A Literature Review on Performance and Power of Wireless Communication Systems based on FPGA Systems

This paper provides a literature review to evaluate the performance characteristics and power consumptions characteristics of wireless communication systems which are implemented in FPGA (Field programmable gate array). With growing design complexities analysis of performance and power becomes a critical issue. The paper reviews two methodologies of high level system modeling and low level characterization steps. It has been also analyzed that power estimation results can easily be influenced by taking time activity of components into consideration. The paper also aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of the system by using suggested methodologies throughout various domain particular use cases which emphasis on base band processing of hardware in domain of wireless communication. In comparison with existing low level vender tools of FPGA speed up factor can be obtained and it is possible to achieve highest relative error of less than 5%.
