Ambient Intelligence has acquired great importance in recent years and requires the development of new innovative solutions. This paper presents a novel architecture which integrat...
Since the appearance in 1993, first approaching the Shannon limit, the Turbo Codes gave a new direction for the channel encoding field, especially since they were adopted for mult...
In collaboration architectures, a computer must perform both processing and transmission tasks. Intuitively, it seems that these independent tasks should be executed in concurrent ...
Reed Solomon (RS) codes are used in a variety of (wireless) communication systems. Although commonly implemented in dedicated hardware, this paper explores the mapping of high-thr...
In this paper, we present an architecture exploration methodology for low-end embedded systems where the reduction of cost is a primary design concern. The architecture exploratio...
