Standardizing smart antenna API for SDR networks
نویسنده
چکیده
T Smart Antenna Working Group of the SDR Forum is developing an application-programming interface (API) supporting interoperability and compatibility of various kinds of smart antenna systems operating in a software-defi ned radio (SDR) network following an open-architecture model. The smart antenna API consists of three components: 1. SAControl component is used for controlling the smart antenna system. 2. SAAlgorithmDevice component is used for executing various algorithms such as beamforming, direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation, space-time coding (STC), channel estimation and spatial multiplexing. 3. SASynchronization component is used for calibration. This article introduces the smart antenna API, illustrating its use as a standard model and standard service in advanced wireless networks, and defi ning a roadmap for the API for additional standardization.

متن کاملCapacity Enhancement of Ad Hoc Networks using a New Beamforming Scheme Based on ESPAR
This paper proposes a new smart antenna beamforming scheme based on electronically steerable parasitic array radiator (ESPAR). The proposed method is capable of providing better capacity compared to the conventional ESPAR. The termination of each antenna element in this structure comprises a PIN diode in addition to a varactor. Using PIN diode besides the varactor provides more degrees of freed...
