First Workshop ofSoftware Radio Implementation Forum(SRIF)
Jan 12-13, 2012
Call for Participation


We call for participation of the first workshop of a software radio
implementation forum (SRIF). The forum is intended for researchers who are
interested in PHY-layer and MAC-layer implementations on the software radio
platform. In the academic community, research efforts today in wireless
communications and networking are mostly theoretical in nature. With
software radio, it is now possible to prototype some of the proposed systems.
These prototype efforts serve two purposes: 1) demonstration of feasibility;
and 2) identification of new critical problems to solve from the practical
standpoint. The barriers to the implementation efforts can be substantial.
Sometimes it may take an inordinate amount of time just to dig out details
related to the platform. The purpose of this forum is to bring together
researchers and developers so that they can share their knowledge in
software radio to expedite their prototyping efforts. Active exchanges among
different research groups can create a synergistic environment that
will be beneficial
to all.



Toward that end, the Institute of Network Coding (INC) at the Chinese
University of Hong Kong, will organize a one-day workshop to kick-start the
forum. The workshop is targeted for Jan 12-13, 2012. After the workshop, a
website will be hosted to facilitate exchanges over the internet, with
annual or bi-annual workshops to be organized subsequently.


INC is particularly interested in the implementation of physical-layer
network coding on software radio, and Professor Soung Liew will present some
of their findings. For the forum in general, we are interested in all
implementation issues related to the PHY-layer and MAC-layer designs.
Contributions and experience sharing from other research groups are sought
after. We plan to invite well-known speakers to give presentations and share
their insights with us. In addition, we also welcome volunteered
presentations from all participants. Round-table or panel discussions will
be organized. We are soliciting interests to facilitate our planning at the
moment. If this workshop will be of interest to you, we would appreciate it
if you could send an email to Mr. Alfred Ho, General Manager, Institute of
Network Coding (clho at inc.cuhk.edu.hk), cc-ed to Prof. Soung Liew (
soung at ie.cuhk.ed.hk) and Dr. Shengli Zhang (slzhang.szu at gmail.com). Please
include the subject title ?SRIF Workshop 2012: Express of interest? in your
email. After we have assembled a list of potential participants, we will
finalize the venue, time, and program. We look forward to your participation
and contributions to this community.
