Energy aware waveform selection with threshold for SDR protocols switching

Abstract

Software Defined Radio (SDR) concept is becoming the future of mobile device due to its capability of switching between multiple waveforms. However energy consumption is still one of the most critical limitations in mobile applications. SDR needs an advanced selection scheme to choose the most optimized waveform to transmit, especially in term of energy efficiency. This paper proposes to adapt a threshold technique to improve the performance of the selection algorithm.
