Abstract
In this paper, we propose the flexible design architecture for a continuous packet connectivity (CPC) Protocol among additional features of 3GPP HSPA+. In order to meet a practical intellectual property (IP) reuse and the developing time reduction design goals, we utterly take a CPC protocol into account to be realized by reusing digital signal processor (DSP) IP of the proven high speed packet access (HSPA) platform with the minimum hardware modification and addition. Based on the Teak series DSP, the proposed CPC protocol is divided into discontinuous transmit and receive mode, CPC manager, and interface with the proven HSPA platform. According to the regularized verification flow for wireless cellular communication applications, the proposed CPC protocol has been verified in various test scenarios.
