摘要:
Embodiments include processes, systems, and devices that allow a white space base station to request available frequency ranges for white space transmission in a local area. A white space finder service models a primary user device's transmission signal propagation area using terrain data associated with the local area of the primary user device. The white space finder service also determines, based on the location of the white space base station and the modeled propagation area, one or more locally available, non-interfering frequency ranges and provides them to the white space base station. The white space base station compares the provided frequency ranges to policies and selects one or more of the available frequencies that accommodate the policies. The white space base station also maps the transmission frequency ranges to virtual frequency ranges for transmission by a software-defined radio employing spectrum virtualization.

Embodiments include processes, systems, and devices for reshaping virtual baseband signals for transmission on non-contiguous and variable portions of a physical baseband, such as a white space frequency band. In the transmission path, a spectrum virtualization layer maps a plurality of transmission components associated with a transmission symbol produced by a physical layer protocol to sub-carriers of the allocated physical frequency band. The spectrum virtualization layer then outputs a physical transmission symbol composed of time-domain samples derived from the mapped frequency components and a cyclic prefix. In the receive path, a time-domain symbol received on the physical baseband is reshaped and equalized by the virtual spectrum layer in order to recompose a time-domain samples of a transmission stream in the virtual baseband.

A radio control board passes a plurality of digital samples between a memory of a computing device and a radio frequency (RF) transceiver coupled to a system bus of the computing device. Processing of the digital samples is carried out by one or more cores of a multi-core processor to implement a software-defined radio.

Implementations for retransmitting erroneous portions within a transmission frame are described. A sender transmits a transmission frame and the receiver performs error detection on portions of the transmission frame in order to determine if any are received in error. The receiver sets up a feedback channel and transmits acknowledgements to the receiver to indicate that one or more portions have been received and to identify any portions that are received with errors. At least some of the acknowledgements are transmitted prior to receipt of the entire transmission frame. The sender retransmits any portions that are identified as being erroneous within the transmission frame.

A radio control board exchanges data with a radio frequency (RF) front end using a messaging protocol over an interface that includes separate data and control channels. Training data can also be passed over the interface for tuning the clock phase.

An extensive use of look-up table (LUT) and single instruction multiple data (SIMD) in different algorithms in a software-defined radio (SDR) system is described. In particular, the LUT is used during spreading modulation, mapping and spreading, scrambling, de-scrambling, soft demapping, and the like. The SIMD is executed by a multi-core processor during implementation of a “min” operation to find an optimal path in a Trellis diagram for a Viterbi decoder.
