Abstract

Cognitive Radio has been proposed as a promising technology for solving today’s spectrum scarcity problem by means of dynamic spectrum access. The MPSoC reconfigurable platform is proposed as an enabling technology for Cognitive Radio. In this paper, we propose a design methodology based on task transaction level interface for the design of Cognitive Radio baseband on an MPSoC reconfigurable platform. The reconfiguration of a novel low complexity FFT for OFDM based Cognitive Radio is used as a design case to show the effectiveness of the methodology for modelling the dynamic behavior of Cognitive Radio and facilitating the platform implementation.
