Hardware-accelerated design space exploration framework for communication systems

Implementation aspects for interference alignment

“…As witnessed in the evolution of MIMO technology, soon before and even long after the market hit, ASIC prototypes were established in the literature for MIMO point-to-point systems [29]. A hybrid design where hardware accelerated approach and highlevel tools, e.g., LabVIEW, are combined is an implication [18] that IA implementation is on its path to hit the market. At this point, experts on embedded designs can collaborate with IA experts that will lead ASIC implementations of IA [7].…”

“…There are many research groups that have been developing IA on generic platforms [1]- [17]. To the best of our knowledge, there is only one research group that has developed on a hybrid platform [18], and none on the application specific platform. In this paper, we review the experimental IA evaluations in the literature, include important aspects from well-known prototyping principles in the picture, and give comparative discussion with the state-of-art wireless communications testbeds.…”

Interference Alignment for UWB-MIMO Communication Systems

“…MATLAB/Simulink) and optimized hardware blocks [17]. Its application domain ranges from the design, optimization and verification of efficient and optimized signal processing blocks for computationally demanding next-generation wireless communication systems to system characterization and DSE.…”
