Iris is a software architecture for building highly reconfigurable radio networks using a component-based design. The Iris_FLL_Modules package contains a number of PHY and Stack components as well as controllers that are not part of the official Iris_Modules package. In particular, it contains GdtpComponent, a wrapper for using libgdtp from within Iris, SoftCsma, a software implementation of a CSMA-based MAC protocol, and FpgaCsma, a CSMA-MAC implemented inside the FPGA of the USRP N210.

The Iris architecture offers support for 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).

Required:

• Iris_Core (Use the next branch from my iris_core repo )

Optional:

• Iris_Modules + Qwt for the graphical components
• UHD for SimpleTdmaTagger
• libgdtp for GdtpComponent (will be build through OSPECORR)
• StateBuilderCpp for the fllcontroller
