Description
Summary:In this paper, we present an un-timed Catapult C/C++ based methodology that integrates key technologies for high-level VLSI modelling of 3G/4G wireless systems to enable extensive time/area tradeoff study. Case study is given to explore the VLSI design space for various computational intensive algorithms in both MIMO-CDMA and MIMO-OFDM systems. The prototyping experience demonstrates significantly improved architecture efficiency and productivity
