3G Long Term Evolution Baseband Processing with Application-Specific Processors

The Evolution of Long-term Care Programs; Comment on “Financing Long-term Care: Lessons From Japan”

The need for long-term care (LTC) represents a “new social risk,” one that overlaps with and complements systems of care that pre-date such programs, complicating LTC program design. This commentary expands on Ikegami’s discussion of how these structural factors must be accommodated, as well as historical and cultural factors that influence public expectations of such a...

Design of programmable multi-standard baseband processors

A Reconfigurable Baseband for 2.5g/3g and Beyond

We describe a reconfigurable baseband platform capable of processing WCDMA FDD 2Mbps, 802.11b, GPS, and GSM/GPRS communications systems in real-time without requiring special purpose hardware accelerators. In addition, the processor may also perform multimedia functions and Java acceleration without special purpose hardware. Processing is performed completely in software and executes in real-ti...

ACT: A Cluster Co-Processor for 3G Baseband Wireless

— Architectures for wireless systems have traditionally been designed to meet real-time requirements, t on a limited die area, and operate within a low power budget. These conditions are usually met by implementing compute-intensive operations in an application speci c integrated circuit (ASIC). ASIC design is both expensive and time consuming. ASICs also suffer in that even minor evolutionary ...
