Description
Since the advent of mobile communication, the growth in demand for wireless communication devices and associated spectrum needs has been unstoppable. As a result, due to limited spectrum availability and inefficient management of assigned frequencies, spectrum sharing has steadily grown in importance and become a necessary solution to various capacity constraints. To support new developments in spectrum sharing, research in spectrum monitoring and occupancy measurements have become most valuable. GNU Radio offers a significant opportunity to quickly develop and prototype new research in spectrum monitoring, sharing, and related radio frequency research that can support future deployments. GNU Radio's packaged capabilities combined with its compatibility with a multitude of Software Defined Radio hardware OEMs allow spectrum sharing research to be conducted nimbly and rapidly. To improve spectrum sharing and management, this research used GNU Radio in conjunction with Ettus USRP software defined radios to automate the collection of IQ data on a specified duty cycle. GNU Radio's ability to be quickly adapted to new situations was instrumental in multiple IQ data collections, providing valuable insights into shared bands in the Boulder, Colorado area.
