Hi list, I'm using gnuradio 3.6.0 together with USRPs N210 for implementing OFDM 802.11 n communications, just SISO for the moment (in the future it would be MIMO). I have properly modified parameters such as FFT size, number of occupied tones and so on. I have also included all preambles (STF, LTF...) and I have accordingly modified the "correlate" and "calculate_equalizer" functions in ofdm_frame_acquisition. FEC is also included in the chain. In the ofdm_frame_sink file I've added a function that computes SNR in a per-carrier basis.
Everything is working fine, I obtain about 80% of correct packets, but I've noticed from the snr plotting, that the carriers around the central empty one (3 subcarriers before and 3 subcarriers after) have very poor snr values. So I've investigated about this effect, and I've realized that the all transmission errors are in those subcarriers and, in most cases, FEC is able to recover, but I would like to understand why this happens. I conducted some searches in the web but unfortunately I didn't find an answer. Let me know if you need some other information about my implementation. Thanks for your attention francesca _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list Discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
