Klappentext Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a hot area in telecommunications and is one of the most important topics of research in the field of mobile and personal communications. Software Defined Radio: Architectures, Systems and Functions presents new research in wireless communications. It deals with reconfigurability aspects in various layers on the network and terminals as well as the introduction of reconfigurability management middleware and protocol adaptability mechanisms. These have become the key factors for the support of flexible and adaptable service provision to mobile users. Key features include: Summarises Europe's extensive IST research programme on software defined radio Provides a comprehensive view on reconfigurability in three very active research projects: CAST (Configurable radio with Advanced Software Technology) MOBVIAS (Downloadable Mobile Value Added Services through Software Radio and Switching Integrated Platforms) and TRUST (Transparently Re-configurable Ubiquitous Terminal) /SCOUT (Smart User-Centric Communication Environment). Describes the reconfigurable systems in a heterogeneous environment Deals with the user requirements for SDR terminals Explains the need for network reconfigurability management Discusses adaptive protocols Presents a framework for charging and billing for reconfigurable service Logical and well written this third volume in the 'Wiley Series in Software Radio' is aimed primarily at professional researchers and wireless manufacturers and operators. It will also be valuable reading for senior undergraduate, postgraduate students on mobile and wireless communications courses, as academic research in the field of software defined radio and reconfigurable radio has developed greatly in recent years. Zusammenfassung SDR is viewed as the enabler of global roaming and a platform for the introduction of new technologies and services into existing live networks. This book discusses the requirements for reconfigurability. It introduces network architectures and functions for reconfigurable terminals. It deals with reconfiguration in the network.
