System-level Test and Validation of Hardware/Software Systems (Springer Series in Advanced Microelectronics)

Springer, 2005

New manufacturing technologies have made possible the integration of entire systems on a single chip. This new design paradigm, termed system-on-chip (SOC), together with its associated manufacturing problems, represents a real challenge for designers.

SOC is also reshaping approaches to test and validation activities. These are beginning to...

Wireless Networks: Multiuser Detection in Cross-Layer Design (Information Technology: Transmission, Processing and Storage)

Springer, 2005

Cross-layer design seeks to enhance the capacity of wireless networks significantly through the joint optimization of multiple layers in the network, primarily the physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers. Although there are advantages of such design in wireline networks as well, this approach is particularly advantageous for wireless...
