Design and implementation of software radios using a general purpose processor
Vanu G. Bose, John V. Guttag, David L. Tennenhouse · 1999
This dissertation presents the design, implementation and evaluation of a novel software radio architecture based on wideband digitization, a general purpose processor and application level software. The goal of a software radio is to create a communications system in which any aspect of the signal processing can be dynamically modified to adapt to changing environmental conditions, traffic constraints, user requirements and infrastructure limitations. The coupling of wideband digitization with application level software running on a general purpose processor allows for the modification of a greater range of functionality than any existing solution
