Abstract

In addition to the high performance requirements inherent to multimedia processings or to W-CDMA, future generation mobile telecommunications brings new constraints to the semiconductor design world. In fact, to support these processings, a system will have to be very flexible, in order to support the various algorithms allowed by the norm and the addition of new services, while keeping an energy consumption level compatible with the portability notion of this system. In order to associate high performances and low energy consumption in a flexible system, we developed a dynamically reconfigurable architecture called DART. The aim of this paper is to present this architecture and to estimate its level of performance and its adequacy with future generation mobile telecommunication systems.
