Management of reconfigurable multi-standards ASIP-based receiver

Overview & Synopsis

The emergence of multiple wireless standards is introducing the need of flexible platforms which are able to self-adapt to various environments depending on the application requirements. Our work lies in the domain of self-adaptive heterogeneous multiprocessor architectures. In this paper, we present our ideas about the management of an ASIP-based multi-standards iterative receiver, which includes the support for turbo-decoding. In this context, the management of a multi-standards receiver provides the services for the self-adaptation mechanisms based on a collect and an analysis of information, a decision making process and a fast reconfiguration of the platform.
