= Welcome to '''FLEXNets''' Projects Page =

'''FLEXNets''' '''(Flexible Wireless Systems & Networks)''' is an open source initiative where to explores and leverage the flexibility of radio communication systems. It must be understood as a tool to strength the collaboration in flexibility research for Wireless Communication Networks. This flexibility could be based on the Software Radio and Cognitive Radio concepts and approaches and therefore FLEXNets provides strong support to them. 

The mission of '''FLEXNets''' is to ease the design, development, and deployment of new radio wireless systems by means of sharing hardware and software resources to facilitate the introduction and testing,  for research purposes, of real-time algorithms or strategies on complex wireless scenario.

'''FLEXNets''' is divided into several subprojects, each one of them related with another aspect of flexibility. The following projects are currently in progress:

  * [wiki:P-HAL-OE ALOE]: '''Abstraction Layer & Operating Environment''' (former PHAL-OE, Platform and Hardware Layer Operating Environment) is a lightweight software layer that extends flexibility by incorporating abstraction mechanisms and execution environment functionalities for a cluster of heterogeneous processors. 

  * [wiki:ModRCommHW FlexHW]: '''Modular Radio Communication HWardware''' is a repository of hardware designs that are freely available.

  * [wiki:FlexWaves FlexWaves]: '''Flexible Radio Waves''' is a repository folder of available software modules for different radio waveforms. UMTS and WiMAX are currently available.

  * [wiki:ResourceManagement FlexCRM]: '''Flexible Computing Resource Management for SDR systems''' focuses on the development of a complete computing resource management (CRM) framework that addresses the computing resource management issues of heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms and the real-time computing requirements of waveforms.
