Zhang Q., Kokkeler A.B.J., Smit G.J.M. Cognitive Radio Design on an MPSoC Reconfigurable Platform

Mobile Networks and Applications. Special Issue on Cognitive Radio Oriented Wireless Networks and Communications. Vol.13 No.5 2008 October, pp. 424-430.Cognitive Radio has been proposed as a promising technology for solving today’s spectrum scarcity problem by means of dynamic spectrum access. The multiprocessor system-on-chip (MPSoC) reconfigurable platform is proposed as an enabling technology for cognitive radio. In this paper, we propose a design methodology based on task transaction level interface for the design of cognitive radio baseband on an MPSoC reconfigurable platform. The reconfiguration of a novel, low-complexity fast Fourier transform for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing based Cognitive Radio is used as a design case to show the effectiveness of the methodology for modeling the dynamic behavior of Cognitive Radio and facilitating the platform implementation.
