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
