Ever increasing demand for high data rate wireless transmissions with high spectral efficiency leads to utilization of communication systems with multiple transmit and receive antennas. In addition, excellent error-rate performance can be achieved with iterative receiver structure composed of inner detection and outer decoding. In this work we design ...

Processors for mobile handsets in 3G cellular systems require: high speed, flexibility and low power dissipation. While computationally efficient, ASIC processors are often not flexible enough to support necessary variations of implemented algorithms. On the other hand, programmable DSP processors are not optimized for a specific application and often ...
