下一代电信基础设施的发展面临着许多严峻的挑战。复杂的功能、最高的带宽需求、较短的开发周期和动态的市场需求与标准化尚未完成或可能发生变化的新兴技术相结合。这涉及错误和不合规的高风险。一旦设备被部署，芯片的更新是昂贵和耗时的，需要重新旋转设备和现场交换电路包。可重构片上系统将有助于适应部署后的变化，从而大大降低修改成本。在这篇文章中，我们提出了一种新的电信网络中的片上系统的重新配置技术：部署的设备的设计部分更新的基础上分发到片上系统的带内以太网数据包流的信息，而网络设备保持在服务。
The development of next-generation telecommunication infrastructure meets a number of demanding challenges. Complex functionality, highest bandwidth demands, short development cycles and dynamic market requirements are combined with emerging technologies where standardization is not complete or subject to change. This involves a high risk of errors and non-conformances. Once the equipment is deployed, the update of chips is expensive and time-consuming, requiring re-spins of the devices and field exchange of circuit packs. Reconfigurable Systems-on-Chip will facilitate to accommodate changes subsequent to the deployment and thus significantly reduce modification costs. In this article we present a new reconfiguration technology for Systems-on-Chip in a telecommunication network: design parts of deployed devices are updated based on information distributed to the Systems-on-Chip with in-band Ethernet packet streams while the network equipment stays in service.
