ICT™ & Baseband Providers: Universal solution to improve 3G performance demands.

Devised as an economical and easily deployable solution for interference cancellation on CDMA and WCDMA/HSDPA networks, ICT is delivered as an ASIC/core solution that integrates seamlessly into existing baseband chips.

As field evaluations have highlighted the prevalence of interference on wireless networks, and operators are convinced of the benefits canceling interference on the network, it is inevitable that interference cancellation solutions will be implemented. As operators drive towards low-cost, high-performance solutions, they are showing broad interest in ICT due to its compelling economic benefits and its improvement to a consumer’s experience.

Hardware-efficient advanced receiver optimized for 3G data networks.

• Requires no modification to existing or evolving air interface standards.
• Can be seamlessly integrated into baseband chipsets of CDMA and WCDMA/HSDPA mobile devices today.
• Requires no other components and no re-design of mobile radio frequency (RF), which results in no form factor changes required in the mobile device.
• Occupies a very small silicon footprint.

ICT is the only technology applicable to multiple communication protocols that is capable of canceling interference from all channels in a signal (i.e., overhead and traffic) whether from adjacent base station sectors or from multi-path within the serving sector.

Gains for baseband providers and their customers mean:

• Meeting the industry’s demand for more capacity and enterprise/consumers demand for higher data rates and reliable service.
• Simple integration with existing baseband designs.
• Universal applicability—operates in any carrier frequency.

ICT is a constantly evolving technology.

• Complements other technologies such as receive/transmit diversity.
• Outperforms linear equalizers and in many cases is comparable to MRD at a fraction of the cost.
