Evolution of E 2 R Prototyping Environment

Intense efforts within the mobile telecommunications sector have lead to the development of a wide range of wireless systems such as Cellular, Wireless Local Area Networks and Broadcast as well as their associated equipments. In order to optimise resource usage, increase network/equipment capabilities and versatility, scalable and reconfigurable infrastructure and devices are foreseen. The presented research targets the development of a flexible, modular and evolutionary prototyping environment in order to illustrate the vision of End-to-End Reconfigurability (E 2 R).
