| Abstract | Software Defined Radios (SDR) can provide the protocol engineer with wireless test-beds that are fully programmable at the DLC, MAC and PHY. The benefit of this flexibility highly depends on the performance and usability of the specific SDR. In this paper we study the performance and implementational cost of a wireless testbed based on a specific SDR, the GNU Software Radio (GSR) [1]. We implemented a complete trans-ceiver chain [2] which we characterize by implementation complexity. Further, we measure the performance of the testbed running this chain. We found that the GSR platform sup-ports the programmer with a sophisticated SDR programming environment, resulting in low implementational cost. However, this benefit has to be paid for by overhead and some runtime environment idiosyncrasies, resulting in a low system performance. |
