Abstract

This is a tutorial paper on the concept of flexible/reconfigurable radio systems and, especially, on the elements of flexibility residing in the PHYsical layer (PEW). It reviews past research efforts towards flexible radios and introduces the various ways in which a reconfigurable transceiver can be used to provide multi-standard capabilities, link adaptation and userlservice personalization. It overviews specific tools developed within two IST projects aiming at such flexible transceiver architectures and presents a specific example of a mode-selection algorithmic architecture which incorporates all the proposed tools. Thus, it serves to illustrate a baseband version of flexibility mechanisms.
