Abstract:
SDR attempts to implement baseband processing in a communication subsystem in software. Software implementation includes signal processing, waveform modulation, and protocol stacks. It can replace the typical process of implementing signal processing functions in DSP or FPGA. Since software modules can easily be reused in a different protocols, SDR has a potential for rapid implementation of new communication standards and protocols.
In this presentation, SDR is explained with its objectives and benefits. SDR is still in its early stage. Vanu Anywave system is commercially designed for wireless basestations. The architecture, components, and experiences of Vany Anywave system will be presented.
As more multicore systems are produced, parallel programming is gaining attentions. Parallel programming is suitable for SDR implementations. Interests in parallel programming driven by multicore systems will be briefly touched on.
Dr. Byung G. Kim received a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from Univ. of Mass. in Amherst in Aug. 1980. He was a faculty member at Wright State Univ. in Dayton, Ohio until 1984, and has been a faculty member at Univ. of Mass. in Lowell. He was a visiting professor at Univ. of Twente in the Netherlands in 1993-1994.
His research interests are in theoretic aspects of network traffic management, communication protocols and multimedia communications.
His most recent interests are in parallelization of video compression algorithms.
