چکیده
– The software-defined-radio concept received increasing attention due to necessity of multi-mode/multi-system capable terminals for next generation communication systems. This paper summarizes the requirements of a multi-mode compliant digital-front-end (DFE) and describes concepts for cellular terminal implementations on silicon. A partitioning is proposed wherein functionality, normally located in the analog-front-end, is shifted to the digital-front-end. This work concentrates on the receiver part of the digital-front-end.

Re-configuration Techniques for Sdr Architectures
Concepts and techniques for re-configurability in mobile wireless terminals are presented which can be used in future SDR terminals. The techniques are used to obtain a multimode operation, so that a mobile terminal can support different wireless standards with the same hardware platform. This is demonstrated first by using UMTS and its extension as well as GSM. The work is concentrating on the...
متن کاملTransmission and Reception Front-End Algorithms for Software Defined Radio
We present low-complexity algorithms for transmitter and receiver front-end suited to the implementation of software defined radio (SDR) terminals. The proposed algorithms make the processing sampling frequency independent of the symbol rate of the digitally modulated signal and use the “IF-sampling” technique for D/A and A/D conversion. As a case-study, we consider a training-based joint multi...
متن کاملAn Architecture for Radio-independent Wireless Access Networks
This paper discusses a novel architecture for a Hybrid Fiber Radio (HFR) access network using Software Defined Radio (SDR) in a combined Base Station (BS) headend unit. While most of the current SDR approaches consider software radio to be used in the portable terminals to allow multi-mode operation, we propose a SDR-HFR based access network architecture. The combination of HFR and SDR allows s...

متن کاملThe Front end of Software-Defined Radio: Possibilities and Challenges
The use of mobile telephony has shown a spectacular growth in the last 10 years. A side effect of this rapid growth is an excess of mobile system standards. Therefore, the Software-Defined-Radio (SDR) concept is emerging as a potential pragmatic solution: it aims to build flexible radio systems, which are multi-service, multi-standard, multiband, re-configurable and re-programmable, by software...
