DSP for Software Defined Radio

Andrei Enescu

Introduction

The idea behind SDR (software defined radio equipment) is to have a multi-band, multi-standard terminal that can adaptively select the best communication stack available to establish a successful connection according to the QoS of the demanding services.

We can look at SDR from two perspectives: the mobile terminal and the base-station. The mobile terminal has multiple communication stacks implemented, but at any given time, it should use only one of these, according to a given criterion.

The criteria, depending on the application, may be:

• Best link

• The terminal must provide measurements on each of the candidate bands

• It then chooses the network that offers the best ...
