2.5G & 3G CommunicationsProcessing Complexity

Requirements-- More silicon, More SW, More MIPS

Baseband Processing Trends Increased digital baseband horsepower for higher data rates Logic migration from SW to HW for performance and power consumption Higher memory requirements for protocol stack and applications Support for data standards

TCP/IP H.263 videoconferencing SMS / EMS / MMS

Three options for multimedia processing

Power-efficient Multimedia Processing Balancing flexibility, horsepower, and power consumption

TI OMAP Processor (OMAP1610)

Optimized wireless multimedia requiresappropriate use of each processor

A multi-processor approach allows moreintelligent power management strategies

Different operational modes use differentprocessor subsets

Processor engines are powered-off when not in use

Parallel processing increases effective MIPS and guarantees QoS

Power-efficient wireless multimedia requires optimal silicon-level and system-level integration of all three types of processing engines

General purpose RISC processor Programmable DSP Dedicated HW accelerators

RISC for maximum flexibility, high-level language and OS support

DSPs provide flexible acceleration with provenpower consumption benefits

HW acceleration trades reduced flexibility for minimum die-size and maximum performance

2.5G & 3G Terminals as Open Platforms

Application SW innovation will drive mobile Internet market growth

2.5G and 3G must deliver compelling applications and content

Applications SW design and architecturedirectly impact the user experience Speed and responsiveness Handset power efficiency and battery life

Handsets are evolving into moreopen platforms Open software environment at

the handset and chipset level Flexibility for the handset OEM,

wireless operator, and consumer

High-level OS and/or Java willbecome standard for 2.5G & 3G

The search for “killer apps” requiresa thriving SW developer base

ISV diversity ensures the best applications and wireless experience
