In this paper, I present an approach to implement a real-time video transceiver using software-defined radio (SDR). Through this, it is expected that it will be able to lower the access threshold and provide new perspectives and insights to researchers who want to study the recently spotlighted Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) and implement it through SDR devices and open software.

In this paper, as a compatible software radio transmission system, Digital-Radio conversion system which can directly change the digital signal generated by the logic circuit into radio signal is proposed. By the vector synthesis method, the digital signals can change directly into radio signal. If such a circuit is realized, RF circuit and an antenna can be composed by the simple one device, and the radio is directly controlled and performed by the software processing which is the essence of software radio. This Digital-Radio conversion system of this paper give many number of communication channels being offered by PN code and offer a hardware design flexibility by digitization, therefore it decrease the percentage ratio of hardware of system and give a more flexible function of software basis. In this paper, this proposed Digital-Radio conversion system is called D/R converter, and the principle of this D/R converter, radio signal generation algorithm is explained and the performance characteristics of proposed algorithm is shown in time base by the computer simulation method.

In this paper, a software radio system, supporting the physical layer of IEEE 802.15.4 standard, has been developed using USRP(Universal Software Radio Peripheral) board and GNU Radio package of an open source development kit for software radio. The software radio system supports the standards of BPSK and OQPSK modulations for 868/915 MHz band and OQPSK modulation for 2.45 GHz band. To verify the operation of the developed system, it has been tested under the standard signals according to the frequency band and packet structures for the transmitting and receiving operation. At 2.4 GHz, the Smart RF EV board and CC2430 modules are used to check the proper operation of the software radio system. The system performance test shows that the emission power spectrum, the eye-pattern, and PER(Packet Error Rate) meet the standard. It has been confirmed that the developed system supports the PHY layer of IEEE 802.15.4.

This work summarizes the current state of the art in software radio for 4G systems. Specifically, this work demonstrates that classic radio structures, e.g., heterodyne reception, homodyne reception, and their improved implementations, are inadequate selections for multi-mode reception. This opens the door to software defined radio, a novel reception architecture which promises ease in multi-band, multi-protocol design. The work presents the many advantages of such an architecture, including flexibility, reduced cost via component reduction, and improved reliability via, e.g., the elimination of environmental instability. The work also explains the limitations that currently curtail the widespread use of SDR, including issues surrounding A/D converters, management of software and power, and clock generation. This provides direction for future research to enable the broad applicability of SDR in 4G cellular and beyond.

An SDR (Software Defined Radio) system based on general purpose computing platform has benefits of ease of software development process, high degree of software compatibility, and cost-effectiveness of general purpose processors. This paper discusses design and implementation of a dual-mode SDR system that supports both cordless phone and walkie-talky system running on Linux-based general purpose computing platform. For this purpose, we designed modulation and demodulation software on open source-based GNU radio middleware. We also designed a customized RF front-end hardware which performs frequency conversion between RF and IF. The proposed SDR system successfully exhibited its ability to operate both cordless phone and walkie-talky communication on Intel processor-based general purpose computing platform. But experience with the prototype SDR system shows that further research is required for run-time software reconfiguration and efficient integration with conventional TCP/IP protocol stacks.

This paper presents an implementation method using NDK (Network Developer's Kit) of GNU (GNU is Not Unix) Radio and Multicore DSP (Digital Signal Processor) to implement LTE (Long Term Evolution) SDR (Software Defined Radio) Platform. In order to satisfy 1.4MHz, 3MHz, 5MHz and 10MHz of the bandwidth supported by LTE, USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) X series which is an RF (Radio Frequency) transceiver of Ettus Research was used. To control this, GNU Radio which is an open source software radio toolkit was used. We also used NDK from TI (Texas Instruments) DSP to transfer data between USRP and DSP. Experimental results show throughput results according to each bandwidth, thus confirming the feasibility of implementing LTE SDR Platform using GNU Radio and NDK of TI DSP.

Spectrum sensing is an integral part of cognitive radio, which seeks to address the perceived spectrum scarcity that is caused by inefficient utilization of the available spectrum. In this paper, a spectrum sensing system using energy detection for analog TV and FM broadcast transmitters as well as modified Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting Terrestrial (ISDB-T) signals is implemented on a software-defined radio platform using GNU' Not Unix (GNU) radio and the N200 Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP). Real-time implementation and experimental tests were conducted in Metro Cebu, a highly urbanized area in the southern part of the Philippines. Extensive tests and measurements were necessary to determine spectrum availability, particularly in the TV band. This is in support of the Philippine government' efforts to provide internet connectivity to rural areas. Experimental results have so far met IEEE 802.22 requirements for energy detection spectrum sensing. The designed system detected signals at -114 dBm within a sensing time of 100 ms. Furthermore, the required $P_d({\geq}90)$ and $P_{fa}({\leq}10)$ of the standard were also achieved with different thresholds for various signal sources representing primary users.

A solar radio spectrograph for monitoring solar radio emission was installed at Ichon branch of Radio Research Laboratory in 1995. The spectrograph consists of three different antennas to sweep a wide band of frequencies in the range of 30MHz~2500MHz. We have developed the operating software for the acquisition and the analysis of solar radio data obtained by solar radiospectrograph in order to carry out active solar radio observational studies. It was found that by using our software, we could have very good solar radio data for a sequence of three TYPE III bursts observed on 4 Nov. 1997. In this paper, we show the radio spectrograph and the result of the observation by its operating software.

The European Telecommunication Standards Institute (ETSI) Technical Committee (TC) Reconfigurable Radio Systems (RRS) is standardizing the multi-mode Mobile Device (MD). The configuration of multi-mode MD is determined by the downloaded mobile communication standard software. In this paper, we introduce the Radio Library concept for multi-mode MD which is one of the key components of RRS standard. This paper also introduces the Standard Functional Block which is a part of Radio Library. A method for selecting efficiency SFBs for multi-mode MD is presented and a Radio Library is generated based on the selected SFBs. This paper also shows sample Standard Functional Block Set which included in Radio Library. In order to verify the compatibility of the generated Radio Library which was made by C language, we implement the LTE Rel-10 and Wi-Fi(802.11b) to show the efficiency of generating a mobile communication standard software based on the Radio Library. Then using the Prograph Visual Programming MartenTM 1.6.4, we compiled our LTE Rel-10 and Wi-Fi(802.11b) source code.
