Green software defined radios: enabling seamless connectivity while saving on hardware and energy

The increasing need for functional flexibility (the number of wireless standards is large and expected to grow) and the exploding cost of system-on-chip design will make implementation of wireless standards on reconfigurable radios the only viable option in the future. Software Defined Radios (SDRs) will offerhigher flexibility at lower cost. Moreover, they are key enablers in the realization of cognitive radios, which will enable more efficient use of network and spectral resources. Green SDRs will be essential, to save on crucial and scarce resources: energy and spectrum. ‘Green Software Defined Radios’ gives insight in the trends asking for green SDRs ‘Green software defined radios’, efficiently using energy and spectrum, will be crucial to maintain and improve wireless services in the future Insight in trends, challenges, future evolution of (flexible) radios Comprehensive overview of technological solutions, rangingfrom RF front-end to dgitial baseband, hardware and software solutions, and intelligent controllers INDICE: 1 The wireless and technology scene. 2 Green Software Defined Radios. 3 Software Defined Radio Front-ends. 4 SDR Baseband platforms. 5 Software:fuel for Green SDRs. 6 Cross layer optimization. 7 Towards cognitive radios. 8 Conclusions and outlook.
