Accelleran, the Belgian 4G small cell specialist, and Cavium have created a platform for urban small-cells.
Called the M101, it is a small form-factor TD-LTE eNodeB design, providing 1W RF power per antenna port and supporting one or two sectors. It will use Cavium’s OCTEON Fusion baseband processor.
The M101 is intended for deployment in urban heterogeneous networks (HetNets), where the deployment of small cells will complement macro cell coverage and add significantly to network capacity in high demand areas.
The time duplex (TDD) method of LTE operation is being deployed later than its frequency duplex (FDD) LTE counterpart, but many people expect that the upcoming rollouts of TD-LTE in China, India and Russia will result in an opportunity for the technology. For instance iPhone 6 can support these TD-LTE bands.
“We were impressed by the maturity of Cavium’s integrated LTE protocol stack; this has demonstrated successful interoperability with many different core networks,” says Accelleran’s CEO Trevor Moore, “the fact their SoC has an optimised host processor is also important: it ensures full performance for VoLTE, which some baseband SoCs struggle with and allows us to include high-value services onto the M101 platform”.
