  • Abstract
    This paper presents the block processing engine (BPE), a programmable architecture specifically suited for high-throughput wireless communications. Thanks to a high degree of parallelism and a consistent use of pipelined processing, the BPE can satisfy the stringent real-time constraints imposed by emerging technologies. Its efficiency has been proven through the implementation of a dual standard frequency domain equalizer supporting 3GPP HSDPA and IEEE 802.11a.
