Designing multiple PCI Express processor nodes into xTCA host systems
Limited support for multiple processor nodes within the PCI Express® fabric has presented a barrier to wider adoption of PCI Express-based systems in xTCA architectures. This paper describes how advances in configurable Processor AdvancedMC™ module technology resolve the issue in PCI-Express-based MicroTCA™ and AdvancedTCA® systems.
Implementing ATCA Serving Gateways for LTE Networks
One key challenge of LTE is how core network components will keep up with massive increases in access link throughput (e.g., seven times HSPA data rates). How evolved core network equipment manufacturers rise to this challenge will be critical for determining subscriber satisfaction with their LTE service experiences. To focus on the challenge, this article discusses the “best practices” approach for building an ATCA Serving Gateway node, the very backbone of the LTE network user plane.
