Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats:
The project will develop a system for measuring wireless systems under an SDR implementation. The project objective is to develop the necessary tools to to capture the working conditions of the wireless app by carrying out the appropriate measures according the working scenario and the measurement and test objectives.

In a first stage and evaluation of most usual measurement and test requirements of 4G, LTE, and 5G systems will be done. The outcome from this phase should be a list of the most common measurement protocols and methodologies to be done.

Ia a second phase it will be defined the software tools, for measurement purposes, to be implemented that will include: protocols, graphs, real-time, synchronization of different measures, data capture and logs, etc.

In a third stage the student will proceed to the implementation of previously defined tools and its incorporation to a SDR framework.

In a fourth phase, we will proceed to develop an example of wireless system measurement by applying the developed tools to carry out some of conformance or performance test defined in LTE specifications.
 
Overview (resum en anglès):
In times when telecommunications are one of the cardinal points of our society, engineers people who study them are very important to be able to see and analyse the signals which make up them. That is why experts, in this broad field, need a tool capable of providing a vision of all the signals which they are sending or receiving.

In this project, we tried to implement a graphical interface tool able to give visibility to all the signals received by any telecommunication device. Making the user itself able to interact with it, in such a way he has the absolute control of what he wants to do. In addition, this tool is designed to support all those users who use a framework based on Software Defined Radio.

In this project, first, it will be explained what is exactly the Software Defined Radio technology, including its benefits and giving examples of application where it is used. Also, there is a collection of frameworks that are based on this technology, explaining in more detail ALOE Middleware.

Next, we will try to explain in detail how the software is built, what is the data flow, the graphs in which it is composed and the functionality they have.

And finally, the entire implementation will be incorporated into the Software Defined Radio technology, especially, within the ALOE middleware where real-time tests will be sent by sending audio signals and LTE signals.
