Abstract
The increasing demand for multimodal wireless communication is driving designers towards software defined radio (SDR). Therefore, new high performance reconfigurable platforms for baseband digital signal processing are required. Due to their flexibility, with low reconfiguration overhead, performance and energy efficiency, coarse grain reconfigurable arrays (CGRAs) are good candidates to fulfil this need. ADRES is a CGRA that combines a VLIW processor with a reconfigurable coarse-grain array. In this paper, we analyze the mapping on ADRES of one of the most demanding wireless OFDM DSP algorithms: the space division multiplexing (SDM) receiver. The latter will probably be mandatory in the next WLAN generation (802.11n). We also compare the obtained results with a mapping onto a VLIW processor, showing a gain of 5 in performance and a factor 1.75 in power efficiency.
