Abstract
The present invention contemplates applying a form of emulation to the domain of communications baseband stack design, in which baseband stack resource requirements, capabilities and behaviour are modelled and described. and the resultant description input to software comprising a virtual machine layer optimised for a communications DSP in order to generate an emulation of the baseband stack. The virtual machine layer is not custom written for a specific task but is instead pre-fabricated as a general purpose layer designed to de-couple low MIPS control code from having to interface directly with high MIPS baseband processing algorithms.
Claims40
A computer-implemented method of designing, modelling or fabricating a communications baseband stack, comprising the steps of:
- (a) creating a description of one or more of the following parameters of the baseband stack:
- (i) resource requirements;
- (ii) capabilities;
- (iii) behaviour;
- and
- (b) using that description as an input to software comprising a virtual machine layer optimised for a communications DSP in order to generate an emulation of the baseband stack to be designed, modelled or fabricated., in which the virtual machine layer has not been custom written for a specific task but is instead pre-fabricated as a general purpose layer designed to de-couple low MIPS control code from having to interface directly with high MIPS baseband processing algorithms.
