Abstract :
Mobile wireless terminals tend to become multi-mode wireless communication devices. Furthermore, these devices need to be adaptive as they can adapt to changing environmental conditions as well as changing user demands. We foresee a heterogeneous reconfigurable system-on-chip (SoC) as the key-technology for future wireless communication systems. The SoC contains processing elements of different granularities. The implementation of a W-CDMA receiver with true dynamic reconfiguration capabilities in heterogeneous reconfigurable hardware is described.
