Application of the MOSART flow on the WiMAX (802.16e) PHY layer

Abstract

Current and emerging telecommunication standards require the fast and efficient design of large hardware/software systems that need to bring together diverse engineering skills. MOSART offers a solution to the problem of fast design of large systems by converting the current design cycle into the transformation of an executable reference specification to software optimized for execution on tailored multiprocessor platforms. ICOM has tested this approach using as test-bed a part of the PHY layer for the 802.16e (WiMAX) standard; a strategic roadmap system for INTRACOM. Use method and experimental results are reported for this exercise.
