Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose an architecture of dynamically reconfigurable hardware for protocol processing (DRHPP) for a communications system on a chip (SoC) in access networks to provide flexibility with high area efficiency. The DNPP enables the modification and addition of various commumications-protocol-processing functions. Our architecture consists of three types of cells. The optimized number of these types of cells for the intended protocol processing can be implemented for increasing cell-utilization efficiency, which can decrease the total area. Additionally, the best granularity for the cell also contributes to a decrease of the total area. We implemented a protocol-processing circuit using DRHPP for protocol-frame parser processing. Implementation results show the proposed architecture improves flexibility with only a 33% area penalty in comparison with a hard-wired protocol-processing circuit.
