The entire LTE protocol stack has been implemented on Wintegra's WinPath2 access processor by mimoOn GmbH, a specialist in software defined radio (SDR) solutions that has already implemented an LTE PHY solution.
The solution is optimized for low memory footprint and power consumption. The MAC, RLC, PDCP, and RRC components will all be fully featured, based on the Release 8 36.3XX series baseline specifications from 3GPP.
Since mimoOn's solution is entirely software defined it is easy to modify or customize even after being deployed. The implementation incorporates innovations such as advanced scheduler algorithms that optimize in time and frequency to enable higher throughput and capacity based on traffic loads, channel impairments, and QoS targets.
This protocol stack, along with mimoOn's previously announced LTE PHY solution, will be pre-certified through the company's Test and Certification partners.
The WinPath2 platform provides high performance by utilizing multi-processing multi-threading data path engines, along with high-speed memory interfaces. It also includes hardware accelerators for integrated security, hierarchical shaping, deep packet classification, intrusion detection, and content searching.
The control path is provided by an integrated MIPS 24K processor. The data path processing comprises a multi-core engine with large program memory, which provides enhanced processing power along with scalability and the flexibility to upgrade as protocols and standards evolve.

mimoOn will demonstrate its LTE SDR solutions at the LTE World Summit show in Berlin from May 21 to 23, and the NGMN Industry Conference in Frankfurt from June 25 to 27.
