The Application of Software Defined Radio in a Cooperative Wireless Network

This article describes the use of Software Defined Radio over the Software Controlled Radio in a cooperative wireless network in an OFDM based downlink scenario. The article argues that although the state of the art of SCR is considered superior with respect to implementation factors such as complexity, cost and efficiency, the SDR offers a degree of flexibility together with the use of cooperative wireless networks that proves a potential to outweigh the disadvantages traditionally associated with SDR implementations.
