We present a modular framework to automatically generate and evaluate a wide range of Polar Code decoders, with emphasis on design space exploration for efficient hardware architectures. To demonstrate the efficiency of our framework a very high throughput SCAN Polar Code decoder is shown that was automatically generated. This decoder is, to the best of our knowledge, the fastest SCAN Polar Code decoder published so far.

With the increasing amount of mobile communication, special care has to be taken to avoid collision on wireless channels. The received power in the desired band is an indicator for the utilization of this frequency range. On a receiver several ways of detecting a Received Signal Strength Indicator are available, but don't necessarily fulfill efficiency or precision requirements. Therefore, this work presents a digital implementation which is both energy efficient and precise enough.

During the recently successfully completed EU funded cooperative research project 5G NORMA a new and-to-end network concept for future integrated communication network architectures (known as 5G) has been proposed and analyzed. Such architecture allows to support multiple services and tenants according to their specific needs – based on a common jointly used and dynamically configured infrastructure. Flexibility and adaptability to meet demands of future 5G use cases could be proven.

The Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 is evolving and has a high demand for reliable electronics. The topic is the development of a radio communication system regarding the requirements for the end user and concerning a high flexibility of the application. The result is a core board which can be combined with different sensor or actor shields to increase the flexibility and re-usability.

The simulation of large scale nonlinear dynamical interconnected systems is a usual task. Due to the high complexity of the considered systems, the principle of thinking in hierarchical structures is common among engineers. This contribution proposes an approach for the numerical simulation of large systems, which keeps the hierarchical system structure alive during the entire simulation and order reduction process, which results in several benefits compared with the state of the art.
