FPGA-Based Spectrum Sensing for OpenBTS


Professor Dr. Magdi Fikri&Dr. Mohamed Bakr

ABSTRACT:
Not only is the price of building a new mobile BTS is very
high, but also acquiring the permits needed to build a
new mobile BTS takes a lot of time, effort and money. In
addition to the previous problems, finding a suitable
place to build the BTS has proved to be a dilemma.
The OpenBTS project helps in overcoming the
mentioned problems as it consumes a very small area

|
and its cost is very economic. This project will be
of great importance to the mobile communication
market as it will decrease the costs and ease the process
of building a new BTS.

Actually, we are building a new type of cellular


network that could be deployed and operated at
substantially lower cost than existing technologies and
generating an air interface that to a cell phone looks just
like any other GSM cellular network.

So far, we were
[Pick the able
FPGA-Based Spectrum Sensing for OpenBTSdate] to develop the standard
OpenBTS by performing FPGA-Based
Spectrum sensing using FFT algorithm.
Standard OpenBTS can now use these scanning results
to perform sophisticated channel allocation in both Up-
link and Down-link frequency of both GSM900 and
GSM1800 bands instead of the old dummy method of
channel allocation, this is a very important feature for
any BTS.
Doing so would help OpenBTS to choose the channel with
the least power, hence least interference and noise and
best quality.

CONCLUSION:
Our task was to scan the GSM 900 and GSM 1800
bands using FFT algorithm.
We chose the hardware approach (FPGA), we were
able to modify the area of the USRP standard FPGA
implementation by removing unnecessary modules to
have free logic elements to add the FFT module
|

keeping one receiving path and one transmitting path


without affecting OpenBTS function.
We used FFT IP MegaCore which has small area
compared to other FFT algorithms due to the limitation of
FPGA area, we verified the core functionality in both
software and hardware scopes:
 Software simulation verification by using
Modelsim.
 Hardware verification by using:
 NIOS II development kit and obtaining the FFT

output using JTAG. FPGA-Based S

 USRP and obtaining the FFT output using function


“usrp_rx_cfile” in GNURadio.
We fixed the VCO frequency value in the uplink
direction to 890 MHz by modifying driver source
code in both UHD and Libusrp.
