LTE System Test Bed uses RapidIO

From the Ericsson Review No. 1 , 2007

LTE test bed
Bernt Johansson and Tomas Sundin

The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is specifying the longterm evolution of third-generation cellular systems to meet demands for higher user bit rates. Ericsson has thus developed a test bed to evaluate new access technologies and to investigate the suitability of new implementation technologies for future radio-access products. The authors explain the access concept and anticipated requirements for LTE and describe the test-bed system, architecture, subsystems, and technology...............

....... The LTE test bed
Ericsson designed the LTE test bed around commercially available technology to provide
a flexible, high-performance platform that can serve as the basis for the development
of layer-1, layer-2, and in time, layer-3 (L1, L2, L3) software functionality. The use
of serial RapidIO technology, in particular, helps ensure platform flexibility.
The platform is based on advanced telecom computing architecture (ATCA) and advanced mezzanine card (AMC) processing boards. Together, these form a processor cluster. The test bed connects to an application server and client via TCP/IP over Ethernet................
