Communication system with reconfigurable hardware structure and reconfiguration method therefor

摘要

A communication system is provided with a reconfigurable hardware structure to provide implementation flexibility while minimizing a reduction in low power consumption performance. The communication system includes a plurality of processing element (PE) blocks for processing data based on multiple wireless transmission standards, memories for storing data being processed or to be processed by the PE blocks, and a controller for controlling data processing in the PE blocks, a data input operation to the PE blocks and a data output operation from the PE blocks, and for controlling transmission of data being processed in and input/output to/from the PE blocks. Each of the PE blocks includes a plurality of PE modules, and each of the PE modules includes a predetermined number of PEs that perform different functions. Operation and input/output of the PE blocks, the PE modules and the PEs are controlled by the controller.
