Agilent Technologies Inc. (A) announced an agreement to collaborate with China Mobile Communications Co. Ltd. Research Institute or CMRI.
The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding in Beijing to initiate a collaboration that will focus on developing technology and test methods for a next-generation cloud-based radio access network, or C-RAN.
It is anticipated that the new C-RAN architecture will include multiple wireless standards such as GSM, TD-SCDMA, TD-LTE, and TD-LTE-Advanced will centralize signal processing in the cloud through a high-speed optical fiber link and would support eight antennas in a single base station, coordinated multipoint transmission and reception (CoMP), and general-purpose processors for wireless data processing.
