Scalable 5G MPSoC architecture
Gerhard Paul Fettweis, Emil Matúš · 2017
The huge diversity of 5G application requirements and associated modem protocols impose high demands on radio platforms in terms of scalable latency, reliability, and computation performance. In this paper, we scope a scalable MPSoC solution that can handle a plurality of parallel sliced links. It has a core manager and a network-on-chip manager to schedule, prioritize, as well as supervise the current computations. This includes the required reliability control. Moreover, keeping the locality of data and programs under control to adhere to the required latency and low-energy constraints. Ideas sketched in this paper can form the basis to derive solutions that enable efficient low-power realizations.
