Software Defined Radio (SDR)


Software-Defined Radio (SDR) refers to the
technology wherein software modules running on a
generic hardware platform consisting of DSPs and/or
general purpose microprocessors are used to implement
radio functions such as generation of transmitted signal
(modulation) at transmitter and tuning/detection of
received radio signal (demodulation) at receiver.

Intuition of adaptive mode switching
An example of 2x2 MIMO vs 1x2 SIMO
Low spectral
efficiency is preferred
when the network is
underutilized.
SIMO is better!
High spectral
efficiency is preferred
when the network is
congested
