'''FlexNets''' '''(Flexible Wireless Systems & Networks)''' is an open source initiative that explores and tries to leverage the flexibility of radio communication systems. This flexibility is based on the SDR concept and incorporates cognitive radio approaches and strategies. Resource management at all layers of the radio system-hardware, software, service, etc.-is an important issue that '''FlexNets''' addresses.

The mission of '''FlexNets''' is easing the design, development, and deployment of new radio environments. It facilitates sharing hardware and software resources, introducing and testing real-time algorithms or strategies. '''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''' (previously PHAL-OE, Platform and Hardware Layer Operating Environment) is a lightweight software layer that incorporates abstraction layer and execution environment functionalities for a cluster of heterogeneous processors, including GPPs, DSPs, and FPGAs. It facilitates the deployment of software modules, running on different processors while ensuring that real-time constraints will be met. It also provides mechanisms for monitoring and managing the available computing resources.

  * [wiki:ModRCommHW ModRCommHW]: '''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.
