Taking advantage of the CDMA properties, this physical layer aims to provide service simultaneously to several users with different data rate needs. Orthogonal variable spreading factor (OVSF) codes are employed in order to support the simultaneous coexistence of different data rate users. In addition, the bit error rate (BER) performance of the system is analyzed for different combination techniques when single-user detection is employed in a frequency selective slow fading Rician channel. According to the results presented in this paper, this proposal is a promising option for WLANs.","PeriodicalId":384858,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Workshop onSignal Processing Systems, 2004.

Based on these two decision criteria, as well as different combinations of various motion estimation algorithms, four different modes are proposed to allow the computation resources to be varied dynamically between different power constraints. The proposed decision criteria also enable the maximization of quality under each power constraint by a quality-driven diversity-based search approach. According to our simulation results, the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the computation resources to 40%, 21%, and 3.73% with only 0.0036 dB, 0.01 dB, and 0.16 dB average quality degradation, respectively. As a result, the proposed algorithm is well-suited for video coding systems that desire a power-awareness feature.","PeriodicalId":384858,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Workshop onSignal Processing Systems, 2004.

In this paper, we propose combining the exploration of the memory organisation with the exploration of the communication network and highlight its importance compared to the independent local explorations. This combined exploration can provide gains of 30% in the overall energy consumption of both the memory and its interconnection network design methodologies.","PeriodicalId":384858,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Workshop onSignal Processing Systems, 2004.

The circuit has been particularized for the HIPERLAN/2 standard, but most of the work can be generalized to IEEE 802.11a/g standards. The system is composed of three main blocks (autocorrelator, CORDIC, and FFT processor) that are used in different time intervals to perform all the required operations. The autocorrelator is used for frame detection and carrier frequency offset estimation. The CORDIC is reused to estimate frequency offset, to compensate that frequency and to calculate the division in the channel estimation stage. Finally, the FFT/IFFT processor also uses its complex-number multiplier to perform the channel compensation of the received OFDM symbols. The whole IF transceiver fits in a low cost FPGA, an XC3S400-4 Spartan III device.","PeriodicalId":384858,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Workshop onSignal Processing Systems, 2004.

Thus, the design of power efficient modular adders is of great significance if RNS circuits are to be utilized in future DSP systems. We propose a new modular adder that is based on the ELM addition algorithm.

The proposed BLW compensator is purely implemented in a digital domain. To verify the performance of the proposed BLW compensator, we simulate a 100BASE-TX DSP submodule using the SPW/spl trade/ tool. The DSP submodule has been modeled by Verilog-HDL and synthesized using the 0.18 /spl mu/m SEC cell library. The measured BER is less than 10/sup -10/ when the transmitted data is received up to 150 m. The implemented DSP submodule operates at 142.7 MHz and consists of 128,528 gates.
