Abstract

This paper presents ReAdapt, a reconfigurable data path architecture that enables dynamic scaling of the energy- quality trade-off in adaptive filtering systems at runtime. Adaptive filtering is a crucial technique in many digital signal processing (DSP) applications, such as biomedical signal processing, where system accuracy requirements fluctuate depending on noise and signal strength. ReAdapt is designed to dynamically switch between four adaptive filtering algorithms, each offering a different level of computational complexity: Least Mean Square (LMS), Partial Update Normalized LMS (PU-NLMS), Set-Membership Normalized LMS (SM-NLMS), and Normalized LMS (NLMS). By reorganizing the data path flow and utilizing data-gating to reduce switching activity in unused modules, the system reduces energy consumption without compromising signal quality. The ReAdapt architecture was implemented using a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) on the Xilinx Vertex-5 platform, employing a reversible Wallace Tree multiplier to further optimize the design's power and delay characteristics. A case study on interference mitigation for electroencephalogram (EEG) signal processing demonstrated that ReAdapt offers substantial improvements in both energy efficiency and throughput compared to conventional architectures. Specifically, the design achieved a throughput increase of 6.8 times and an energy reduction of at least 2.84 times per operation. Additionally, this study explores the effect of runtime reconfiguration based on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) variations. The hardware synthesis results illustrate that dynamic algorithm selection at runtime achieves superior energy- quality trade-offs compared to static single-mode systems. The system's compact VLSI implementation makes it suitable for power- constrained environments such as wearable biomedical devices or low-latency communication systems. This work demonstrates that the proposed architecture is an efficient solution for real-time applications requiring both high performance and energy optimization. The paper also highlights the dynamic energy-quality trade-off, proving the architecture's efficiency for highperformance applications such as 5G signal processing. The matter presented in this article is the review of a paper and is the seminar / project work that was done by the under-graduate students under the guidance of the authors and there is no novelty in it and the staffs have just guided it and is a collection of the articles written by different authors as mentioned in the references.
