Abstract
One of the key issues of designing radio communication systems is to enhance the efficiency and flexibility of the available radio spectrum. In this context, reconfigurable implementation of the different system layers such as Media Access Control (MAC), Physical (PHY), and RF layers with optimal cross-layer design is driving nowadays research on designing reliable and robust mobile communication systems. This paper presents the software and hardware implementation aspects of a DSP-Based cognitive LTE testbed and addresses the design, the implementation and the realistic verification of the key components of the system.
