[edit] Welcome to the FlexNets Initiative
FlexNets (Flexible Wireless Communications Systems and Networks) is an open-source research initiative that explores new means for leveraging the flexibility in radio communications. It provides a platform for collaborative research efforts on software-defined radio (SDR), cognitive radio, and similar concepts that promote flexibility in wireless communications.
The mission of FlexNets is easing the design, development, and deployment of flexible radio communications systems and networks. FlexNets provides software tools for sharing hardware and software resources. It facilitates introducing real-time computing resource management approaches and testing them in different SDR scenarios.
[edit] News
* A new ALOE version [wiki:ALOEOFDMDemo has been relased!]. Features: improved performance, reduced overhead, USRP support, improved GUI signal visualization, OFDM demo application 2-20 MHz bandwidth (128-2048 FFT size) and many more.
* We will be on the COST-TERRA summer school in Dublin, on June 25
* We just created a google groups at https://groups.google.com/group/flexnets. Sign up to receive ALOE updates and news.
