SWICOM: An SDR-Based Wireless
Communication Gateway for Vehicles

Abstract— SWICOM: An SDR-Based Wireless Communication Gateway for Vehicles. A wide range of emerging and promising wireless communication protocols are rapidly being introduced into vehicles. They are commonly used for in-car infotainment, telematics, and safety applications. However, adopting new wireless communications into vehicles requires them to be equipped with the corresponding hardware devices. This hardware dependency incurs extra costs to customers to deploy and maintain wireless services in vehicles. To alleviate this problem, this paper proposes a novel wireless communication gateway for vehicles that is called the software-defined radio (SDR)-based wireless communication gateway SWICOM.< Final Year Projects 2016 > It exploits the SDR technology that uses software running on a generic hardware platform to perform signal processing instead of dedicated hardware.
