Abstract

A Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a radio communication system that has been typically implemented by means of software on a personal computer or embedded computing device. GNU Radio and Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP2) are the software part and hardware of a concrete realization of the SDR In this paper, we seek to explore the advantage of cooperative communication using the GNU Radio and USRP2. We will compare the system performance with and without cooperative communication. Quality of Service (QoS) in terms of Packet Loss Rate (PLR) is investigated and analyzed.
