SySDSoft’s 3GPP LTE Protocol Stack Achieves 225Mbps Data Rate

Barcelona/Cairo February 19, 2009: SySDSoft, Inc., a leading provider of embedded software for the wireless broadband market, announced today the availability of the first release of its 3GPP LTE protocol stack for User Equipment (UE). 

SySDSoft’s LTE implementation incorporates all standard 3GPP LTE requirements and is fully independent of operating system and hardware platform. The stack has been thoroughly tested on ARM9 (190MHz clock) and achieved the highest throughput to-date, namely 150Mbps DL and 75 Mbps UL. The next release is aimed to double these rates.

SySDSoft has designed its UE stack leveraging its extensive experience in a variety of wireless standards including WiMAX-2005 and CDMA-DO. The solution comprises L2 and L3 of the protocol stack defined by 3GPP. The L2 solution comprises the MAC, RLC, and PDCP, support for HW ciphering/deciphering, ARQ, and channel prioritization. The RRC (L3) implementation supports the cell selection, mobility, paging, and connection establishment and release.

"LTE will be adopted by most of the operators worldwide within the coming few years, and SySDSoft seized this opportunity to offer the shortest time-to-market LTE protocol stack for UE chip manufacturers” said Khaled Ismail, CEO of SySDSoft.

A reference design and technical support are immediately available to companies wishing to incorporate LTE UE stack into their integrated system-on-chip (SoC) or to port it onto their dedicated hardware.
