Popis: Increase in the number of antennas in the front-end increases the volume of data to be processed at the back-end. This establishes a need for acceleration in back-end processing. To solve the issue of high volume data processing at back-end, a GPU is utilized. Acceleration for Least Squares channel estimation and demodulation of uplink OFDM symbols is provided by using a combination of CPU and GPU at the back-end. Single user uplink scenario is implemented in near real-time manner using the USRP platform present in the Large scale antenna systems in ORBIT Testbed. The number of antennas and FFT length are varied to provide different scenarios for comparison. The performance of both CPU and GPU is compared for each process.
