Spectrum sensing prototype using software using software defined radio USRP

Cellular networks recently faced an increasing amount of mobile data traffic which causes network congestion. The concept of mobile data offloading has been introduced. Existing literature on offloading mainly focusses on numerical simulation, without actual measurement to verify the findings. The r...
