A Reconfigurable Architecture for Wireless Communication Systems

New wireless communication standards are introduced even before the previous standards are fully utilized. The increasing number of wireless communication standards creates new demands for their platform architectures. In addition to high data rate, low cost and low power consumption requirements for these systems, they need to be flexible enough to support multiple standards in a multimode radio system. In this paper, we introduce a new version of MorphoSys, a reconfigurable architecture which is designed for wireless communication systems. Experimental results show that for the wireless systems it provides a performance close to ASICs while is flexible enough to support changes in the current standards
