Abstract

In the scope of the US Department of Defense (DoD) Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) program, the portability and reconfigurability needs of Software Defined Radios (SDR) required by the Software Communications Architecture (SCA) [1] can be resolved thanks to Model Driven Architecture (MDA) and component/container paradigm to address a heterogeneous hardware and software architecture.

In this paper, we propose SystemC Transaction Level Modelling (TLM) to simulate Platform Independent Model (PIM) and Platform Specific Model (PSM) of SDRs, while keeping the component/container approach for applications portability. We show that SystemC 2.1 enables natively to simulate the waveform PIM specified in UML to obtain an executable specification, which can be reused to validate the SystemC TLM model of PSM. This latter allows radio platform virtualisation and true reuse of IPs models to validate earlier SDR waveforms and platforms.

A software-defined radio based cognitive radio demonstration over FM band
Recent Advances in Wireless Communications and Networks

In this paper, we present a software-defined radio (SDR) based cognitive radio (CR) implementation and demonstration over the frequency modulation (FM) band. Using GNU Radio as the software platform and USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral) SDR ...
Real-time spectrum sensing using software defined radio platforms

As the lack of frequency resources became a critical problem in recent years, solutions had to be found in order to use the available spectrum in a more efficient way. Cognitive radio (CR) technology is a possible answer to this, by proposing a dynamic ...

BM-MDA '09: Proceedings of the 1st Workshop on Behaviour Modelling in Model-Driven Architecture

Modeling languages that aim to capture PIM level behavior are still a challenge. We propose a high level behavioral formalism based on the Abstract State Machines (ASMs) for the specification and validation of software systems at PIM level. An ASM-based ...
