Abstract

        The investigation and assessment of information theoretic concepts for wireless resource management in real-world scenarios requires flexible testbeds with wide range of recon-figurable parameters. Thesefunctionalities are currently offered only by Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology based on general purpose hardware. In this paper a reconfigurable framework for adaptive OFDM transmission, named TIGR, is presented. Based on combination of GNU Radio platform and CORBA communication model, TIGR allows for capacity achieving OFDM-based data transmission between two or more network nodes with optimally configured transmission parameters for given system constraints. Furthermore, a highly reconfigurable framework with large set of adaptable parameters allows for implementation and experimental evaluation of various transmission strategies for different classes of given requirements.
