Smarter Wireless Networks

Wireless networks are rapidly evolving into heterogeneous networks that employ many sizes or classes of basestation. In addition to macrocells, these networks now employ microcells, metrocells, picocells, and even femtocells. These different basestation classes must address different requirements. For macrocells and Cloud-RAN architectures, baseband and backhaul processing is separated from the radio using CPRI or OBSAI over fibre. Small cells lend themselves to far greater levels of integration where the backhaul, baseband and radio processing are typically combined into a single platform. The requirements for small cells differ significantly based on throughput, signal bandwidth, power levels and user counts and in some cases can be implemented in a single device.

Consequently, there’s been a real renaissance in basestation design and there’s a strong desire for the ability to reuse IP and algorithms among these various basestation designs wherever possible. From basestations to microwave backhaul, Xilinx is enabling faster, more cost-efficient wireless communications with All Programmable and Smarter Solutions that help equipment manufacturers leapfrog their competition.
