Resumo:The project's main objective is to develop a Remote Radio Head (RRH) to be used under the cloud radio access networks (C-RAN) concept. Actually, the wireless market tendency related with infrastructure implementation consist in separating the computing part of base station (BS) from the radiofrequency part. Therefore, digital signal processing is assumed in a datacenter and under the cloud computing concept. Signal samples are processed there and data streams are send to the RRH. The project consist in developing the appropriate software layer in the RRH to interface with the virtual machine (VM) allocated in the data center. Two different hardware has been considered to implement the RRH. In both, we followed a similar methodology, splitting the software layer in different functional modules and defining well defined implementation steps. During project development, we addressed several test in order to verify the proper management of the involved board and check the quality and performance of the signal generated or received.
