The next generation form factor M.2 module family is a natural transition from the PCI Express Mini Card and Half Mini Card to a smaller form factor size. The M.2 Card Type 3042 offers single sided component mounting, 75 pins (8 dedicated for key), in a compact size (30 mm x 42 mm). A range of 2G/3G/4G (LTE) M.2 modules supporting multiple operating systems and unique features in the WWAN Card Type 3042 form factor are available.  The document will cover the features of the M.2 modules presently available.

This problem will increase further as overlapping bands continue to be rolledout; WIFI, BT, WWAN will all use overlapping band from 2300 MHz to 2600 MHz.In-Device Coexistence is a feature which improves the user experience and maximizes throughput and Quality of Service of connectivity systems (WLAN, BT and GNSS) when these radios are simultaneously running with the WWAN M.2 LTE modem.A diagram of the In-Device Coexistence architecture is shown in Figure 6.ApplicationProcessorappscoexistence interfaceConnectivity Chip (WLAN/BT/GNSS)NRTCoexistence interfaceRTCoexistence interfaceX-GOLD™ 716appscoexistence interfaceNRTCoexistence interfaceRTCoexistence interfaceCPUNRTcoexistence controllerLTE L1RTcoexistence controllerMessage –based I/F)IDC_CwsPriorityNRT Apps Coex I/FMessage –based I/F)NRT Coex I/FIDC_LteFrameSyncIDC_LteDtxEnvFigure 9 In-Device Coexistence ArchitectureSeamless Co-runningIn-Device-Coexistence primarily aims at avoiding interference between radio systems to allow seamless co-running where LTE and WLAN/BT/GNSS ensuring their maximum throughput and performance. To do so, a Non Real Time (NRT) coexistence controller is implemented on the ARM™ CPU. The NRT coexistence controller centralizes LTE, WLAN, BT and GNSS information and performs interference avoidance mechanisms, selectinginterference-safe frequency configurations whenever possible. The NRT coexistence controller is also in charge of enabling some Real Time (RT) coexistence mechanisms when

The RT coexistence controller is in control of the RT coexistence interface, which is exposed to the connectivity chip. The RT coexistence controller exploits real time information received from the LTE Layer-1 subsystem and from the connectivity chip to coordinate LTE and connectivity “in the air” activities. The coordination function protects LTE traffic while optimizing the throughput and availability of WLAN/BT/GNSS. When operating in this mode, the connectivity systems have reduced capability since they access the medium when LTE is inactive, or when their respective operations do not impact each other significantly.The Non Real-Time mechanism implements a messaging based interface, formatted as AT commands that are passed to the AP host over the IPC interface (USB). A simple piece of SW residing on the AP host will tunnel the Non Real-Time messages between the BT/WLAN device and M.2 module, translate AT commands to/from the BT/WLAN driver commands, and maintain the states of the BT/ WLAN and M.2 LTE modem. The host software will also be responsible for initializing the Real-Time mechanism.The Real-Time mechanism consists of 3 GPIO signals which allow the synchronization of multiple TX and RX events. The signals to support real Time coexistence are listed in Table 18.If the coexistence signals are not used by the host system, they should not beconnected.Table 18 Coexistence – Hardware Synchronization SignalsSignalNameDescription Pin Direction(WWAN)Voltage LevelCOEX3 IDC_LteDtxEnv - Synchronous signal indicating LTE UL gap.

Captured trace data includes standard 3GPP IPC messages, print statements inserted by developers in the code, error messages, and core dump (crash) information. The actual decoding of the trace data is done by pluggable decoder libraries, DLL’s and scripts, which are specific to the version of the mobile station software from which the trace is captured.The STT application has a GUI (Graphical User Interface) which provides an easy to use graphical interface to view, search and analyze trace data. It supports advanced message filtering runs on all Microsoft Windows® platforms.STT will become the only tool for trace analysis in the future, the legacy trace tools, Mobile Analyser and Artemis, will be continue to be supported for the 2G/3G WWAN M.2 HSPA+ module. XMMCalTool is a utility program that can be used for RF calibration.

OEMvendors routinely offer multiple hardware configurations for the same base model, withdifferent processor speed, drive type, or display type, etc. Each configuration has adifferent Radio Frequency emission profile with the possibility of introducing newinterference sources to a modem module.The Noise Profiling Tool will measure, record down & plot graph of the RF noise levelpresent on each RX channel. This SW tool will switch on receiver port and sweep allapplicable RX channels on each band and each technology (WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, andGLONASS). This will allow OEM vendors to quickly know the noise jamming profile to themodem module plugged in their devices.
