We leveraged MATLAB’s object-oriented programming capabilities to implement a “ping-pong” demonstration with an adaptive waveform development toolbox. The “ping-pong” application consists of two users passing a message back and forth over-the-air while simultaneously performing channel measurements and spectral sensing. This configuration is depicted in Figures 8 and 9. The adaptive waveform toolbox includes basic dynamic spectrum access, frequency-hopping, dynamic forward error correction (FEC), and modulation schemes, all of which are prescribed automatically by a protocol recommendation engine (PRE). This engine optimizes the waveform properties throughout the demonstration, adapting to changes in received SNR, spectral opportunities, and channel impairments. This capability is currently supported by the genie channel.

N2 - Implementing new RF applications has traditionally required significant time and expertise, even for relatively simple algorithms. Software-defined radios (SDRs) have recently enabled rapid implementation and validation of RF applications without specialized hardware or advanced programming skills. We further facilitate this rapid application development by constructing WISCANet - a diverse network of commercial SDRs with specialized control software. WISCANet automatically configures these SDRs and controls transmit and receive events with minimal user input. This allows users to rapidly implement over-the-air RF applications by simply defining the baseband processing chain in software. Furthermore, WISCANet emulates real-time operations, which allows users to test real-time applications without the usual complications such as processing speed or hardware limitations. In this paper, we present recent improvements to the WISCA Software-Defined Radio Network (SDR-N). These improvements include configurable and flexible multi-channel phase coherence and support for both MATLAB and Python applications. The open source release of this software may be found on GitHub at: https://github.com/WISCA.
