Abstract:
The increasingly diverse wireless communication ecosystem has given rise to flexible, programmable plat- forms for wireless baseband processing. This industry case study presents advance development results of a fully pro- grammable, flexible floating-point DSP architecture for uplink (UL) multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) baseband process- ing with runtime-adaptive precision. By tuning the floating-point precision to the application needs, energy consumption can be reduced by up to 23 % per task.
