In this full project, a baseband core for TD-LTE Femto basestation (BTS) would be developed. Key areas in TD-LTE system implementation, such as Very fine Doppler estimation, SC-FDMA demodulator, Multi-User MIMO pilot separation and common API to third party MAC and protocol stack, will be explored. Reference designs and TD-LTE Femto BTS baseband IP will be delivered as the achievements of this project. Along with these, the wireless communication R&D talents trained in this project will benefit the local as well as greater China industry in strengthening their competitiveness in the world market. This project will have significant impacts and benefits to the local industry. LTE has been selected by most of the operators in the world as the evolution of their cellular networks. It represents a huge market with more than 3 billion users. TD-LTE, which is one of the two modes defined in LTE, is not only widely accepted by worldwide operators but is also regarded as the evolution of China’s own 3G standard i.e. TD-SCDMA by China Government and China Mobile who would provide fully support. Femto BTS, which can provide service to small coverage area with self-configuration and self-optimization features, has the advantages of reducing operator’s capital and operating expenditure while maximizing the capacity and efficiency of the network. According ABI research’s estimation, there would be 102 million users and 32 million Femto BTS by year 2011. This project would generate world-first reference designs for TD-LTE Femto BTS. Early availability of reference designs for TD-LTE Femto BTS will create a competitive edge for local design houses, equipment venders and OEM/ODM manufacturers and help them to have an excellent position in TD-LTE world market. With the control of core technology, the competitiveness of local industries would be greatly improved.
