The concept of using spread spectrum and open radio standards to provide license-free, short range Peer-to-Peer (P2P) communication is explored. This research makes use of the Time Compression Overlap Add (TC-OLA) algorithm to transparently spread the spectrum of the Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) standard; this allows for reuse of existing hardware, software, and expertise relating to this well established protocol. Initial high level hardware designs of a communication device established the need to implement a proof of concept system which could be validated against Radio Frequency (RF) regulations. This proof of concept system was constructed using a hardware implementation of DMR processed through custom TC-OLA blocks in GNU Radio (GR). A spectral and performance analysis of this system was performed, showing that this approach has several benefits over existing license free communication options. / Graduate / 2020-07-11
