mimoOn Implements 3GPP LTE Protocol Stack on Packet Processor

mimoOn GmbH has announced the implementation of the entire LTE protocol stack on Wintegra’s WinPath2 access processor. The solution is optimized for low memory footprint, as well as for processing power and power consumption. The MAC, RLC, PDCP, and RRC components will all be featured, based on the Release 8 36.3XX series baseline specifications from 3GPP. The implementation incorporates innovations such as advanced scheduler algorithms that optimize 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 pre-certified through the company’s Test and Certification partners. The WinPath2 platform provides high performance by utilizing multi-processing multi-threading 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 multi-core engine with large program memory, which provides enhanced processing power along with scalability and the flexibility to upgrade as protocols and standards evolve.
