    摘要: With advanced compute capabilities and growing convergence of various wireless standards, it is desired to run multiple wireless standards on a single hardware together. Embodiments are disclosed for lower MAC protocol processing across multiple wireless standards and multiple radios. A common hardware may be used for processing lower MAC flows across multiple wireless standards, e.g., Wi-Fi, LTE, or 5G NR, multiple radios within a wireless standard, multiple users within a wireless standard, and/or different directions of radio. The implementation may support partial data processing of a flow, switching across flows, and context saving/restoring of flows. Furthermore, for better performance, looking ahead of flows and prefetching of context and data may also be implemented. Embodiments of the present patent disclosure may result in a very area-efficient and power-efficient hardware implementation for lower MAC protocol processing.

    摘要: With advanced compute capabilities and growing convergence of wireless standards, it is desirable to run multiple wireless standards, e.g., 4G, 5G NR, and Wi-Fi, on a single signal processing system. In the present disclosure, two baseband processors are used with each processor dedicated for one type of signal processing, such as 5G or Wi-Fi. The two baseband processors are interlinked via a chip-to-chip interconnect link for ingress and egress data transfer between the two processors. These two processors share an Ethernet link for benefits including cost saving, reduction in overall chipset power, and reduced form factor of the enclosure. Application of the disclosed embodiments may realize concurrent 5G Fronthaul and Wi-Fi traffic processing on the same Ethernet link. Such an application may be applied to other related scenarios, including Ethernet link sharing for dual Wi-Fi baseband processors, and Ethernet link sharing for Wi-Fi and gNodeB deployments, etc.
