Query: On Memory Accelerated Signal Processing within Software Defined Radios   Since J. Mitola's work in 1992, Software Defined Radios (SDRs) have been
quite a hot topic in wireless systems research. Though many notable
achievements were reported in the field, the scarcity of computational power on
general purpose CPUs has always constrained their wide adoption in production
environments. If conveniently applied within an SDR context, classical concepts
known in computer science as space/time tradeoffs can be extremely helpful when
trying to mitigate this problem. Inspired by and building on those concepts,
this paper presents a novel SDR implementation technique which we call Memory
Acceleration (MA) that makes extensive use of the memory resources available on
a general purpose computing system, in order to accelerate signal computation.
MA can provide substantial acceleration factors when applied to conventional
SDRs without reducing their peculiar flexibility. As a practical proof of this,
an example of MA applied in the real world to the ETSI DVB-T Viterbi decoder is
provided. Actually MA is shown able to provide, when applied to such Viterbi
decoder, an acceleration factor of 10.4x, with no impact on error correction
performances of the decoder and by making no use of any other typical
performance enhancement techniques such as low level (Assembler) programming or
parallel computation, which though remain compatible with MA. Opportunity for
extending the MA approach to the entire radio system, thus implementing what we
call a Memory-Based Software Defined Radio (MB-SDR) is finally considered and
discussed.
