A Unified Software and Hardware Platform for Machine Learning Aided Wireless Systems

This paper presents a unified software and hardware wireless AI platform (USHWAP) for developing and evaluating machine learning in wireless systems. The platform integrates multi-software development such as MATLAB and Python with hardware platforms like FPGA and SDR, allowing for flexible and scalable device and edge computing application development. The USHWAP is implemented and validated using FPGAs and SDRs. Wireless signal classification, wireless LAN sensing, and rate adaptation are used as examples to showcase the platform's capabilities. The platform enables versatile development, including software simulation and real-time hardware implementation, offering flexibility and scalability for multiple applications. It is intended to be used by wireless-AI researchers to develop and evaluate intelligent algorithms in a laboratory environment.
