CEVA Launches Communications DSP for 5G Readiness
Published2017.02.23 11:27Communications DSP Integrating Essential Technologies and Specifications of 5G Baseband Systems
CEVA announced the launch of a communications DSP capable of meeting all performance requirements demanded by multi-gigabit modems.
The newly introduced communications DSP 'CEVA-XC12' has been designed based on CEVA's unique expertise in DSP architecture design and long-established partnerships with wireless vendors built over many years, and efficiently implements 5G, gigabit LTE, MU-MIMO Wi-Fi, and other multi-gigabit modems.
CEVA stated that the 'CEVA-XC12' as a DSP architecture provides essential unique performance and power efficiency for multi-gigabit modems. Additionally, thanks to its flexible architecture equipped with various optional functions, it enables customized configuration and scalability to handle a wide range of applications. This covers smartphones and other terminals, advanced centralized access points, small cell base stations, macro base stations, and Cloud RAN (C-RAN), and the company explained that this supports all real-world use cases and deployment scenarios of 5G ranging from 80GHz mmWave to spectrum bands below 6GHz.
In addition to 5G, it is also suitable for ▲LTE-A Pro Evolution ▲Enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) ▲LAA (Licensed Assisted Access, a technology utilizing previously unused frequencies for LTE communication) ▲MulteFire Carrier Aggregation ▲LWA (LTE/Wi-Fi Aggregation) ▲Cellular V2X ▲Wi-Fi 802.11ax ▲WiGig 802.11ad ▲Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) ▲Virtual Reality (VR) design.
Additionally, the company noted that the 'CEVA-XC12' is equipped with state-of-the-art cache-architecture and consistent hardware support capabilities for seamless multi-core implementation.
Michael Boukaya, Vice President and Head of CEVA's Wireless Division, stated, "Delivering multi-gigabit wireless speeds requires a completely new approach to the fundamental vector processor architecture. The 'CEVA-XC12' launched this time is the most powerful communications DSP integrating technologies and specifications essential for the success of 5G baseband systems. With the launch of this new product, we expect CEVA to take one step closer to the future of the wireless industry that is 5G," he said.

SK Telecom First Applies AI-Based Network Operations at Gwanghwamun K-Pop Concert
SK Telecom announced that it applied an AI-based network operation system for the first time at a large-scale K-pop concert held in the Gwanghwamun area of Seoul on March 21st, managing communication quality throughout the event. Mobile data usage during the three hours before and after the concert reached 12.15TB, approximately doubling compared to the same time slot the previous weekend. SK Telecom monitored traffic using the AI system 'A-One' in five-minute and 50-meter units to respond to potential overload situations, while also operating temporary communication facilities and on-site personnel in parallel. This case is interpreted as confirmation of the practical applicability of AI-based autonomous network operation in an environment where demand from dense events and foreign users increases simultaneously.
