Abstract

Este artículo presenta la implementación de un prototipo de red GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) basado en SDR (Software Defined Radio) utilizando el software OpenBTS basado en Linux y el hardware USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral). Se ha elegido GSM por ser uno de los estándares de mayor éxito e impacto en el ecosistema de la telefonía móvil y base para las siguientes generaciones. Al integrar GSM con SDR es posible implementar un prototipo de red GSM experimental, el cual puede llegar a convertirse en un banco de pruebas para futuras innovaciones y desarrollos en la dinámica SDR cuyo objetivo que es brindar infraestructuras móviles alternativas para poblaciones rurales en Ecuador y en el mundo que forman parte de la gran brecha digital.
