Here’s CTVR’s Paul Sutton describing how cyclostationary signatures can be used for network formation, rendezvous, and link maintenance in a dynamic spectrum access network. The application here is media streaming. We have been exhibiting this at the 2008 Software-Defined Radio Forum (SDR Forum) conference in Washington DC.

This is actually two demonstrations in one:

1. Our reconfigurable radio plaform called Implementing Radio in Software (IRIS) is being used for the cylcostationary signatures-based OFDM transceiver chain.
2. The IBM Cell broadband engine in the form of a Playstation 3 is being used for the cyclostationary feature analysis signal processing and Matlab is being used purely for the visualisation.
