Open Wireless Software Radio on Common PC

Abstract

Software radio is the promising technology that allows the different wireless standards easily be converged. Using general purpose processors and open-source operating systems instead of dedicated hardware and software to build the wireless communication system is very flexible and low-cost. In this article,the open-source platform based on common PCs is described, which allows rapid development and verification of software radio systems. We also discuss the efficient distributed strategies essential for this platform. Finally, the demonstration system of TD-SCDMA is developed and the conclusion given
