A Wifi interface connects the RPX-100 with the LAN for remote operation, debugging and programming. The
software id written C++ using liquid-dsp libraries. The concpet of the WRAN software uses the IEEE
802.22 frame structure for prototyping to make use of super
frames and preambles for cognitive channel management, which allows a dynamic resource allocation between base
stations, but also between multiple users at one base station.
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
(OFDMA) is used in the upper layers, as Modulation techniques QPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM is supported.
The
software will support a connection-oriented MAC layer with cognitive functionality for dynamic and adaptive
scheduling and management of coexistence of base stations in the same time-frequency domain (superframes).
