LTE Physical Layer Behavioural Model

Tools and software libraries to simplify the development of the LTE radio access interface.

LTE is the next generation of mobile communications that will deliver to users higher data rates and with it enhanced services. Key to delivering these services is the implementation of the radio access interface which now uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM).

The LTE Physical Layer Behavioural Model

Fortunately, Roke has simplified the development process for vendors with the availability of an LTE physical layer behavioural model which comprises:

• Baseband Software Libraries - implement the LTE Physical Layer transmit and receive algorithms compliant with 3GPP RAN4 Performance requirements.
• Physical Layer Simulation Tool - uses the Baseband Software Libraries to model the end-to-end behaviour of the downlink and uplink physical channels.

Features and Benefits

The LTE Physical Layer Behavioural Model supports vendors with:

• Physical Layer Simulation Tool - to analyse algorithm optimisation and performance tradeoffs
• Baseband Software Libraries - to accelerate implementation onto a real-time hardware platform
• Rapid Design Analysis - for optimal cost, power and performance

Capability

Roke has been an active participant and contributor to the LTE design within the 3GPP RAN working groups since 2005. Consequently, the LTE Physical Layer Behavioural Model utilises our in-depth knowledge of the LTE specifications and our extensive experience of developing baseband solutions on a variety of DSP, FPGA and proprietary platforms. Roke was also the first to demonstrate an LTE RF front end.

If you require our expertise to accelerate your LTE development using our LTE simulation tools and/or baseband software libraries then contact us.
