Emulation of Multiple EDGE Physical Layers Using a Reconfigurable Radio Platform
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel architecture for the testing of enhanced data rates for GSM evolution (EDGE) networks is proposed, in which a reconfigurable radio platform is used to implement up to 16 EDGE physical layers in a RF baseband module (RFBBM). When the RFBBM is used in conjunction with a line server unit (LSU), a complete mobile station emulator (MSE) is formed. In this paper, the implementation and interfacing of the constituent parts in the reconfigurable RFBBM are described.

Using Reconfigurable Supercomputers and C-to-Hardware Synthesis for CNN Emulation
The complexity of hardware design methodologies represents a significant difficulty for non hardware focused scientists working on CNN-based applications. An emerging generation of Electronic System Level (ESL) design tools is been developed, which allow software-hardware codesign and partitioning of complex algorithms from High Level Language (HLL) descriptions. These tools, together with High...

Traditional wireless sensor node designs follow a common architectural paradigm that connects a low-power integrated radio transceiver chip to a microcontroller. This approach facilitated research on communication protocols that focused on the media access control layer and above, but the closed architecture of radio chips and the limited performance of microcontrollers prevented experimentatio...
