Description
The field programmable gate array (FPGA) devices are ideal solutions for
high-speed processing applications, given their flexibility, parallel processing
capability, and power efficiency. In this review paper, at first, an overview of
the key applications of FPGA-based platforms in 5G networks/systems is
presented, exploiting the improved performances offered by such devices.
FPGA-based implementations of cloud radio access network (C-RAN)
accelerators, network function virtualization (NFV)-based network slicers,
cognitive radio systems, and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel
characterizers are the main considered applications that can benefit from the
high processing rate, power efficiency and flexibility of FPGAs. Furthermore,
the implementations of encryption/decryption algorithms by employing the
Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+MPSoC ZCU102 FPGA platform are discussed, and
then we introduce our high-speed and lightweight implementation of the well-
known AES-128 algorithm, developed on the same FPGA platform, and
comparing it with similar solutions already published in the literature. The
comparison results indicate that our AES-128 implementation enables
efficient hardware usage for a given data-rate (up to 28.16 Gbit/s), resulting in
higher efficiency (8.64 Mbps/slice) than other considered solutions. Finally,
the applications of the ZCU102 platform for high-speed processing are
explored, such as image and signal processing, visual recognition, and
hardware resource management.
