Exploring the Capabilities of Reconfigurable Hardware for OFDM-Based Wlans

چکیده
In this paper, the potential of reconfigurable hardware in wireless communication systems is evaluated. As most of the published works aim at the usage of reconfigurable architectures as a universal platform for different standards, the optimization capabilities of reconfiguration techniques for hardware modules within one standard are often not considered. This work focuses on the hardware optimization within one transmission scheme, namely OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing). By making use of special characteristics of packet-based WLANs and standard specifications, functional blocks of an OFDM receiver can be mapped on the same hardware. Even performance enhancements can be achieved without any additional hardware.

On Feasibility of Adaptive Level Hardware Evolution for Emergent Fault Tolerant Communication
A permanent physical fault in communication lines usually leads to a failure. The feasibility of evolution of a self organized communication is studied in this paper to defeat this problem. In this case a communication protocol may emerge between blocks and also can adapt itself to environmental changes like physical faults and defects. In spite of faults, blocks may continue to function since ...

متن کاملMatched Filter Based Spectrum Sensing on Cognitive Radio for OFDM WLANs
Abstract For the unlicensed users to use the licensed spectrum, unused frequency bands called white spaces need to be detected. Cognitive radio does this task by dynamic spectrum access. This requires intelligent spectrum sensing techniques. In this paper such unused spectrum for OFDM WLAN (IEEE 802.11a) is predicted by exploring the signals presence in minimum time using matched filter based d...

Future mobile terminals become multimode communication systems. In order to handle different standards, we propose to perform baseband processing in heterogeneous reconfigurable hardware. OFDM is one of the techniques that exists in multimode communication systems. As an example, we present the results of implementing an HiperLAN/2 receiver in reconfigurable hardware. The receiver can be implem...
متن کاملA Reconfigurable Spectrally Efficient FDM Baseband Modulator
Spectrally Efficient FDM (SEFDM) systems employ non-orthogonal overlapped carriers to improve spectral efficiency for future communication systems. One of the challenges for SEFDM systems is to demonstrate efficient hardware implementations for transmitters and receivers. This paper presents the first VLSI digital baseband transmitter architecture for SEFDM. The transmitter is reconfigurable be...
