[CESG] Re: Interest in forming a BoF to follow up on SDR standardisation?

[Shames, Peter M (313B)]

Larry,  sounds right to me.  I did talk to Jim and think he is just the right guy to get involved.

Cheers, Peter

Jim and I have spoken and agreed that it would be fairly instructive to start with some reference architecture (perhaps STRS, but not necessarily) and go through at least an academic process of mapping Prox-1 to this reference.  I'm sure we would find a lot out about how reconfigurable platforms were at least referenced within CCSDS through such an activity.

Since calling it “reconfigurable, modular, interoperable communications platforms” sounds rather cross-cutting and the product is likely to be a recommended practice or a reference architecture rather than a single discrete protocol spec, I would consider housing it in SEA.

I understand from Larry that as an outcome of these discussions it has been proposed to broaden the scope from SDRs to reconfigurable, modular, interoperable communications platforms in general.

We therefore need to decide whether to “raise a BOF” at the London meeting. If we do, we need to decide to which Area it would be attached. Do any of you have sufficient interest to call such a BOF? If not, we should drop the subject. Please indicate your interest:
