Abstract

A method for multi-standard Software defined radio (SDR) base-band processing is provided. The method comprises the steps of: constituting SDR software framework, which includes SDR kernel structure, SDR software modules, other application parts and an operating system; extracting protocol software modules of different standards and reclassifying them as dedicated system libraries, common system libraries and common algorithm libraries, and then storing them into the software modules; adding a scheduler to the SDR kernel structure, the scheduler structuring a concrete base-band application software module by the dedicated system libraries, common system libraries and common algorithm libraries, using Process and Sequence; and, defining SDR hardware platform, applying the concrete base-band application software which is structured by the scheduler on the SDR hardware platform, so as to complete concrete base-band processing of the wireless communication system.

Claims (15)

1. A multi-standard software defined radio (SDR) base-band processing method, characterized in that said method comprising the steps of:

a) constituting SDR software framework, which includes SDR kernel structure, SDR software modules, other application parts and an operating system;

b) extracting protocol software modules of different standards and reclassifying the modules based on the modules' relation to the different standards as dedicated system libraries, common system libraries and common algorithm libraries, and then storing them into the software modules;

c) adding a scheduler to the SDR kernel structure, the scheduler structuring a concrete base-band application software module by the dedicated system libraries, common system libraries and common algorithm libraries, using a Process protocol description that describes which of the reclassified libraries and tasks correspond to signals to be processed on a SDR hardware platform;

d) defining the SDR hardware platform, by applying the concrete base-band application software which is structured by the scheduler on the SDR hardware platform, so as to complete concrete base-band processing of the wireless communication system.

2. A multi-standard Software defined radio base-band processing method as defined in claim 1 characterized in that in step b), the dedicated is system library is comprised of dedicated functions possessed by an air interface of a certain standard.

3. A multi-standard Software defined radio base-band processing method as defined in claim 1 , characterized in that in step b) the common system library comprises common functional modules in a processing link.

4. A multi-standard Software defined radio base-band processing method as defined in claim 1 , characterized in that in step b), the common algorithm libraries comprise algorithm with a wide application in science and communication field.

5. A multi-standard Software defined radio base-band processing method as defined in claim 1 , characterized in that step c) further comprises a step as defining the combination of one library component and some library components in said dedicated system library, said common system library and said common algorithm library as Task.

6. A multi-standard Software defined radio base-band processing method as defined in claim 5 , characterized in that step c)further comprises a step as defining one task Sequence consisting of a couple of tasks as one Process.

7. A multi-standard Software defined radio base-band processing method as defined in claim 6 , characterized in that the Process protocol description describes which tasks a Process includes, which library components said tasks correspond to, on which apparatus said library components are arranged, the property of the library components and the corresponding library files.

8. A multi-standard Software defined radio base-band processing method as defined in claim 7 , characterized in that having completed defining task and Process, step c)further comprises the steps of: reading and analyzing Process description file, and then loading and arranging the library component required; said scheduler scheduling and executing one task; said scheduler releasing the task executed, and then selecting a successor and executing it; releasing Process after all tasks of one Process have been executed.

9. A multi-standard Software defined radio base-band processing method as defined in claim 8 , characterized in that in step c), said scheduler can dynamically insert, modify and delete said base-band software module during operating protocol software.

10. A multi-standard Software defined radio base-band processing method as defined in claim 8 , characterized in that said scheduler may arrange said library components on one or a couple of hardware apparatuses in accordance with services requirements.
