Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods which include wireless devices and systems with examples of configuration modes for baseband units (BBU) and remote radio heads (RRH). For example, a computing system including a BBU and a RRH may receive a configuration mode selection including information indicative of a configuration mode for respective processing units of the BBU and the RRH. The computing system may allocate the respective processing units to perform wireless processing stages associated with a wireless protocol. The BBU and/or the RRH may generate an output data stream based on the mixing of coefficient data with input data at the BBU and/or the RRH. Examples of systems and methods described herein may facilitate the processing of data for 5G (e.g., New Radio (NR)) wireless communications in a power-efficient and time-efficient manner.

Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods which include an apparatus comprising a memory array including a plurality of memory cells and a memory controller coupled to the memory array. The memory controller comprises a memory mapper configured to configure a memory map on the basis of a memory command associated with a memory access operation. The memory map comprises a specific sequence of memory access instructions to access at least one memory cell of the memory array. For example, the specific sequence of memory access instructions for a diagonal memory command comprises a sequence of memory access instructions that each access a memory cell along a diagonal of the memory array.

Abstract: Examples described herein include methods, devices, and systems which may implement different processing stages for wireless communication in processing units. Such data processing may include a source data processing stage, a baseband processing stage, a digital front-end processing stage, and a radio frequency (RF) processing stage. Data may be received from a sensor of device and then processed in the stages to generate output data for transmission. Processing the data in the various stages may occur during an active time period of a discontinuous operating mode. During the active time period, a reconfigurable hardware platform may allocate all or a portion of the processing units to implement the processing stages. Examples of systems and methods described herein may facilitate the processing of data for 5G (e.g., New Radio (NR)) wireless communications in a power-efficient and time-efficient manner.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods are disclosed for an FPGA architecture that may improve processing speed and efficiency in processing less complex operands. Some applications may utilize operands that are less complex, such as operands that are 1, 2, or 4 bits, for example. In some examples, the DSP architecture may skip or avoid processing all received operands or may process a common operand more frequently than other operands. An example apparatus may include configurable logic blocks including DSP slices and an interconnected coupling the configurable logic blocks. An operand register of a DSP slice may include an operand input that is coupled to an output of that DSP slice.

Abstract: Examples described herein include apparatuses and methods for full duplex device-to-device cooperative communication. Example systems described herein may include self-interference noise calculators. The output of a self-interference noise calculator may be used to compensate for the interference experienced due to signals transmitted by another antenna of the same wireless device or system. In implementing such a self-interference noise calculator, a selected wireless relaying device or wireless destination device may operate in a full-duplex mode, such that relayed messages may be transmitted as well as information from other sources or destinations during a common time period (e.g., symbol, slot, subframe, etc.).

Abstract: Examples described herein include systems and methods which include wireless devices and systems with examples of mixing input data with coefficient data. For example, a computing system with processing units may mix the input data for a transmission in a radio frequency (RF) wireless domain with the coefficient data to generate output data that is representative of the transmission being processed according to the wireless protocol in the RF wireless domain. A computing device may be trained to generate coefficient data based on the operations of a wireless transceiver such that mixing input data using the coefficient data generates an approximation of the output data, as if it were processed by the wireless transceiver. Examples of systems and methods described herein may facilitate the processing of data for 5G wireless communications in a power-efficient and time-efficient manner.
