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.

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.

7. Telecommunication Breakdown - Concepts of Communication Transmitted via Software-Defined Radio
Authors: C. Richard Johnson, William A. Sethares
Page: 400 pages
Year: 2003

Description:
The fundamental principles of telecommunications have remained much the same since Shannon's time. What has changed, and is continuing to change, is how those principles are deployed in technology. One of the major ongoing changes is the shift from hardware to software. Telecommunication Breakdown: Concepts of Communication Transmitted via Software-Defined Radio reflects this trend by focusing on the design of a digital software-defined radio.
Telecommunication Breakdown. Concepts of Communication Transmitted via Software-Defined Radio helps the reader build a complete digital radio that includes each part of a typical digital communication system. Chapter by chapter, the reader creates a MATLAB® realization of the various pieces of the system, exploring the key ideas along the way. In the final chapter, the reader "puts it all together" by building a complete receiver. This is accomplished using only knowledge of calculus, Fourier transforms, and MATT-AB

8. Software Defined Radio - The Software Communications Architecture
Authors: John Bard, Vincent J. Kovarik
Publisher: Wiley
Year: 2007
Page: 462 pages

Description:
The Software Communications Architecture (SCA) establishes an implementation-independent framework for the development of Joint Tactical Radio System software configurable radios. It specifies the Operating Environment, services and interfaces that applications use.

Software Defined Radio: The Software Communications Architecture focuses on the issues and benefits associated with developing a radio system in compliance with the SCA specification. This book provides a comprehensive, practical introduction to building a SCA-compliant system taking the reader through the historical and conceptual background to help filling in the gaps between the intent of the SCA specification and the practice.

Key features:

* Presents a practical approach to the Software Communications Architecture
* Provides an example-oriented understanding of the usage of the SCA and thus allows the reader to extend the concepts and practice to more complicated multi-processor distributed environments.
* Covers the Operating Environment: a Core framework, CORBA middleware, POSIX operating systems and Domain profiles.
* Features an accompanying website with appendices, and links to further information on the SCA.

This invaluable reference will provide applications programmers, designers, professional researchers, wireless manufacturers and operators with an indispensable guide to the Software Communications Architecture. Advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students on mobile and wireless communications courses will also find this to be an excellent guide to the topic.

Trends in low power handset software defined radio

Abstract
This paper presents an overview of trends in low power handset SDR implementations. With the market for SDR-enabled handsets expected to grow to 200M units by 2014, the barriers to efficient handset implementations – both hardware and software – have been removed based on new and innovative architectures. We describe advances in DSP architectures and compilers that are enabling SDR handset implementations and present some results for a specific SDR design.

SDR (systems defined radio): how do we get there from here

Abstract

The SDR, which normally means software defined radio, is a major change from earlier radios. Functionality is predominantly realized in software (SW). SDR hardware (HW) is predominantly computers and data buses rather than RF/IF elements. SDRs are complex "do everything" radios. Object oriented analysis/object oriented design (OOA/OOD) has become a mainstream SW methodology over the past decade. These changes make definition of radio requirements, translation of these requirements into radio architecture and design, and description of SDR functionality more difficult. The modern radio is in fact a complex system and needs to be treated as such if these challenges are to be successfully met. An approach to achieving this is presented that marries conventional top-down functional decomposition with OOA/OOD.
