Abstract

Experimental setups for cellular communications have always been a rare commodity in academia. The advent of software-defined radios (SDRs) paved the way for researchers to prototype their ideas on real hardware. However, existing SDR platforms and their associated reference design codes mostly provide basic cellular functionality with limitations such as low numbers of users and computational capacity. In this demo, we demonstrate the first SDR-based testbed for inband D2D communications using LabVIEW Communications and the USRP hardware platform. Furthermore, we implement a light-weight quality-aware scheduler which adaptively switches communication links from D2D to cellular and vice versa.
