The 3GPP Release 9 compliant LTE UE PHY IP is a Category 4 UE solution. The current LTE design supports 2 transmit and 2 receiver antenna ports. The UE Layer 1 is optimized for TI’s C66x DSP core. The design is flexible to scale the UE categories across various Keystone II platforms and others. Layer 1 supports QAM64 highest MCS along with MIMO to demonstrate best throughputs. Transmission modes like SISO & MIMO (SM and SFBC) are supported. Layer 1 and Higher Layer Software (HLS) are interfaced with an interface like FAPI.
The LTE UE reference design has inter worked with multiple eNBs and T&M equipment. The UE Stack supports different form-factors for the applications like handset, Man-pack, or Outdoor type
