Dvb-Tx-Iris Project

This package contains the components which may be used to create DVB-T radios with the IRIS software radio framework.

The DVB-TX-IRIS extension is an extension of the Iris framework. Iris is a software architecture for building highly reconfigurable radio networks using a component-based design. The architecture comprises two repositories - Iris_Core and Iris_Modules. Iris_Core contains the core part of the architecture such as parsers, managers, and engines. Iris_Modules contain the components which can be used to create a software radio such as PHY-layer components and radio controllers. The Iris architecture, written in C++, supports all layers of the network stack and provides a platform for the development of not only reconfigurable point-to-point radio links, but complete networks of reconfigurable radios. Individual radios are described using an XML document. This lists the components which comprise the radio, gives the values to be used for their parameters and describes the connections between them. Iris was originally developed by CTVR, The Telecommunications Research Centre, based at University of Dublin, Trinity College. In 2013, it was released under the LGPL v3 license and is currently managed by Software Radio Systems (http://www.softwareradiosystems.com).
