Abstract :
The JTRS software communications architecture (SCA) provides important benefits in military satellite communications programs by allowing a reconfigurable MILSATCOM terminal to support multiple waveforms. Special treatment of the SCA is often required, however, in order to support the multiple user channel and high-bandwidth nature of advanced MILSATCOM waveforms. Such waveforms demand hardware providing a high degree of parallelism with low-latency connections between processing elements. This paper presents techniques for mapping the SCA onto such hardware in a manner that maintains the benefits of SCA while providing the required performance to support advanced waveforms.
