Cognitive Radio Design on an MPSoC Reconfigurable Platform

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 modelling the dynamic behavior of Cognitive Radio and facilitating the platform implementation
