EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing

  Special Issue on
  DSP-Enabled Radio

Digital signal processing has experienced a tremendous growth
in order to bring applications such as 2G and 3G mobile
communications and wireless LAN to mass markets. The advance
in DAC and ADC technology to sampling rates of around 100 MHz
at high bit resolution has allowed DSP to be employed for
versatile transmission and receiver tasks, which are most
pronounced in programmable software radios characterised by
their reconfigurability for multiband and/or multimode
operations in potentially mobile devices.

In the past five years, this research area has witnessed a
substantial increase in activity, with a number of events and
special issues dedicated to the fast-expanding topic of
software-defined radios. However, as the foundations advance,
with sampling rates reaching the GHz range with good multibit
resolution over the next few years and smart antennas being
incorporated into transceiver systems, the challenges for
both the design and implementation of DSP algorithms in
programmable radio systems advance as well.

Therefore, this special issue aims to present an overview
of current research into DSP design, algorithms, and
methods that may shape the development of future radio
systems and wireless networks. Prospective papers should be
unpublished and present novel contributions either in terms
of fundamental research or from an applications perspective.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

 o Hardware/software architectures
 o DSP algorithms and architectures
 o Digital front-end reconfiguration
 o Baseband DSP reconfiguration
 o Simulation and design software
 o Integrated development environments
 o Rapid prototyping
 o Synchronisation, carrier recovery, and equalisation
 o Multi antenna systems and MIMO

Authors should follow the EURASIP JASP manuscript format
described at the journal site http://asp.hindawi.com/.
