Title
Transaction level modelling of SCA compliant software defined radio waveforms and platforms PIM/PSM
Abstract
In the scope of the US Department of Defense (DoD) Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) program, the portability and reconfigurability needs of Software Defined Radios (SDR) required by the Software Communications Architecture (SCA) [1] can be resolved thanks to Model Driven Architecture (MDA) and component/container paradigm to address a heterogeneous hardware and software architecture. In this paper, we propose SystemC Transaction Level Modelling (TLM) to simulate Platform Independent Model (PIM) and Platform Specific Model (PSM) of SDRs, while keeping the component/container approach for applications portability. We show that SystemC 2.1 enables natively to simulate the waveform PIM specified in UML to obtain an executable specification, which can be reused to validate the SystemC TLM model of PSM. This latter allows radio platform virtualisation and true reuse of IPs models to validate earlier SDR waveforms and platforms.
