Abstract

Traditionally, digital signal processing (DSP) software in a wireless system has been developed from scratch and optimised for the particular system. Because of technological advances, the DSP software development has now come closer to the other embedded software development and the importance of software architecture design has grown. Software architecture design should be based on the quality requirements. However, there are few examples how to define quality requirements to DSP software. This paper covers the most important quality attributes for DSP software and presents them in the form of taxonomies.
