HSDPA design space exploration and implementation guidance with Design-Trotter

This work addresses some of the implementation challenges for recent and future wireless communication systems. More specifically this paper describes a design methodology for design space exploration and implementation guidance and illustrates its practical usage and benefits by applying it to two sub-parts (i.e., the turbo-encoder and turbo-decoder) of the HSDPA technique. The implementation examples and results show how the proposed methodology based on our tool "design-trotter" can guide system designers in selecting and/or building the most appropriate architecture for their application.
