  • Abstract
    This article introduces an open wireless architecture (OWA) mobile terminal design, focusing on the open baseband processing platform, to support different existing and future wireless communication standards through multi-dimensional open baseband processing modules with open interface parameters and baseband management systems. The article describes a multilayer, open architecture platform to maximize system flexibility and minimize terminal power consumption, so as to provide an integrated and converged next-generation wireless and mobile communication terminal system. The OWA platform is fully compatible with the computer architecture, with interface-based rather than transmission-specific system architecture, for complete openness and simplicity.
