Open Platform for Prototyping of Advanced Software Defined Radio and Cognitive Radio Techniques

This paper presents the ANR project IDROMel, which aims at developing reconfigurable SDR (Software Defined Radio) and Cognitive Radio (CR) equipments. IDROMel is a 3 years project that started in 2005 and finishes in 2009. The main objective of IDROMel is to define, develop and validate a powerful SDR and CR platform combining very last technology progresses. The platform includes software parts (reconfigurable protocol stacks) and hardware parts (a base band board and a Radio Frequency Front end, RF). Both parts are presented in this paper.)
