SOFTWARE RADIO AND COGNITIVE RADIO RESEARCH

 

Software radio and cognitive radio are advanced technologies for future wireless communications systems. This research includes several project modules.

 

(1) TEST BED DEVELOPMENT

Use GNU Radio software and USRP hardware modules to development a cognitive radio test bed. Implement and test cognitive radio algorithms for efficient and reliable wireless communications. C++ is used in software implementation.
This project is in support of the Stevens strategic themes: Software Engineering and Cyber Security and STEM. Specific outcomes required from this research are; prototype development, preparation of a white paper, and/or conference presentation.

(2) INTERACTIVE SIMULATION PLATFORM FOR COGNITIVE RADIO NETWORKS

Java/Java Scripts or Matlab to develop a simulation platform with interactive GUI to model and simulate cognitive radio networks for both military and civilian application scenarios. Issues related to wireless communications throughput, reliability, security, and energy efficiency will be investigated.
This project is in support of the Stevens strategic themes: Software Engineering and Cyber Security and STEM. Specific outcomes required from this research are; prototype development, preparation of a white paper, and/or conference presentation.

(3) MATHEMATICAL MODELING OF INTERFERENCE IN COGNITIVE RADIO NETWORKS

Use of calculus and probability theory in modeling and analyzing cognitive radio networks. Different interference and malicious attack scenarios will be examined. Algorithms to mitigate interference and counter malicious attacks will be developed.
This project is in support of the Stevens strategic themes: Software Engineering and Cyber Security and STEM. Specific outcomes required from this research are; prototype development, preparation of a white paper, and/or conference presentation.
