Cognitive Radio (CR) / Software-defined radio (SDR)

• Wikipedia

Software-defined radio (SDR) is a radio communication system where components that have been traditionally implemented in hardware (e.g. mixers, filters, amplifiers, modulators/demodulators, detectors, etc.) are instead implemented by means of software on a personal computer or embedded system. Software radios have significant utility for the military and cell phone services, both of which must serve a wide variety of changing radio protocols in real time. In the long term, software-defined radios are to become the dominant technology in radio communications. SDRs, along with software defined antennas are the enablers of the cognitive radio.

GNU Radio

is a free & open-source software development toolkit that provides signal processing blocks to implement software radios. It can be used with readily-available low-cost external RF hardware to create software-defined radios, or without hardware in a simulation-like environment.

Deepwave Digital Systems

Enabling deep learning and AI at the edge of wireless systems. GPUs are extremely well suited for processes that are highly parallel. The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is one of the most common techniques in signal processing and happens to be a highly parallel algorithm. In this blog post the Deepwave team walks you though how to leverage the embedded GPU built into the AIR-T to perform high-speed FFTs without the computational bottleneck of a CPU and without having to experience the long development cycle associated with writing VHDL code for FPGAs. By leveraging the GPU on the AIR-T, you get the best of both worlds: fast development time and high speed processing. A familiar tool to anyone working in the wireless domain, GNU Radio allows signal processing experts to tie together blocks of functionality using an intuitive GUI. Many of the “in the weeds” details regarding the software implementation are well abstracted so the user can focus on the algorithm instead.Once an algorithm has been optimized (or a pre-trained algorithm has been downloaded by a 3rd party), the user will reference it in Deepwave’s GR-WAVELEARNER software that provides a TensorRT Inference block for GNU Radio Companion (GRC)

Stanford Seminar - Promise of 5G Wireless – The Journey Begins Arogyaswami Paulraj Stanford University October 3, 2019 Professor Emeritus Arogyaswami Paulraj, Stanford University, is a pioneer of Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) wireless communications, a technology break through that enables improved wireless performance. MIMO is now incorporated into all new wireless systems. Paulraj is the author of over 400 research papers, two text books and a co-inventor in 79 US patents. Paulraj has won over a dozen awards, notably the National Inventors Hall of Fame (USPTO), Marconi Prize and Fellowship, 2014 and the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal, 2011. He is a fellow of eight scientific / engineering national academies including the US, China, India and Sweden. He is a fellow of IEEE and AAAS. In 1999, Paulraj founded Iospan Wireless Inc. – which developed and established MIMO-OFDMA wireless as the core 4G technology. Iospan was acquired in by Intel Corporation in 2003. In 2004, he co-founded Beceem Communications Inc. The company became the market leader in 4G-WiMAX semiconductor and was acquired by Broadcom Corp. in 2010. In 2014 he founded Rasa Networks to develop Machine Learning tools for WiFi Networks. The company was acquired HPE in 2016. During his 30 years in the Indian (Navy) (1961-1991), he founded three national level laboratories in India and headed one of India’s most successful military R&D projects – APSOH sonar. He received over a dozen awards (many at the national level) in India including the Padma Bhushan, Ati Vishist Seva Medal and the VASVIK Medal.

5G-IoT-Edge-ML/AI: Technologies That Will Transform Digi International Inc. 5G networks are being deployed, and we believe that 5G, IoT, edge compute, machine learning and artificial intelligence will combine to create the perfect technological storm – in a good way! In this video Digi engineering director Harald Remmert describes how low-cost IoT devices combined with the huge capacity of 5G will transform society, and how you can leverage 4G LTE today.

5G: The perfect storm and enabler of the next wave of AI Webinar hosted by Norwegian Cognitive Center on September 16 2020. How does 5G relate and accelerate new and emerging technologies, AI, ML and industry 4.0? 5G will come as a service offering, but it is also a technology. Both will, for a number of reasons, be disruptive and can be utilized for new and enhanced services. 5G will bring us and our IoT devices closer and more connected. It will also change the way we work, play, think and plan. Join us at this webinar to further understand the changes, enhancements and opportunities 5G will bring. Speaker: Ingebrigt Lunde is Project Manager at Nordic 5G Consortium: Ingebrigt holds a M.Sc. in Computer Science. He has previously worked with research and development for 10 years in Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), University of Bergen, establishing commercial internet in Norway and for the last 25 years in TV 2 Norway, designing and building the IP infrastructure and production and lately new production models. He was the project manager for the groundbreaking and award nominated TV 2 Hockey national wide NDI based production network system.

Why China can take a lead in 5G and AI technology application China is among the world’s first countries to apply 5G to business services. China’s telecommunications guides the global 5G-technology trend. An open China is becoming the “playground” for global AI businesses and a key landmark for a joint exploration of AI’s direction of end development. Check out this video and have a look at why China can take a lead in 5G and AI technology application. Subscribe to us on YouTube: http://goo.gl/lP12gA
