A System-Level Architecture Model

For the LTE physical layer to be properly prototyped, the target hardware architectures need to be specified at system-level, using a simple model focusing on architectural limitations. The System-Level Architecture Model (S-LAM), which enables such specifications. Sections 5.2.4 and 5.3 explain how to compute routes between operators from an S-LAM specification and Sect. 5.4 shows how transfers on these routes are simulated. Finally, the role of the S-LAM model in the rapid prototyping process.
