NeTS-ProWin: An Open, Low Cost, High Quality Software Radio Platform and Testbed

NetTS-ProWin：一个开放的、低成本的、高质量的软件无线电平台和测试台JayLepreau，犹他大学奖0435485摘要这个项目的重点是软件无线电，包括硬件、软件和测试台管理组件。 它正在开发、打包、分发给研究人员，并在犹他州Emulab测试平台上部署，这是一个低成本、高性能的开放式软件无线电平台，“GNU Radio”，并扩展Emulab测试平台以支持它。GNU Radio的进一步开发是一个研究挑战，将导致对软件可编程无线电的更多理解：最大化可编程性，同时支持高性能和可靠的操作。 对于硬件来说，一个挑战是保持低成本，同时提供强大的设备。 该项目将推动可编程无线网络领域的研究。 GNU Radio硬件和软件的进一步开发，GNU Radio与Emulab的集成（用于研究人员的远程测试平台访问），以及Emulab系统的分发（由于空间共享限制，对于无线研究来说非常宝贵的本地实验）将是研究社区的重要资产。 公共域软件与廉价、灵活、可编程的硬件结合在一个可复制的网络测试平台中，对灵活的无线系统社区的发展至关重要。 这项工作还将以教程文章、示例代码和实验配置的形式制作教育材料，这些材料对进一步开展该领域的教育和研究至关重要。 该项目包含了在可编程无线电网络和频谱共享领域对研究界、行业和整个社会产生广泛影响所需的要素。

NeTS-ProWin: An Open, Low Cost, High Quality Software Radio Platform and TestbedJay Lepreau, University of UtahAward 0435485AbstractThis project is focused on software radio, with hardware, software, and testbed management components. It is developing, packaging, distributing to researchers, and deploying in the Utah Emulab testbed, a low-cost, high-performance, and open software radio platform, "GNU Radio," and extending the Emulab testbed to support it. Further development of GNU Radio is a research challenge that will lead to increased understanding of software-programmable radios: maximizing programmability while also supporting high performance and reliable operation. For the hardware, a challenge is keeping costs low while also providing a powerful device. The project will be an enabler of research in the area of programmable wireless networks. Further development of GNU Radio hardware and software, integration of GNU Radio into Emulab (for remote testbed access to researchers), and the distribution of Emulab systems (for local experiments invaluable for wireless research due to space sharing limitations) will be a significant asset to the research community. Public-domain software in conjunction with inexpensive, flexible, programmable hardware integrated within a replicable network testbed is critical to the progress of the flexible wireless systems community. This effort will also produce educational materials in the form of tutorial articles, sample code, and experiment configurations that are critical to furthering education and research in this area. This project contains the elements needed to achieve broad impact on the research community, industry, and society overall in the area of programmable wireless radio networks and spectrum sharing..
