In this paper we propose to study a hardware architecture able to give the complexity requirements of a software defined radio transceiver for the Global Mobile Broadband System (GMBS), to be implemented in the framework of the SUITED project.

Abstract
In this paper we propose to study a hardware architecture able to give the complexity requirements of a software defined radio transceiver for the Global Mobile Broadband System (GMBS), to be implemented in the framework of the SUITED project. In particular, the GMBS terminal will interact with terrestrial standards such as UMTS, IEEE 802.11 and GPRS. The Software Radio approach is carried on by the adoption of reconfigurable devices such as DSP and FPGA for the implementation of the transmission/reception algorithms. A cost function will be defined, to evaluate the performance of the implemented algorithms and to optimise the partitioning between DSP and ASIC devices.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
