FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE the Linley Group Says Mobile Processor Market Grew 60 Percent in 2011 Anticipated Growth in “Feature FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Linley Group Says Mobile Processor Market Grew 60 Percent in 2011 Anticipated Growth in “Feature Phones” Will Increase Demand for Integrated Processors MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – September 11, 2012 – Due to strong growth in the mobile device market, The Linley Group, the industry's leading source for independent technology analysis of semiconductors for networking, communications, mobile, and wireless applications, estimates that the mobile processor market grew more than 60 percent in 2011. The estimate is included as part of the analyst firm’s latest report released today, “A Guide to Mobile Processors, Fourth Edition,” which details technical and market trends driving mobile processors. The report covers application processors and integrated processors targeted for use in mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets and e-readers. The analyst firm expects demand for integrated processors – those that combine an application processor with a cellular baseband – to increase due to growth in low-end and midrange smartphones. “After a dip in demand for integrated processors, we expect growth to resume next year, with 73 percent of smartphones using an integrated processor by 2016,” said Linley Gwennap, president and principal analyst with The Linley Group. “This is due to increased demand for low-end and midrange phones, as opposed to high-end smartphones that typically rely on standalone application processors.” The new report also details the rise in 3D graphics performance to enable better web browsing and gaming. The need for sophisticated 3D graphics drives changes in overall mobile processor design, with many chips now integrating high-performance CPU cores, along with graphics processing units (GPUs) and increased memory bandwidth. Competition is also heating up in the core space as ARM faces increased competition from Intel and Qualcomm. Providing a uniquely thorough analysis of the mobile processor market, the report begins with chapters of background information relating to mobile technology and processors. It discusses the features and trends that impact CPU architecture, and also provides a quantitative analysis that includes market share by vendor. It then dedicates chapters to the leading vendors in the space including Broadcom, Freescale, Intel, Marvell, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Samsung, ST-Ericsson, and Texas Instruments. Subsequent chapters cover smaller vendors, including HiSilicon, MediaTek, Renesas Mobile, Rockchip, and ZiiLabs,, and analyze internal processor solutions from Apple, LG and Nokia. Availability “A Guide to Mobile Processors, Fourth Edition” is currently available directly from The Linley Group.

With UPWM, only a lower than half the sampling rate. However, this will clearly digital light emitting diode (LED) driver is needed to send signals lead to light flickering due to the response time of the human using a higher order modulation. Similar to other undersample- eye. Therefore, a number of techniques have been proposed to based modulation schemes for OCC, a dedicated preamble is support non-flickering OCC using low speed cameras (e.g., ≤ required to assist the receiver to indicate the phase error 60 fps). More precisely, there are three main modulation introduced during the undersampling process, and to compensate categories for LFR-based OCC using both global shutter (GS) for nonlinear distortion caused by the in-built gamma correction and rolling shutter (RS) digital cameras: i) display-based [3], ii) function of the camera.
