【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明是有關於一種無線數位通訊,且特別是有關、 一種可使用一多階層化(mul ti-layered)架構以執行益' 線通訊標準、服務及應用程式之無線數位通訊系統之軟“'體 無線電(software defined radio,SDR)架構。 【先前技術】 一般而言,頻寬是一種昂貴之資源,且許多國家將頻 寬視為一般普通資產。因為不同地區内對不同通訊服務之 已釋放頻帶的用法不同,使得甲地之設備難以與乙地1設 備進行通訊。典型地,無線通訊標準將可被執行於不同^ 麵 體平台上。舉例而言,除了雙模式全球行動通訊系統 _ (globe system for mobile communication,GSM)手機 之外’可於9 0 0MHz GSM區域内進行通訊之手機將無法於 1 8 0 0 Μ Η z G S Μ區域内進行通訊。當使用者移動於不同區域 時’使用者將無法利用不同區域内之業者廠商所提供之服 務進行手機通訊。因此,當使用者由一區域移動至另一區 域時,使用者必須隨身攜常數種不同通訊規格之手機,以 分別於不同區域内使用不同通訊規格之手機進行通訊,相 當不便。 請參照第1圖’其繪示乃用以執行單一通訊標準之一 般無線數位通訊糸統1 ο 〇的方塊圖。在第1圖中,首先,天 I _ 線(antenna) 102將接收外來之信號,接著,射頻 (radio frequency, RF)子系統 ι〇4及中頻[Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a wireless digital communication, and more particularly, to a wireless technology that can use a multi-layered (mul ti-layered) architecture to implement wireless communication standards, services, and applications. Digital "software defined radio" (SDR) architecture of digital communication systems. [Previous technology] Generally speaking, bandwidth is an expensive resource, and many countries regard bandwidth as a general asset. Because different regions The different usage of the released frequency bands for different communication services makes it difficult for the equipment in Area A to communicate with the equipment in Area B. Typically, the wireless communication standard will be implemented on different ^ hedron platforms. Mode global mobile communication system_ (globe system for mobile communication, GSM) Outside of mobile phones, mobile phones that can communicate in the GSM area of 900 MHz will not be able to communicate in the area of 1 800 Μ Η z GS Μ. When used When the user moves in different regions, the user will not be able to use the services provided by the vendors in different regions for mobile phone communication. Therefore When the user moves from one area to another, the user must carry a constant type of mobile phone with different communication specifications in order to use different mobile phones with different communication specifications for communication in different areas, which is quite inconvenient. Please refer to Figure 1 'The drawing is a block diagram of a general wireless digital communications system 1 ο 〇 used to implement a single communication standard. In Figure 1, first, the antenna I_ 102 (antenna) will receive the external signal, and then the radio frequency (radio frequency, RF) subsystem ι〇4 and intermediate frequency

Among them, the RF subsystem 104 and the I / F subsystem 106 are used to execute waveform processing procedures of analog signals. The processing procedures include mixing, filtering, amplifying, and amplifying control of analog signals. Then, the analog-to-digital converter (A / D) subsystem 108 receives analog signals that have been processed by the RF subsystem 104 and the I / F subsystem 106, and A The / D subsystem 108 converts the received analog signal into an equivalent digital signal.

Because the application program 124 needs computing resources, the 'programmable logic element 11 4, DSP 11 6 and microprocessor etc. must be used to perform signal processing and generate data flow and control flow.

The architecture of the wireless digital communication system 2000 in FIG. 2 is similar to the structure of the wireless digital communication system 1 in FIG. 1, but the difference is that the wireless digital communication system 2 in FIG. 2 has A dedicated logic component bank (bank) 202 is used to provide different specific standard functions, specific channel functions, specific modem functions, and other signal | processing functions.

輯元件庫2 0 2係對不同之無線數位通訊標準。因此,第2 所說明之一般可提供多重通訊標準之方法基本上分別最^ 化是由最佳化後的標準所需之硬體及軟體資源組合而成。 所以,此平台在大小、成本及功率消耗等方面皆呈現產生 不佳之效率。 請參照第3圖,其繪示乃一般多重標準通訊設備之之 控制架構30 0的方塊圖,即第3圖是第2圖之無線數位通訊 系統2 0 0之資源管理的方埦圖。在第3圖中,〇s丄2 2扮演程 序管理之角色並可執行於第2圖之微處理器11 8上。因此, 可執行硬體/軟體功能之設定之每一應用程式1 2 4係可運作 於OS 1 2 2下。對不同標準而言、應用程式1 24及服務之資 源要求是不一樣的。既然每一應用程式1 2 4需要運算資 源’所以,不是由可程式化邏輯元件11 4及DSP 1 1 6提供信 號處理及建立資料流及控制流,就是由微處理器11 8提供 信號處理及建立資料流及控制流。不同之產物及服務將會 決定所需要之資源,並且組合資源。在適當組合後,每一 應用程式1 2 4能夠操作於硬體平台上並達到所需要之效 能。顯然而見的,控制架構3 0 0對大小、成本及功率消耗 等方面皆呈現不佳之效率。 請參照第4圖,其繪示乃不同硬體所呈現之效率及彈 性(f 1 e X i b i 1 i t y)之相對關係圖。在第4圖中,由效率之 觀點來看,效率由大至小依序為特殊應用積體電路 (application-specific integrated circuit, ASIC )、DSP、内嵌式處理器及場式可程式化閘陣列(f i e 1 dThe component library 2 0 2 is a standard for different wireless digital communications. Therefore, the method described in Section 2 that can generally provide multiple communication standards is basically optimized by combining the hardware and software resources required by the optimized standard. Therefore, this platform has a poor efficiency in terms of size, cost and power consumption. Please refer to FIG. 3, which shows a block diagram of a control architecture 300 of a general multi-standard communication device, that is, FIG. 3 is a diagram of resource management of the wireless digital communication system 2000 of FIG. In Fig. 3, os 2 22 plays the role of program management and can be executed on the microprocessor 11 8 in Fig. 2. Therefore, each application 1 2 4 that can perform the setting of the hardware / software function can run under the OS 1 2 2. The resource requirements for applications 12 and services are different for different standards. Since each application program 1 2 4 needs computing resources, so either the programmable logic element 11 4 and DSP 1 1 6 provide signal processing and establish data flow and control flow, or the microprocessor 11 8 provides signal processing and Establish data flow and control flow. Different products and services will determine the required resources and combine resources. After proper combination, each application 1 2 4 can operate on the hardware platform and achieve the required performance. Obviously, the control architecture 300 has poor efficiency in terms of size, cost, and power consumption. Please refer to Figure 4, which shows the relative relationship between the efficiency and elasticity (f 1 e X i b i 1 i t y) presented by different hardware. In Figure 4, from the point of view of efficiency, efficiency is in order from special to integrated circuit (application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC), DSP, embedded processor, and field programmable gate Array (fie 1 d

Description of the invention (5) programmable gate array5 FPGA). Among them, AS I C has higher efficiency because fixed hardware resources such as ASIC tend to design for special functions. Generally speaking, highly configurable and programmable logic units such as microprocessors and digital signal processors have lower efficiency chip sizes and functions. By analyzing the millions of operations per milliWatt (MOPS / mW) of these operational logic elements and knowing their energy efficiency distribution among each other, we can find the AS 1C and DSP in Figure 4 There is an efficiency gap between them. Please refer to FIG. 5, which shows a block diagram of a wireless digital communication device 500. In Figure 5, the wireless digital communication device 500 includes a digital frequency down-converter (DDC) 518, a digital frequency up-converter (DUC) 519, and a programmable Digital Signal Processor (DSP) 5 0 2, Programmable Microprocessor (// P) 504, Heterogeneous re-configurable (heterogeneous re-configurable) multi-processing logic circuit 50 6 and Bus 508.
