SDRCADE: Software Defined Radio for Efficient Channel Access, Flexible Sensor Network Gateways, and a Rapid Develeopment Enviornment (SYS 16)

Software defined radio provides unique benefits as well as challenges. Our work in advanced channel access schemes and base stations for sensor networks exploit the flexibility of SDR, while our unified design enviornment addresses t he challenges that come with the multidisciplinary nature of SDR

Adaptive dynamic radio open-source intelligent team (ADROIT): Cognitively-controlled collaboration among SDR nodes

Abstract — The ADROIT project is building an open-source software-defined data radio, intended to be controlled by cognitive applications. The goal is to create a system that enables teams of radios, where each radio both has its own cognitive controls and the ability to collaborate with other radios, to create cognitive radio teams. The desire to create cognitive radio teams, and the goal of having an open-source system, requires a rich and carefully architected system that provides great flexibility (enabling cognitive applications to change the radio’s behavior) and also has a clear structure (both so that others may add or enhance the software, and also so that the system can be clearly modeled for cognitive applications). What follows is a summary of the ADROIT system and the key architectural features intended to enable cognitive radio teams. 1 I
