Looking at the Wireless Network Transformation under the LTE Trend from the Semiconductor Industry

In the evolution of next-generation networks, how to guarantee the high performance, high utilization, low power consumption, and optimization of traffic and management of existing networks is an urgent task for current operators.

Aside from the surface and microscopic technologies, it is not difficult for us to find that the low-profile semiconductor industry is providing solid support for the perfection of the network with its strong and steady technological strength.

Opportunities Brought by Next-Generation Mobile Technology Reporter: This year marks the beginning of the development of blowout and LTE for 3G development, and marks the 30th anniversary of the establishment of LSI. The proliferation of data services and the deployment of next-generation mobile technologies have accumulated 30 years of experience. What market and technology opportunities does LSI bring?

Wei Zhang: 3G and LTE are rapidly advancing nationwide. LSI sees tremendous growth opportunities in the next generation of high-performance wireless networks, and this is one of the key areas for LSI's future development. From 2G to 3G, LTE, as well as a variety of wireless new network technologies proposed by the industry chain, such as Huawei's Single RAN, Alcatel's lightRadio, etc. have also brought more opportunities and development to LSI.

Through cooperation with operators such as China Mobile, we have seen that, at this stage, operators have invested huge sums in operating and service costs, but they have not been able to obtain satisfactory revenue, and users' demands for bandwidth and so on have been increasing. How to ensure that all aspects of the industry chain can maintain a good return? All these require the support of advanced technologies and products.

In addition, traditional core network storage is not limited to the inherent mode. New distributed storage brings new demands to the storage market.

LSI has already noticed changes in the market and has adopted an aggressive strategy. Not long ago, LSI sold its external storage system business to help LSI focus more on the storage and networking market. At present, LSI has also established a product line for SSDs to gain greater business opportunities in this communications revolution.

Semiconductor technology innovation relieves pressure on the network Reporter: For the current vigorous development of mobile Internet services, operators have repeatedly failed to fully upgrade the network and optimize the network to meet the needs of users for network quality and service experience, and LTE is still a long time away. According to LSI, what methods can be used to resolve these conflicts as quickly as possible?

Wei Zhang: Indeed, the current user experience on the Internet is not very satisfactory. Regarding how to avoid these contradictions in the alternation of old and new standards, LSI has taken several major measures to balance the needs of the market.

First, the new generation of wireless access technologies puts forward the need for soft programming multi-standards for basic equipment. It is necessary to reduce the optimization pressure of different network standards. LSI's multi-core Axxia communications processors, StarPro multi-core media processors, and vector processors for next-generation wireless systems technically enable multi-format software programming.

Second, the imbalance in network utilization often occurs on wireless broadband data services. For example, at different times in different areas such as business districts and residential areas, the network load is too high at peak business hours, and the network utilization rate is low when the business volume is low. In response, LSI has introduced a series of new solutions, including deep packet-rate detection, programmable video acceleration, and advanced network traffic management at the edge of the network, enabling operators to introduce context-aware, policy-based services and secure services. The different priority levels.

Concerning the contradiction between wireless networks, LSI has also introduced a series of Axxia communications processors based on multi-core processors and hardware acceleration engines. These unique architecture products include packet classification, traffic management, server load balancing, and low latency data. Features such as packet processing and deep packet inspection also greatly reduce system power consumption.

Thirdly, deep packet intelligence is also very important. LSI's new processor can have built-in intelligence to check all data over wireless networks, helping operators understand IP network conditions and manage them efficiently. This will also help resolve usability, latency, and quality issues, and will help solve network coverage and security issues effectively.

Reporter: Ericsson's next-generation mobile media gateway integrated with the LSI StarPro multi-core media processor and multi-core communication processor has been put into mass production at the end of last year, which is of concern to the industry. What are the similar LSI cooperation projects? What kind of application trend is presented?

Wei Zhang: Wireless operators need highly scalable and powerful solutions to deal with the explosive demand of broadband and real-time video services. In addition to Ericsson, LSI has also collaborated with major equipment manufacturers at home and abroad to launch products based on StarPro multi-core processors such as media gateways. .

At the same time, LSI is also developing a new generation of media gateway multi-core processors that support video + voice.

In technology migration, wireless operators focus on controlling capital expenditures and operating expenses while ensuring that they provide the best quality experience for their customers. There are many criteria for promoting upgrades, of which the most important is scalability and flexibility. In the base station, the solution needs to develop from a single area to multiple areas or multiple radios, and should support multi-Gb wired speed network scheduling and routing packet throughput in E-UTRAN. The solution also needs to support the IP and migration path of traditional networks, and should achieve interoperability with 3G and 2G networks.

LTE stimulates the maturity of multi-core architecture Reporter: The new architecture of LTE puts forward new requirements for wireless networks from core technologies to base stations to supporting deployments. What are the requirements for the semiconductor industry?

Zhang Wei: Under the general trend of LTE, operators and equipment suppliers have gradually increased the performance requirements of network systems, and at the same time have severely limited power consumption. This has also brought the development direction of single-chip processors to multi-chip. The functions are integrated on a single chip, and the degree of integration in the system architecture is getting higher and higher. The new system must be compatible with multiple systems such as LTE and UMTS.

One of the three characteristics of the LSI processor is multi-format compatibility. The vector processor is used to support the future system including LTE, and software programming can be used to help the device realize smooth transition of multiple systems.

The second is to focus on the balance of utilization among various technical systems, because the other major challenge of multi-system is that when it is specially optimized for a certain standard, this may bring imbalance to other systems, resulting in power consumption, performance, or The waste of size. LSI designs the SoC through the form of vector processor, can realize the special optimization to a certain technical standard, make the utilization ratio between different systems of multiple systems different programming reach the balance at the same time.

The third major feature is the high efficiency cycle. Some LSI media processors use high-efficiency cycled cores, which can more than double the processing efficiency of comparable competing DSP architectures and consume less power.

For LTE, we have also made many enhancements to the multi-core architecture, including enhancing the processing capabilities of the control plane, improving the packet processing efficiency through the acceleration engine, and implementing the fusion processing of the control plane and the data plane.
