1. Software Defined Radios: From Smart(er) to Cognitive
Authors: Sofie Pollin, Michael Timmers and Liesbet Van der Perre
Publisher: Springer
Year: 2011
Many and ever more mobile users wish to enjoy a variety of multimedia services, in very diverse geographical environments. The growing number of communication options within and across wireless standards is accommodating the growing volume and heterogeneity in wireless wishes. On the other hand, advancement in radio technologies opening much more flexibility, a.o. through Software Defined Radios, opens up the possibility to realize mobile devices featuring multi-mode options at low cost and interesting form factors.
It is crucial to manage the new degrees of freedom opened up in radios and standards in a smart way, such that the required service is offered at satisfactory quality as efficiently as possible. Efficiency in energy consumption is clearly primordial for battery powered mobile terminals specifically, and in the context of growing ecological concerns in a broader context. Moreover, efficient usage of the spectrum is a growing prerequisite for wireless systems, and coexistence of different standards puts overall throughput at risk.
The management of flexibility risks bringing about intolerable complexity and hamper the desired agility. A systematic approach, consisting of anticipative preparing for smooth operation, allows mastering this challenge. Case studies show that already today, this approach enables smart operation of radios realizing impressive efficiency gains without hampering Quality-of-Service. In the future wireless communication scenes will be able to profit form the opening of the spectrum. Even smarter and cognitive behavior will become possible and essential.

2. Software Defined Radio for 3G (Artech House Mobile Communications Series)
Authors: Paul Burns
Publisher: Artech House Publishers
Year: 2002
If you're a mobile communications engineer considering software radio solutions, this practical resource is essential reading. It covers systems design and partitioning all the way from the antenna to the management and control software. Various options for hardware are provided including a look at current and state of the art silicon technologies such as A/D & D/As, DSPs, FPGAs, RCPs, ACMs & digital frequency up/down-converters.
The book covers both TDMA and CDMA based cellular radio systems with a special emphasis on how the technology can solve many of the problems faced by 3G. A chapter detailing software architecture summarizes the JTRS and SDRF proposals and discusses potential software radio languages. Special coverage of smart antenna technology is followed by an implementation of a low cost software radio using off the shelf components to give readers a great head start to the world of software radio. The book concludes with an overview of engineering design assistance software tools that are becoming so important for successful developments of embedded radio products.

3. Software Defined Radio: Baseband Technologies for 3G Handsets and Basestations
Authors: Walter H.W. Tuttlebee
Publisher: Wiley
Year: December 2003
The impending advent of GSM in the early 1990s triggered massive investment that revolutionised the capability of DSP technology. A decade later, the vastly increased processing requirements and potential market of 3G has triggered a similar revolution, with a host of start-up companies claiming revolutionary technologies hoping to challenge and displace incumbent suppliers.
This book, with contributions from today's major players and leading start-ups, comprehensively describes both the new approaches and the responses of the incumbents, with detailed descriptions of the design philosophy, architecture, technology maturity and software support.
Analysis of SDR baseband processing requirements of cellular handsets and basestations
3G handset baseband - ASIC, DSP, parallel processing, ACM and customised programmable architectures
3G basestation baseband - DSP (including co-processors), FPGA-based approaches, reconfigurable and parallel architectures
Architecture optimisation to match 3G air interface and application algorithms
Evolution of existing DSP, ASIC & FPGA solutions
Assessment of the architectural approaches and the implications of the trends.
An essential resource for the 3G product designer, who needs to understand immediate design options within a wider context of future product roadmaps, the book will also benefit researchers and commercial managers who need to understand this rapid evolution of baseband signal processing and its industry impact.

4. RF and Digital Signal Processing for Software-Defined Radio: A Multi-Standard Multi-Mode Approach
Author: Tony J. Rouphael
Publisher: Newnes
Year: 2008
Software-defined radio (SDR) technology is a configurable, low cost, and power efficient solution for multimode and multistandard wireless designs. This book describes software-defined radio concepts and design principles from the perspective of RF and digital signal processing as performed within this system. After an introductory overview of essential SDR concepts, this book examines signal modulation techniques, RF and digital system analysis and requirements, Nyquist and oversampled data conversion techniques, and multirate digital signal processing..

5. Cognitive Radio, Software Defined Radio, and Adaptive Wireless Systems
Author: Hüseyin Arslan
Pulisher: Springer
Year: 2007
Today’s wireless services have come a long way since the roll out of the conventional voice-centric cellular systems. The demand for wireless access in voice and high rate data multi-media applications has been increasing. New generation wireless communication systems are aimed at accommodating this demand through better resource management and improved transmission technologies.
The interest in increasing Spectrum Access and improving Spectrum Efficiency combined with both the introduction of Software Defined Radios and the realization that machine learning can be applied to radios has created new intriguing possibilities for wireless radio researchers.
This book is aimed to discuss the cognitive radio, software defined radio (SDR), and adaptive radio concepts from several aspects. Cognitive radio and cognitive networks will be investigated from a broad aspect of wireless communication system enhancement while giving special emphasis on better spectrum utilization. Applications of cognitive radio, SDR and cognitive radio architectures, spectrum efficiency and soft spectrum usage, adaptive wireless system design, measurements and awareness of various parameters including interference temperature and geo-location information are some the important topics that will be covered in this book.
Cognitive Radio, Software Defined Radio and Adaptive Wireless Systems is intended to be both an introductory technology survey/tutorial for beginners and an advanced mathematical overview intended for technical professionals in the communications industry, technical managers, and researchers in both academia and industry.
