Hi all, I am new to gnuradio and I was wondering if you could help me out with some of the questions I have:
I have a very little background of DSP/Comm. and I would to be able to experiment/build 802.11 like MAC atop of gnuradio primitives. Is gnuradio right now at a stage where I can start doing this? How much of a DSP background do I need? What are the problems I can expect? For eg. I saw some throughput numbers in the range of 50kbps - is this because of the lack of good modulation schemes which are not yet implemented? I came across some postings which talked about timing considerations when implementing 802.11 like mac. Is this a serious hurdle in the development process (for building a MAC)? BBN has code (for NetBSD) which implements 802.11 receive -- is this a separate branch or is it going to be merged with gnuradio release? Can you tell me what could be the starting points in the code I should be looking at? (digital/ tunnel.py , benchmark_rx/tx.py seem have some implementation of csma). Finally, without the USRP boards, is there anything I test/run/simulate until then to get a general understanding of the flow? (I have gnuradio installed ..) Thanks for the help, Shravan. _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
