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.

News

ALOE++-0.2 has been released

• ALOE++ is being designed under the OSLD Project supported by the NLnet Foundation. It will dramatically improve the signal processing performance while reducing the framework overhead. ALOE++ will be much easier to use and develop, encouraging cooperative development.
  • Check out the ALOE++ specs.

• New ALOE version with OFDM Demo has been relased! Features: improved performance, reduced overhead, USRP support, improved GUI signal visualization, OFDM demo with 2-20 MHz bandwidth allocation
