Design techniques of 5G mobile devices in the dark silicon era

Abstract

In the internet of things age, future communication technologies should provide the necessary bandwidth and latency for the connection of billion devices and the development of ubiquitous applications to improve the quality of life. The design of the prospected mobile communication system needs wide skills in wireless communication, analog circuit design, embedded system, microwave technology, and so forth. System level analyses, design space exploration, performance tradeoffs are some key steps that enable the design of low-cost, energy efficient, ubiquitous and flexible transceiver. This chapter provides comprehensive design techniques for 5G mobile communication in the dark silicon era and using More than Moore technology (MtM).
