Abstract

New trends in wireless communication systems require multi-standard coexistence and high data rates. In order to meet these requirements, we propose a reconfigurable baseband platform with coarse grained heterogeneous execution units and flexible interconnections, which are controlled by configuration information. In addition, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in three sample implementations, namely RFID, WLAN OFDM and MIMO-OFDM systems. The performance results reveal that this platform is flexible enough to handle various baseband operations with good efficiency and at reasonable resource cost.
