The internet of things (IoT) will rely on the ability to place sensors anywhere they are needed. The sensors could be embedded in bridges, scattered across the fields of farms or monitoring traffic from streetlights. Because these sensors will be distributed so widely, there will be many situations where the most efficient way for a […]
Finding The Best Tradeoff For Flexibility Versus Power
One of the challenges when designing System on Chips (SoC) for wireless applications is optimizing hardware/software partitioning for best flexibility versus power tradeoff. An optimal partitioning is generally easy to achieve for established standards such as 2G, 3G and LTE. However, for standards which are not yet finalized or are still evolving such as 4.5G, […]
