GENI Cognitive Radio Kit

The scope of this project is to develop a set of ruggedized, expandable and configurable multiradio cognitive radio systems that is part of the ​GENI COGRADIO project. The platform will facilitate experimentation by GENI researchers who have only limited experience with hardware development tools so that new algorithms can be tested and validated on a real hardware platform, with no or little hardware development skills.

These systems are based on two platform designs that span the full range of requirements for cognitive radio systems:

• a stand-alone cognitive radio system
• a full scale, infrastructure class cognitive radio system.

The platforms consist of:

• Commodity, off-the-shelf Field Programmable Gate Array systems for digital signal processing
• Range of RF cards
• Firmware - implements radio and system control functions in both FPGAs and on the host computer.

Applications

Following is a list of applications developed/being developed using the OCRP kit

• Waveform Generator
• Denial of Service Radio
