摘要： A communications system dynamically reconfigurable for RF bandwidth and modulation protocols is disclosed. A server comprises one or more radio head interface modules and a call processing software module adapted to communicate with each other. The call processing software is adapted to perform modulation and demodulation of voice and data streams using one or more air interface protocols. A radio head unit coupled to the radio head interface module communicates with one or more subscriber units. The radio head interface module receives either air interface protocol configuration information, or RF signal bandwidth allocation information, from the call processing software module for one or more communication channels, the information providing a timing trigger and a protocol or bandwidth for one or more communication channels. The radio head interface module reconfigures itself for one or more communications channels, based on the change instructed by the call processing software.

摘要： Systems and methods for maintaining data stream synchronization are provided. A system comprises one or more radio head interface modules and a call processing software module each adapted to communicate with each other. The call processing software module performs modulation and demodulation of voice and data streams using one or more air interface standards. The call processing software module communicates a forward data stream to a first radio head interface module. The forward data stream comprises a plurality of data samples representing voice and data streams and a plurality of fixed synchronization words. When the first radio head interface module does not observe the receipt of a first fixed synchronization word of the plurality of fixed synchronization words word from the call processing software module when expected, the first radio head interface module concludes that it has lost synchronization with the call processing software module.

摘要： Systems and methods for handling buffer overflows and underflows in a software defined radio are presented. A communications system comprises one or more radio head interface modules and a call processing software module. The radio head interface modules are adapted to communicate with the call processing software module. The call processing software module performs modulation and demodulation of voice and data streams and transmits complex RF data samples to the radio head interface modules. A first radio head interface module is adapted to create zero value data samples when complex RF data samples are not received from the call processing software module at an expected data sample rate. The first radio head interface module is further adapted to count zero value data samples created and discard a number of complex RF data samples based on the number of zero value data samples counted by the first radio head interface module.
