Product Description
LTE Physical & Protocol Layers for UE (User Equipment) on SDR, DSP & ASIC Platforms
- mi!MobilePHY™ 3GPP Fully Compliant LTE PHY
- mi!MobileSTACK™ 3GPP Fully Compliant LTE MAC, RLC, PDCP, RRC & NAS Protocols
- Entirely Software Defined delivering complete flexibility and scalability
- Optimized for low memory, processing power, and power consumption
- Innovative algorithms such as advanced MIMO detectors
- Comprehensive and configurable debug infrastructure
- Pre-certified with leading test partners
mi!MobilePHY™ is based on a modular architecture and flexible interfaces to enable fast porting and easy adaptation to specific system modules. Since the LTE standard is defined for a large range of system capabilities, the software has been made highly configurable.
This enables
- tailoring of the required features and efficient utilization of the available hardware resources
- reduction of the required resources will minimize the bill of materials for the end device.
- The software is fully compliant with 3GPP Release 8 and supports all mandatory and optional features.
- The design benefits from the strong experience of mimoOn in high performance algorithms for multi-antenna systems. This is a crucial feature for efficient spectrum usage and maximal data throughput within the system.
- All user equipment categories are supported. This means among other features, 64QAM modulation at highest data rates, and all MIMO modes such as SISO, SM, and SFBC. mi!MobilePHY™ will support the maximum number of users per TTI.
