The telco industry is gradually shifting from using monolithic software packages deployed on custom hardware to using modular virtualized software functions deployed on cloudified data centers using commodity hardware. This transformation is referred to as Network Function Virtualization (NFV). The...

Carrier aggregation supports an increased total bandwidth, data rate and utilization of available fragmented spectrum, where the latter is a core component of next generation Wi-Fi and Cellular networks, including 5G. Wireless communications receivers with intra-band non-contiguous CA, employing conventional...

In this paper we present the Automatic Distribution System (ADS). ADS is a novel framework that enables quick development and deployment of 5G radio access networks. ADS automatically parallelize radio algorithms and distributes their execution among standard servers in order...

This work presents a parallel direct-conversion and double-conversion transceiver to solve the problems of crosstalk and LO pulling in the carrier aggregation scenario. An EVM of -34.9 dB is obtained when the output power of the PA driver is 0.4...

Hardware transactional memory (HTM) implementations already provide a transactional abstraction at HW speed in multi-core systems. The imminent availability of mature byte-addressable, nonvolatile memory (NVM) will provide persistence at the speed of accessing main memory. This paper presents the notion...

Modern data-centric flows in the telecommunications industry require real time analytical processing over a rapidly changing and large dataset. The traditional approach of separating OLTP and OLAP workloads cannot satisfy this requirement. Instead, a new class of integrated solutions for...
