Cognitive Radio Network Testbed (CORNET)
The Virginia Tech CORNET is a collection of high performance servers, unique and extremely flexible RF hardware, and software-defined radio architectures. The CORNET graduate students and staff have integrated these pieces into a resource for next-generation wireless system developers around the world to rapidly prototype, extensively test, and compare Cognitive Radio techniques, Software-Defined Radio components, and Dynamic Spectrum Access technologies on a larger scale that is outside of the traditional simulation environment.
Primary Testbed Characteristics
CORNET has many attributes that make it a unique resource for wireless system developers.
- 48 Software-Defined Radio nodes
- RF portion based upon the Universal Software Radio Peripheral 2 (USRP2)
- Custom developed USRP2 daughterboard based on the Motorola RFIC4
- High performance servers for signal processing tasks
- Distributed node topology throughout the Virginia Tech ICTAS research building
- Web-based reservation system for easy access to testbed schedule and reservations
- Remotely accessible for anyone to enjoy!
