As operators worldwide strive to increase their network capacity in more cost-effective ways and keep ahead of swelling user data consumption, Texas Instruments has unveiled a wireless base station system-on-chip (SoC) with the 4G class performance required to meet these escalating needs.

Built as a wireless data engine from its inception, the TMS320TCI6616 is based on TI’s new TMS320C66x digital signal processor (DSP) generation and KeyStone multicore architecture. TI claims it also boasts the industry’s first multicore DSP that processes both fixed- and floating-point math, a capability that simplifies wireless base-station software design. The SoC incorporates the three critical elements of field-proven PHY technology, an autonomous packet processing engine and programmable DSPs, enabling full multicore entitlement.

Implemented as configurable coprocessors, TI PHYs enable software defined radio (SDR) which allows operators to rationally migrate to emerging standards without needing external components. Autonomous packet processing in the TCI6616 manages packets from both core and radio networks, offloading packet processing and freeing cycles for algorithms that enhance spectral efficiency. The four C66x DSP cores in the TCI6616 provide the performance needed for custom IP implementations that base-station developers rely on for product differentiation.
