DSP Challenges in Future Wireless Systems
R. Brodersen  (University of California, Berkeley, USA);  
 
 In the future, wireless communications will be extended to provide communications of all types, ranging from retrieval of data from low bandwidth sensors, up to the access of multimedia information from the internet. However, this vastly increased applicability of wireless access will require a significantly increased robustness and bandwidth efficiency of the wireless link. In addition, to provide ubiquitous access these links will have to perform over a wide range of environments, which will span short range interior connections to long range outdoor communications all of which are complicated by a wide variety and levels of interference. Critical to obtaining this range of capabilities will be the implementation of sophisticated algorithms and modulation schemes, which require the lowest possible energy. This will be facilitated by the scaling of integrated circuit technology which will allow orders of magnitude more processing, at orders of magnitude lower energy per operation over what is available today. To understand the opportunities, the future capabilities of VLSI technology will be presented as well as the future applications and their requirements. The challenge to the DSP community will be to match the vastly expanded computational capabilities with algorithms and architectures which meet the new demands of wireless applications.
