Abstract

Spectrum sensing is a key aspect in the realization of opportunistic radios, which will allow a significantly more efficient usage of the scarce spectrum resources. This paper presents a solution to upgrade mobile devices with spectrum sensing capabilities. A versatile digital component is proposed to meet a wide variety of use cases, at low cost and low power overhead. Complementary reconfigurable analog front-ends make the radio ready for upgrading wireless connectivity thanks to availability of information on spectrum occupancy.
