A Software Radio Design Approach for Heterogeneous Wireless Access Protocol Transceivers
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study on the design of heterogeneous transceivers using the software radio approach is presented. The objective of the study is to extend the research on software radio towards the design of multi-protocol transceivers which can communicate between two or more heterogeneous wireless access technologies. A critical overview of some of the current multiprotocol software radio devices is presented. This is then followed by a proposal for a dual band WiFi/WiMAX transceiver based on software radio techniques. This design incorporates a multiband antenna as well as an RF WiFi/WiMAX mode switch which uses the WiFi received signal strength (RSS) to perform handover between the underlying WiFi and WiMAX networks.

Implementing a Base Station Using the Sdr Platform for Coexistence of Heterogeneous Wireless Systems
We propose a new approach to solving the spectrum scarcity problem, called spectrum access scheduling (SAS), which allows heterogeneous wireless systems to share the same spectrum band using protocol engineering methods. SAS treats the collection of wireless systems as an ecosystem, and optimizes the system performance by collaborative designs. The key architectural component in realizing SAS i...
متن کاملMulti-channel Medium Access Control Protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks: A Survey
Extensive researches on Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have been performed and many techniques have been developed for the data link (MAC) layer. Most of them assume single-channel MAC protocols. In the usual dense deployment of the sensor networks, single-channel MAC protocols may be deficient because of radio collisions and limited bandwidth. Hence, using multiple channels can significantly ...

متن کاملTemporal Spectrum Access Scheduling for Heterogeneous Wireless Systems Coexistence
The wireless spectrum has always been the scarce resource that creates bottlenecks in communication channels. On the other hand, the channel access scheduling has gone from coordinating homogeneous users to heterogeneous ones, as seen in the recent development of cognitive radio technologies. In this paper, we address the spectrum scarcity problem using a novel approach, in which we proactively...
متن کاملScheduling Heterogeneous Wireless Systems for Efficient Spectrum Access
The spectrum scarcity problem emerged in recent years, due to unbalanced utilization of RF (radio frequency) bands in the current state of wireless spectrum allocations. Spectrum access scheduling addresses challenges arising from spectrum sharing by interleaving the channel access among multiple wireless systems in a TDMA fashion. Different from cognitive radio approaches which are opportunist...
