Software-Defined Radios Role in Internet of Things Applications
Current trends require monitoring and communication on several different frequencies (HF, VHF, and UHF) and using several different protocols (GSM, CDMA, LTE, WiFi, Bluteooth, etc.). If the system is both highly flexible and adaptable, software-defined radios enable users to not only tune into one of the desired frequencies and support only one protocol, but the ability to monitor a large portion of the spectrum while supporting multiple protocols.
Wireless communication system is the essential part for IoT infrastructure, which acts as the bridge for dual directional communication for data collection and control message delivery. It can be applied to various IoT applications, including mission critical industries, such as power grid, oil field, and cases in our routine life like the smart city. The common challenges and issues on wireless communication for IoT applications: A) Huge volume of sensors with varied types and distributed sites need to be connected, managed and maintained, B) High reliable communication will be required under the environment with lots of interferences, Available spectrum resources will be very limited for new IoT wireless network, C) For harsh outdoor area, low power consumption and simple architecture will be required, In harsh outdoor environment, the installation and maintenance will be more challenging In order to solve those issues, SDR wireless platform can play important role for IoT to support the optimized communication from the senor network to the wide area radio network. The approach is to utilize the IT-based software-defined radio (SDR) technology to complete the entire base band processing on IT platform with multi-cores processors. The acceleration technologies, such as SIMD, vector processing, parallel processing, etc., have been used to speed up the signal processing with extremely low latency. Meanwhile, some wireless optimization technologies are also applied to the whole system, including the dynamic spectrum allocation, interference mitigation, and energy efficiency design.

Software-Defined Radios Role in Internet of Things Applications
Software defined radio was my dream project during 1980. . The term SDR (Software Defined Radio) using digital processing of sampled analog signals was coined by me at RCA, New Jersey during 1980’s, I have presented the first public software radio initiative reported on Feb 26, 1985 as a US Classified Secret Session (Digital HF Radio: “A Sampling of Techniques presented at 34d Int. Conf. on HF Commn. Systems and Tech.”, UK, Feb 1985).
Unlike conventional radios, which are designed to work with specific waveforms (AM and FM, cellular, digital TV, and Wi-Fi, for example), software defined radios can send and receive many different waveforms, and toggle between them on the fly by means of software code that defines their behavior at any particular moment. Wireless networks have evolved from 1G to 4G networks, allowing smart devices to become important tools in daily life. The 5G network is a revolutionary technology that can change consumers' Internet use habits, as it creates a truly wireless environment. It is faster, with better quality, and is more secure. Most importantly, users can truly use network services anytime, anywhere. With increasing demand, the use of bandwidth and frequency spectrum resources is beyond expectations.
Current radios utilize 4th generation SDR (Software Defined Radio) technologies in which components/modules that have been typically implemented in hardware are replaced by software on an embedded computing device In all previous generations, there was a single dominating technology, i.e., Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) for 1G, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) for 2G, Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) for 3G, and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) for 4G.

NJ, USA, Professor at Oradea University, Romania, honorary professor at IIT Delhi, India; President of Communications Consulting Corporation, FL, USA, and a partner in Rohde & Schwarz, Munich, Germany. Dr. Rohde is past member of the board of directors and a former executive vice president of Ansoft Corporation, now it is Ansys. He is an IEEE life Fellow, published over 300 scientific papers in professional journals and conferences, co-authored of 12 technical books and book chapters, over 3 dozens patents into his credits and recipients of more than dozen scientific and IEEE society awards. In 2006, Dr. Rohde was honored as Microwave Legend by Microwave & RF Magazine; the selection was based on global voting. In 2009, Dr. Rohde was selected in the list of Divine Innovators of November 2011, Microwave Journal. Based on Dr. Rohde’s 5-decade of scientific creativity and pioneer contributions in the field of microwave and antenna, IEEE has established 2 awards on his name “IEEE Ulrich L. Rohde Innovative Conference Paper Awards on Antenna Measurements and Applications” and IEEE Ulrich L. Rohde Innovative Conference Paper Awards on Computational Techniques in Electromagnetics”. His hobbies are sailing, U.S. Merchant Marine Officer, Master of Steam or Motor Vessels, photography and ham radio (Dj2LR and N1UL).
