Abstract

System design of devices which support cognitive radio enabled for wireless communications is an area that has attracted a lot of attention in recent years. One of the main goals of designers of such devices is to develop systems that minimize interferences among users. Spectrum, frequencies, user behavior, radio architecture and network state are some of the important parameters that cognitive radio designers need to take into consideration when defining a model for communication system based on cognitive radio. However, the challenge to implement software-based solutions for cognitive radio networks still relies on the underlying hardware implementations. Programmable software-based solutions that implement hardware functions continue to be the emerging design trend because of their various benefits. This chapter reviews the various system design techniques that can be implemented with FPGA devices to support cognitive radio devices.
