ISBN : 978-2-84813-180-1The development of flexible radio leads to evolving wireless networks. This characteristic enables more efficient and smarter networks. Flexible radio is not a precise definition. It can be used to describe a software implementation of radio operations, as well as a hardware implementation based on configurable hardware coprocessors. It can also refer to heterogeneous implementations. It describes any implementation which can evolve. During this PhD, we focused on two different aspects of flexible radio. First, the use of graphical processors for flexible radio (and especially software radio) is studied. These execution targets enable impressive performances, when studying raw attainable processing throughput, throug...
