Softwar e Radio Arc hitecture: Object-Oriented Approac hes to Wireless Systems Engineering Joseph Mitola III Copyright c !2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. ISBNs: 0-471-38492-5 (Hardback); 0-471-21664-X (Electronic) 16 Reference Architecture This chapter provides a consolidated view of the software-radio architecture models developed throughout the text for convenient reference. This consists of a radio platform view (Figure 16-1) and a software components view (Fig- ure 16-2). Figure 16-1 Radio platform view. The radio platform view shows how radio infrastructure can be based on CORBA/IDL. Using wrappers for FPGA personalities and ASICs, it can also deliver cutting-edge performance efficiently. 493 494 REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE Figure 16-2 Software components view. The software components view shows how objects may be associated with hardware and protocol stack layers. This facilitates the insertion of hardware and/or software components that enhance radio functionality without causing ripple-ef fects into other objects in the system. .
