System on Chip Architectures for Home Networks
 
Abstract:
 
Most of even lower-cost consumer electronics devices today incorporate many technologies which as recently as a decade ago did not exist, or required dedicated high-cost platforms to implement. This presentation will introduce some examples of such advanced integrated platforms used for home IP networks, outlining the functional challenges involved in the implementation of devices such as Set-top Boxes and WiFi Access Points. Various approaches to these challenges, such as DSP and ASIC-accelerated SoC designs used by chipset developers, will be discussed along with their respective pros and cons.
