Coresonic AB, a provider of leading-edge baseband processor technology optimized for next generation multimode wireless modems, sees Asia leading the world in the adoption of WiMAX technology. Attending the first dedicated event for the Asian WiMAX market in Singapore this week, Rick Clucas, CEO of Coresonic, said, “While Western Europe and the USA may be PC and mobile phone centric, Asia is really going to be the key market for adoption of connectivity in a much wider range of consumer devices.” He added, “This is the market where we will see literally anything with a display being a potential application for using WiMAX.”
Coresonic recently announced the first of a series of complete hardware solutions which will allow semiconductor manufacturers to quickly and cost-effectively implement WiMAX functionality into their semiconductor devices. The new WiMax ‘personality pack’, based on the company’s LeoCore programmable baseband processor technology, provides complete IEEE802.16 functionality, from the RF interface through to the central processor interface.
The personality pack supports the mobile WiMAX 802.16e-2005 mobile system profile rev 1.4, which will support other modes such as 802.16d and 802.16j. The pack performs everything from ADC/DAC interface to FEC, including digital front-end signal conditioning, synchronization, MIMO channel estimation/compensation, error correction and chase combing. All blocks provided enable a complete solution from the RF interface to interfacing to a CPU (central processor) to run the MAC layer; the processing intensive elements are implemented in hardware to minimize the load on the MAC CPU.
