The diversity of applications and typically scarce node resources set very tight constraints to Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). It is not possible to fulfill all requirements with...
As technology scales, more sophisticated fabrication processes cause variations in many different parameters in the device. These variations could severely affect the performance ...
—The operand-width specifications in fixed-point hardware implementations of turbo code decoders is an important design issue, since this governs the trade-off between the deco...
