Abstract
In this paper we discuss a multi-threaded baseband Processor capable of executing all physical layer processing of high data rate communications systems completely in software. We discuss the enabling technology for a software defined radio approach and present results for GPRS. 802.11b, and 2Mbps WCDMA. All of these protocols can be executed in real-time on the SB9600 chip using the Sandblaster core.
