This paper discusses the implementation of
modulation chains for multi-standard communications on
a dynamically and partially reconfigurable heterogeneous
platform. Implementation results highlight the benefit of
considering a DSP/FPGA platform instead of a multi-DSP
platform since the FPGA supports efficiently intensive
computation components, which reduces the DSP load.
Furthermore, partial dynamic reconfiguration increases
the overall performance as compared to total dynamic
reconfiguration since there is 45% of bitstream size
reduction, which leads to a 45% decrease of the whole
reconfiguration time. The implementation of modulation
chains for multi-standard communications proves the
availability of new technology to support efficiently
Software Defined Radio.
