Global Mobile Communications Conference, Barcelona, ​​Spain-February 25, 2013-ImaginaTIon Technologies (IMG.L), a leading provider of multimedia, processor, communications and cloud technologies, announced that the company ’s multi-threaded MIPS® * processor core It can bring significant performance benefits to LTE baseband processing on user equipment such as mobile phones and tablet computers than single-threaded processors. Its newly developed LTE and LTE Advanced reference platforms have achieved excellent results, and ImaginaTIon presented the results at the Global Mobile Communications Conference (MWC) in Barcelona, ​​Spain, February 25-28.
Using the MIPS multi-threaded core with excellent performance efficiency, ImaginaTIon and SAI Technology achieved 45% higher performance than the single-threaded platform when executing SAI's LTE Advanced software stack on SMP Linux **. LTE Advanced is an evolved version of LTE. It can greatly increase network capacity and data transmission capabilities, and bring high bandwidth and rich multimedia services to home and business users. Designers of next-generation systems such as picocells, femtocells, and advanced mobile phones can support the new LTE Advanced version 10 through MIPS-Based â„¢ multi-threaded solutions, including carrier aggregation, MIMO, EMBMS and Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE), etc., used to develop high-performance, low-power products.
ImaginaTIon works with SAI and Mentor Graphics to provide an integrated multi-threaded solution for 4G LTE. This solution includes a multi-threaded MIPS processor core, the popular Mentor Graphics Nucleus® VSMP real-time operating system, and SAI's LTE software stack for optimized multi-threaded performance. MIPS-Based multi-threaded solutions can help designers achieve advanced real-time performance, low power consumption and high performance in data card, smart phone, tablet computer and Internet of Things and other systems that use a lot of LTE.
These LTE and LTE Advanced reference platforms fully demonstrate the benefits and feasibility of this solution in the development of 4G systems. Imagination ’s proven multithreaded MIPS processors include the popular MIPS® 34K ™ core and the latest generation of interAptiv ™ multiprocessors, which are available for licensing today. Designers can begin to develop a variety of LTE systems with excellent performance and efficiency by using multi-threaded MIPS cores, SAI's proven LTE and LTE Advanced system software stacks, and industry standard SMP Linux and Mentor Graphics' Nucleus RTOS. The industry can also benefit from the scalability of this solution, using a common tool and architecture for large-span mobile and wireless system product development.
