CorteXlab: An Open FPGA-based Facility for Testing SDR & Cognitive Radio Networks in a Reproducible Environment
Résumé
While many theoretical and simulation works have already highlighted the potential gain of cognitive radio, several technical issues still have to be overcome from an experimental viewpoint. This demo describes the process a user should follow to deploy his own experiment on CorteXlab testbed. Two typical scenarios involving several nodes are deployed in live. The first scenario is based on IEEE 802.15.4 communication between two picoSDR nodes. The second scenario is dealing with an avoiding-interference use case where the previous two picoSDRs are communicating while a cognitive MIMO-OFDM transceiver running on one picoSDR must avoid interference with them.
