Summary:One of the most compelling issues in the design of wireless
communication components is to keep power dissipation between bounds.
While low-power solutions are readily achieved in an
application-specific approach, doing so in a programmable environment is
a substantially harder problem. This paper presents an approach to
low-power programmable DSP that is based on the dynamic reconfiguration
of hardware modules. This technique has shown to yield at least an order
of magnitude of power reduction compared to traditional
instruction-based engines for problems in the area of wireless
communication
