From Algorithms to Hardware Architectures
This book uses digital radios as a challenging design example, generalized to bridge a typical gap between designers who work on algorithms and those who work to implement those algorithms on silicon. The author shows how such a complex system can be moved from high-level characterization to a form that is ready for hardware implementation. Along the way, readers learn a lot about how algorithm designers can benefit from knowing the hardware they target and how hardware designers can benefit from a familiarity with the algorithm. The book shows how a high-level description of an algorithm can be migrated to a fixed-point block diagram with a well-defined cycle accurate architecture and a fully documented controller. This can significantly reduce the length of the hardware design cycle and can improve its outcomes. Ultimately, the book presents an explicit design flow that bridges the gap between algorithm design and hardware design.Provides a guide to basebandradio design for Wi-Fi and cellular systems, from an implementation-focused, perspective;Explains how arithmetic is moved to hardware and what the cost of each operation is in terms of delay, area and power;Enables strategic architectural decisions based on the algorithm, available processing units and design requirements.

DSP processors
DSPs (Digital Signal Processors) are processors specifically designed for digital signal processing. The diversity of applications has enabled these devices to evolve considerably since they first appeared in the 1980s. The best-known example is the TMS32010 fixed-point DSP from Texas Instruments, the world market leader in this type of technology. In fact, there are two main families of this type of processor: fixed-point DSPs using integer arithmetic, and floating-point DSPs operating in floating-point arithmetic. The latter are the fastest and most accurate, but also the most expensive. In this book, we present the general characteristics found in most DSPs, the so-called 'conventional' architecture found in first-generation DSPs and in the vast majority of today's processors, the general history tracing the evolution of these different architectures up to the most recent, the place occupied by DSPs relative to other computing structures and, finally, the DSP software development tool.

VLC Communication in Smart Cities
Urban mobility plays an important role in emerging smart cities, addressing issues such as congestion, pollution and especially accident reduction. The use of new technologies such as VLC (Visible Light Communication) could contribute to different aspects of infrastructure-to-vehicle (I2V) communication such as traffic lights and streetlights with the potential to become smart. One of the major challenges related to VLC rests on flickering, interference and flickering. This paper seeks to present a new VLC communication technique to enhance and make smart the current traffic lights and poles by enabling them to transmit information to vehicles using the existing structures. For this, a prototype using microcontrollers and LEDs was developed. Results obtained demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed solution for I2V communication in smart cities.
