DESCRIPTION:Prof. Joseph R. Cavallaro\,  Rice University\nAt Rice Universi
 ty\, we focus on algorithms and architectures for the future generations o
 f wireless devices that will provide hundreds of Mbits/sec processing spee
 d\, excellent quality of service\, high spectral efficiency and flexibilit
 y. The Wireless Open-Access Research Platform (WARP) (http://warp.rice.edu
 ) is being developed at the Center for Multimedia Communication (http://cm
 c.rice.edu). WARP provides a scalable and configurable platform mainly des
 igned to prototype wireless communication algorithms for educational and r
 esearch oriented applications. The programmability and flexibility allows 
 for the implementation of various physical and network layer protocols and
  standards. Current topics of research include algorithms for multiple ant
 enna systems (MIMO) using OFDM\, along with advanced LDPC channel coding. 
 We are also studying the extensions of these systems to cooperative or rel
 ay environments and exploring new graphic processor unit architectures and
  new high level synthesis design flows. Detection algorithms based on soft
  sphere detection (SSD) in iterative combination with outer LDPC channel d
 ecoding have great promise for improved performance. The WARP platform is 
 reconfigurable and consists of FPGA baseband processors along with multipl
 e attached radio subsystems\, which enables quick prototyping of these wir
 eless communication algorithms for over-the-air experimentation. The onlin
 e open-access WARP repository is used to document and share different wire
 less architectures and cross-layer designs developed at Rice and at other 
 educational and research centers. This repository provides a basis for stu
 dents and researchers with a wide range of backgrounds in hardware impleme
 ntation and algorithm development to collaborate and initiate multi-discip
 linary system designs.
