“…It is worth noting that FPGA vendors, namely Intel [44] and Xilinx [78], are widening their product base with more SoCs and Multi-processor SoCs (MPSoCs) [103], due to the the growing demand for such devices. An example of an SDR realized on an MPSoC is the work by [104]. In a white paper, National Instruments (the company that owns USRP [17]) predicts that the future of SDRs is essentially a codesign implementation [105], especially with the introduction of FPGAs that are equipped with a large number of DSP slices for handling intensive signal processing tasks, as depicted in Figure 3.…”

Software-defined Radio (SDR) is a programmable transceiver with the capability of operating various wireless communication protocols without the need to change or update the hardware. Progress in the SDR field has led to the escalation of protocol development and a wide spectrum of applications, with more emphasis on programmability, flexibility, portability, and energy efficiency, in cellular, WiFi, and M2M communication. Consequently, SDR has earned a lot of attention and is of great significance to both academia and industry. SDR designers intend to simplify the realization of communication protocols while enabling researchers to experiment with prototypes on deployed networks. This paper is a survey of the state-of-theart SDR platforms in the context of wireless communication protocols. We offer an overview of SDR architecture and its basic components, then discuss the significant design trends and development tools. In addition, we highlight key contrasts between SDR architectures with regards to energy, computing power, and area, based on a set of metrics. We also review existing SDR platforms and present an analytical comparison as a guide to developers. Finally, we recognize a few of the related research topics and summarize potential solutions.
