Abstract :
In this paper we introduce an architecture for wireless access on two-tiered heterogeneous clouds. We first discuss the concept of Software Defined Infrastructure (SDI), and role of Software Defined Radio in SDI, and review relevant literature. Next we present the architecture design for a Software Defined Wireless Access module in detail and provide measurements for the implemented solution. While the architecture introduced is capable of handling protocols such as LTE and WiFi, GSM is used for in our implementation.
