GNU Radio and USRP for Problem-Based Learning in Communications: Case Studies in Cellular Phone Jamming and Modulation Classification
نویسندگان
چکیده
The GNU Radio and USRP are important tools that can be used by students to learn the theory of various areas, such as digital signal processing and telecommunications. This work presents how the GNU Radio and USRP has been used to transmit/receive signals in wired and wireless channels for a wide range of frequencies. Two case studies are discussed: cellular phone jamming and modulation classification. When dealing with these two (and other) topics, the students get involved with several important theoretical as well as practical issues. The work summarizes strategies to benefit from the combination of GNU Radio and USRP and increase their impact on engineering education.

متن کاملPerformance of IEEE 802.11 under Jamming
We study the performance of the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol under a range of jammers that covers both channel-oblivious and channel-aware jamming. We consider two channel-oblivious jammers: a periodic jammer that jams deterministically at a specified rate, and a memoryless jammer whose interfering signals arrive according to a Poisson process. We also develop new models for channel-aware jamming, ...
متن کاملOpportunistic Spectrum Access Learning Proof of Concept
This paper presents the results of first ever implementation of learning algorithm for opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) in lab conditions. The OSA scheme consists of two USRP N210 platforms, one acting as primary users of a primary network and another as secondary user. Primary user network generates carriers with a pre-defined probability of occupancy through an OFDM modulation scheme imple...
متن کاملVideo transmission using USRP
The project envisions a real-time video transmission between two points using GNU Radio and Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP). In our project, a video signal which could be a realtime signal from a camera or simply a video file is modulated and processed by GNU radio and transmitted using a USRP. There is a USRP receiver node which receives the signal and GNU radio demodulates and re-p...
متن کاملSpectrum Sensing Measurement using GNU Radio and USRP Software Radio Platform
Spectrum utilization can be significantly improved by adopting cognitive radio (CR) technology. Such radios are able to sense the spectral environment and use this information to opportunistically provide wireless links that meet the user communications requirements optimally. To achieve the goal of cognitive radio, it is a fundamental requirement that the cognitive user (CU) performs spectrum ...
