We are happy to receive the Best Short Paper Award @ ACM WiSec’25 for our paper on BlindSpot. Yay! Vincenz Mechler , Frank Hessel , Matthias Hollick and Bastian Bloessl , “ BlindSpot: Efficient Single-Node Selective Jamming for LoRaWAN ,” Proceedings of 18th ACM Conference on Security and Privacy in Wireless and Mobile Networks (WiSec 2025), Arlington, VA, June 2025. [ DOI , BibTeX , PDF and…
I am happy to receive the award for the best exercise in the winter term 2024/25 from the computer science student council for my lecture on crisis communication . Thanks to Jakob Link, Malte Klas, Michael Schneider, and Florian Tillmann for the support!
Our FutureSDR + IPEC demo is accepted at ACM MobiCom 2023 . Yay! In the demo, we have the same FutureSDR receiver running on three very different platforms: a normal laptop, interfacing an Aaronia Spectran v6 SDR a web browser, compiled to WebAssembly and interfacing a HackRF SDR through WebUSB an AMD/Xilinx RFSoC ZCU111 evaluation board On the ZCU111, the same decoder is implemented both in…
With all the cool Software Defined Radio WebAssembly projects popping up, it seems like 2023 is the year of SDR in the browser :-) I recently worked on improving the WebAssembly support for FutureSDR and am pretty happy with the result. It no longer requires pulling a lot of tricks to cross-compile the native driver with emscripten but enables a complete Rust workflow. The current user experience…
David Volz and I presented our demo FutureSDR meets IPEC at the Berlin 6G Conference , a meeting of all 6G-related projects, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). Our demo showed how FutureSDR can be used to implement platform-independent real-time signal processing applications that can be reconfigured during runtime. We had the same FutureSDR receiver running on a…
I gave a talk about Seify at the Software Defined Radio Academy 2023 . Seify is FutureSDR’s Rust SDR hardware abstraction library that solves a similar problem to Soapy in C++ domain. The preliminary talk is already on YouTube. A final version, including the live Q&A, will be available later. The slides are also available:
I’m happy to be back at Paderborn University as Substitute Professor of the Computer Networks group. I’ll be mainly responsible for teaching the Systems Software and Systems Programming lecture, including exercises and labs, which is a mandatory module in the Computer Science Bachelor curriculum. Looking forward to this new experience.
Together with Lars Baumgärtner , I co-organized a workshop on Next Generation Wireless Edge Networks, which is part of a workshop series, organized in the context of our Collaborative Research Center MAKI . I’m thankful for the awesome speakers that joined us and the interesting discussions at the event. 👉This Friday @ds_darmstadtium ! The Collaborative Research Centre #MAKI invites everyone…
I’ll be giving a tutorial on FutureSDR at NetSys 2023 , which will take place between 4 – 8 September 2023 at the Hasso-Plattner-Institut in Potsdam, Germany. NetSys, the conference on Networked Systems, is organized by the special interest group Communication and Distributed Systems (KUVS), which is anchored both in the German Computer Science society (Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI)) and in the…
I’m happy to receive the Ulrich L. Rohde Award for outstanding contributions in the field of Software Defined Radio for my work on FutureSDR . The award was handed-over at the Software Defined Radio Academy , presented by IARU R1 President Sylvain Azarian and the DARC .
I released my Rust SDR experiments as a project that I call FutureSDR and prepared a video to introduce its main features. The code is available on GitHub .
I was happy to give a tutorial about Programming Software Defined Radios with GNU Radio at ACM WiSec 2021 . This was a lot of fun to prepare but also a good excuse to spent a lot of money and get some more professional A/V equipment :-) I also uploaded the IQ file that was recorded in the session and the GNU Radio module.
Our subproject of the Collaborative Research Center MAKI got funded :-) It’s the first time I can hire a PhD student. So I’m looking for motivated candidates, who want to build fancy SDR prototypes and explore new concepts for SDR runtimes. If you’re interested, drop me an email . Yay, our subproject made it! 🍻 https://t.co/oi0FsPtOdS — Bastian Bloessl (@bastibl) November 30, 2020
Josh Morman and I gave an update on our current efforts to build a new more modular runtime for GNU Radio that comes with pluggable schedulers and native support for accelerators. If you’re interested in the topic checkout the GitHub repo join the Scheduler channel on our Matrix server subscribe to the mailing list show up at our regular meetings (announced on the mailing list and on Matrix) # A…
This is the second post on FutureSDR, an experimental async SDR runtime, implemented in Rust. While the previous post gave a high-level overview of the core concepts, this and the following posts will be about more specific topics. Since I just finished integration of AXI DMA custom buffers for FPGA acceleration, we’ll discuss this. ...and custom buffers for FPGA acceleration (Xilinx AXI DMA).…
