments and QoS targets.
This protocol stack, along with mimoOn's previously announced LTE PHY solution, will be precertified through the company's test and certification partners.
The WinPath2 platform provides high performance by using multiprocessing multithreading data path engines, along with high-speed memory interfaces.
It also includes hardware accelerators for integrated security, hierarchical shaping, deep packet classification, intrusion detection, and content searching all with low power consumption and system cost.
The control path is provided by an integrated MIPS 24K processor.
The data path processing comprises a multicore engine with large program memory, which provides enhanced processing power along with scalability and the flexibility to upgrade as protocols and standards evolve.
"LTE will enable the next generation of wireless networks to achieve 100Mbit/s downlink and 50Mbit/s uplink capability, and has been a major theme at recent shows", says Thomas Kaiser, CEO of mimoOn.
"With this integrated high performance solution, mimoOn now offers the entire reference chain of LTE PHY and protocol stack software, enabling one-stop shopping for manufacturers who need to meet time to market windows in 2009".
