A Framework for Fault Tolerant Real Time Systems Based on Reconfigurable FPGAs

1.

Abstract

To increase the amount of logic available to the user in SRAM-based FPGAs, manufacturers are using nanometric technologies to boost logic density and reduce cost, making its use more attractive. However, these technological improvements also make FPGAs particularly vulnerable to configuration memory bit-flips caused by the power fluctuations, strong electromagnetic field and radiation. This issue is particularly sensitive because of the increasing amount of configuration memory cells needed to define their functionality. A short survey of the most recent publications is presented to support the options assumed during the definition of a framework for implementing circuits immune to bit-flips induction mechanisms in memory cells, base on a detection-and-fix controller. 2. Introduction and Motivation The introduction of Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technologies increased substantially the reliability of electronic systems, when compared with the previous use of discrete components. 3. Examples of Future Application Areas Multi-carrier spread spectrum concepts have been developed for a wide variety of applications. 4. Cellular mobile radio DVB-T return link MMDS/LMDS (FWA) Aeronautical communications

Research Goals

To analyze different parameters of different Multi-Carrier Spread Spectrum communication systems with software simulations

5.

Software

To simulate the results of research, I will use software MATLAB version 6.0 or later version, may be using some other software up to some extent also.

Research Proposal

MATLAB is complete for matrix laboratory that is very popular and powerful tool mostly used in scientific research problems, it has both the environments, i-e: command line and GUI also there are some built-in tools like CDMA tool, control tool, communication tool etc that makes easier to simulate any engineering research problem. 6. Conclusions

The high spectral efficiency and the low receiver complexity of MC-CDMA makes it a
good candidate for the downlink of a cellular system. The low peak to average power ratio (PAPR) property of MC-DS-CDMA makes it more appropriate for the uplink of a multiuser system. 7. References
