Overview

LTE Framework™ is a complete LTE Physical layer development SDK on Visual Studio and Code Composer Studio (CCS) / DSP. It implements the LTE physical layer according to 3GPP Standard Release 8 & 9 for Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA). It is a fast solution to understand all signals processing inside the LTE standard. Therefore, it will significantly reduce the development time and cost.

Key Benefit

• 3GPP standard releases 8 and 9 fully compliant for LTE Physical Layers (PHY).
• Entirely Software Defined, Easy to Customize and Upgrade.
• Designed in ANSI C.
• Verified using standard Signal Measurement equipments (i.e. AMU, FSQ, and CMW5000)
• Can be directly mapped into hardware logic.
• Optimized for DSP platform.
• Quick Time-to-Market and Low Risk.
• Modular Design (Ease HW/SW Partitioning)
• Complete C/C++ Source/Object Code
• API Interface is based on Queuing (Ease L2/L3 integration)

Features

Specification
