چکیده
This paper describes a Sandbridge Sandblaster system implementation including both hardware and software elements for a WiMax 802.16e system. The system is implemented on the fully functional multithreaded Sandblaster multiprocessor SB3010 SoC chip. The entire communication protocol, physical layer and MAC, has been implemented in software using pure ANSI C programming language and it executes in real time. In this paper, we also present a radio propagation analysis specific to the Samos island at the workshop location, and the DSP execution performance.

متن کاملReduced Complexity Software Receivers for TD-SCDMA Downlink
Evolving 3G standards such as TD-SCDMA use multi-user detection (MUD) at the base station to enhance the link bugdet in the uplink. Several sub-optimal block-based techniques have been proposed for detecting the user signals in multipath. These methods have been prohibitively expensive for implementation at the mobile. In this paper, we examine some of the most promising algorithms and consider...

متن کاملSoftware Rake Receiver Enhanced Gps System
Acceleration of semiconductor technologies has enabled incorporation of GPS receivers in small inexpensive hand held battery operated devices. As the size of chipsets for different communication protocols diminishes in size, building multi-protocol communication systems including GPS receivers has become not only attractive but also possible. A limitation of current approaches requires the Base...
