ABSTRACT

A novel, yet simple and generic approach towards hardware/software partitioning, co-implementation and verification of the complex signal-processing algorithms is presented. An Industry standard MATLAB SIMULINK environment is adopted and linked to hardware and software development platforms, which execute individual algorithms. The method has been used in development of the new TETRA Release 2 secure wireless telecommunication standard and its effectiveness is demonstrated.
