LTE RLC provides concatenation, segmentation, and error correction services at the LTE-Uu interface. Trillium LTE RLC is a complete implementation of the protocol layer as specified in 3GPP TS 36.322 E-UTRA Radio Link Control (RLC) protocol specification on the eNodeB. The following diagram shows where in the LTE-Uu interface LTE RLC is implemented.

Trillium LTE RLC software enables Network Equipment Providers of eNodeB’s to:

  • Accelerate time to market
  • Reduce development costs
  • Reduce project risk of internally-developed LTE applications

Product deliverables consist of C source software, documentation, training, Trillium XML Test Architecture (XTA), a warranty, and technical support.
