Abstract

In this paper, we present a general method to reconfigure a software defined radio (SDR) using a set of intelligent algorithms called a cognitive engine (CE) to create a cognitive radio (CR) that provides a user with a required quality of service (QoS). The proposed architecture relies on the CE to generate an XML document that describes the SDR behavior. An application programming interface (API) translates the XML document to the platform-specific commands to adjust the SDR. The API structure developed here will find initial applications in public safety and military communications to provide low-cost, multi-band, multi-mode operation for interoperability with SDR technology
