Recent advances in computer arithmetic offer interesting alternative solutions for low-power design. Depending on an assortment of factors that need to be considered, it is worth evaluating the logarithmic number system (LNS) or the residue number system (RNS) for hardware implementations of computationally intensive tasks. As such, the choice of arithmetic can lead to substantial power savings.

The need for mass-produced inexpensive wireless devices operating under strict energy constraints poses new challenges in the system design methodology. This paper presents a methodology for designing wireless nodes in which a low cost, reliable antenna is realized by printed circuit traces. We show how to combine the analysis from 2.5D and 3D EM simulators with the PCB design tools to create predictable nodes with printed antennas that meet stringent power and data transmission range goals. The presented approach is applied to the design of a IEEE802.15.4 wireless node deployed in several indoor environments. Copyright 2005 ACM.

Modification of Kohonen's self-organizing feature map algorithm and its dedicated parallel hardware implementation are the focus of this paper. This work is motivated by the need to implement a 5/spl times/5 neural network using digital standard cells and high level VLSI system design tools. The neural net considered is a two layered, feed forward architecture that learns relationships among unknown input data patterns. The prototype system consists of 25 processing units (neurons). Each processing unit operates at 10 MHz. Communication among processing units is accomplished using a broadcast bus. Performance of the system is estimated to be 110,000 iterations per second.< >

design and implementation of a residue-based adder/subtractor/multiplier arithmetic TinyChip for the moduli set (2/sup n/-1,2/sup n/,2/sup n/+1) is addressed in this paper. The unit realization adopts CMOS semi-custom VLSI design, using Octtools-5.0 with the standard cell MSU2-3 library. The implemented chip has the advantage of reduced delay time and hardware requirements. Thus, it can support real-time one and two dimensional signal processing applications. The design does not have dynamic range limitations due to the absence of memory, therefore, this implementation can be expanded for better reliability. Performance of the system is estimated to be 18 million residue arithmetic operations per second on 2 /spl mu/m process.

The problem of defining an appropriate measure of the degree of nonstationarity for stochastic processes that exhibit cyclostationarity is addressed. After discussing several candidate measures of degree of nonstationarity, one particularly promising measure is adopted. By decomposing this measure, several component measures are arrived at. Bounds on these measures are derived and their utility in applications involving signal detection and estimation is established. Examples are presented to illustrate the calculation of degrees of nonstationarity for several types of cyclostationary signals.

Brain-inspired high-dimensional (HD) computing represents and manipulates data using very long, random vectors with dimensionality in the thousands. This representation provides great robustness for various classification tasks where classifiers operate at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. Similarly, hyperdimensional modulation (HDM) leverages the robustness of complex-valued HD representations to reliably transmit information over a wireless channel, achieving a similar SNR gain compared to state-of-the-art codes. Here, we first propose methods to improve HDM in two ways: (1) reducing the complexity of encoding and decoding operations by generating, manipulating, and transmitting bipolar or integer vectors instead of complex vectors;(2) increasing the SNR gain by 0.2 dB using a new soft-feedback decoder;it can also increase the additive superposition capacity of HD vectors up to 1.7× in noise-free cases. Secondly, we propose to combine encoding/decoding aspects of communication with classification into a single framework by relying on multifaceted HD representations. This leads to a near-channel classification (NCC) approach that avoids transformations between different representations and the overhead of multiple layers of encoding/decoding, hence reducing latency and complexity of a wireless smart distributed system while providing robustness against noise and interference from other nodes. We provide a use-case for wearable hand gesture recognition with 5 classes from 64 EMG sensors, where the encoded vectors are transmitted to a remote node for either performing NCC, or reconstruction of the encoded data. In NCC mode, the original classification accuracy of 94% is maintained, even in the channel at SNR of 0 dB, by transmitting 10,000-bit vectors. We remove the redundancy by reducing the vector dimensionality to 2048-bit that still exhibits a graceful degradation: less than 6% accuracy loss is occurred in the channel at − 5 dB, and with the interferenc
