Advances in wireless technologies have resulted in the ability of a wireless communication system to support wireless communications of different standards, e.g., 5G, LTE, and Wi-Fi. Different Wireless standards have aspects which are very different from each other. Described in the present disclosure are embodiments of architecture with hardware and software split to allow implementation of different wireless standards along a configurable signal process path. The configurable signal process path comprises software configurable operators that may be configured in a desired level of granularity to load desirable software to process signals of various standards on the same hardware. Embodiments of the disclosed architecture with hybrid hardware and software implementation may improve system operation efficiency and lower system complexity to serve communications across multiple wireless standards.

Systems and methods for hybrid hardware and software implementation of multiple wireless standards

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.
