Software radio promises substantial benefits to real-world systems by making them more flexible, interoperable, and easily upgradeable. Interoperability and upgradeability are particularly important to first responders, who need to quickly establish communications with a diverse and predictable set of agencies in a very short amount of time.This project is developing new computational models and architectures for software radio. While software radio systems have received considerable attention, many of the design methods in use today are ad hoc. The goal is to develop a principled approach that works from models of computation through synthesis down to architecture-related cost models. This approach treats reconfiguration, the reallocation of architectural resources on-the-fly during execution, as a first-class design concept. The new methodology provides an abstract model for software radio algorithms that is suitable for algorithm designers as well as cost models that allow sophisticated architectural optimizations and hardware/software co-design. The project validates its models of computation and implementation models using realistic systems. As part of this project, the team is developing curricular materials on software radio, including both lecture materials and labs that provide a complete, senior-level capstone design experience. This project also enables research and education collaborations between George Fox University students and faculty and their counterparts at the University of Maryland at College Park and the Georgia Institute of Technology.

软件无线电使现实世界的系统更加灵活、可互操作和易于升级，从而有望给它们带来实质性的好处。互操作性和可升级性对急救人员尤其重要，他们需要在很短的时间内与不同的和可预测的机构快速建立通信。该项目正在为软件无线电开发新的计算模型和体系结构。虽然软件无线电系统受到了相当大的关注，但目前使用的许多设计方法都是临时的。我们的目标是开发一种原则性的方法，从计算模型到综合，再到与建筑相关的成本模型。这种方法将重新配置，即在执行过程中动态重新分配体系结构资源，视为一流的设计概念。新的方法提供了适用于算法设计者的软件无线电算法的抽象模型，以及允许复杂的架构优化和硬件/软件协同设计的成本模型。该项目使用实际系统验证其计算模型和实现模型。作为该项目的一部分，该团队正在开发关于软件无线电的课程材料，包括提供完整的高级顶石设计体验的课程材料和实验室。该项目还促进了乔治福克斯大学学生和教职员工与马里兰大学帕克分校和佐治亚理工学院的同行之间的研究和教育合作。
