Hi - I'm not extremely versed in digital modes, but I am well versed in
optimization. I think that HAM radio should be something open source, which
is why Codec2 appeals to me.
Before I post a large blob of C code, I wanted to mention that I have a
program that I have written a genetic optimizer to move spline knots around
- and I'd be happy to run the optimizer based on BER/PER ... however ... I
need someone to explain to me how I might generate quantities to optimize
on. I don't need bunches of help, just enough so that I can write it myself.
I found that the 16-sample clamped endpoint spline with log-spaced samples
worked the best, so I'll chop out the higher sample density parts of the
code. My hope was faster AND more accurate, but I think all I got was
faster and LESS accurate. Perhaps wiser eyes than mine can help me out.
The test script that I was using was:
#!/bin/sh
./ldpc_enc /dev/zero - --sd --code HRA_112_112 --testframes 100 \
| ./ldpc_noise - - 1 \
| ./ldpc_dec - /dev/null --code HRA_112_112 --sd --testframes
The code is (simply replace phi0.c with this):
// phi0.c
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stddef.h>
float coeffs_clamped_16[16] = {
7.93223341e+07, 1.55433768e+07, 3.60871810e+06, 7.33752374e+05,
