Following on from Jan's suggestion, please make sure you understand the
FEC-API and gr-fec. We have different implementations of LDPC already in
GNU Radio's gr-fec component. More than new codes, we need to optimize the
structures that we currently have. And new LDPC work should be close enough
to the current LDPC to make choosing different implementations easy and
efficient.

[Jan Krämer]

Hi Tanero,

It seems that you know your way around LDPC Codes and the theory behind it,
which is a really good thing. But there are still things to improve.

- Check your spelling and grammar again. Also the formatting needs
reshaping (at least in Githubs preview and Fedoras document viewer) .
- Regarding optimizations. If you manage to highlight a bit more, how SIMD
could help improve the speed by parallelizing steps and how reducing the
Parity check matrixes helps with random memory accesses that would be a
great plus for your proposal.
- You should try to get a bit more familiar with the FEC-API. You have an
extra timeslot dedicated to integrating the finished OOT blocks into the
FEC-API. Just for the record, you can have your own OOT block that is
already using the FEC-API. Transferring that OOT block is to core-GNURadio
would just be a copy of the source files and adjusting of the gr-fec
CMakeLists.txt. I think it would fine with developing the blocks first as
an OOT module (if it is using the FEC-API from the beginning) and then
porting it to gr-fec. But directly integrating the LDPC blocks in gr-fec
would be also an option.

Cheers and happy hacking,
Jan

Pretty solid! I haven't fully understood the bitbake thing, but I like
the idea of becoming more involved in the embedded world, without trying
to rewrite tools.

Make sure it's on the GSoC proposal page!

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GSoC 2016 Proposal - Speed Optimizations using Viterbi Decoders

[West, Nathan]

Hi Josh,

First, review it for grammar and spelling.

Second, I'd like to see a little bit more technical content on the viterbi
decoder. To be clear, I'm not looking for theory behind trellis coding or
the viterbi algorithm as much as demonstration of understanding what is
happening in the code.

I suggest putting the new VOLK kernel/optimized add block on hold and
dedicating that energy to picking up some understanding of the code you're
proposing to work with.

Finally, you're proposing to have lots of commitments. Make sure that if
you're accepted you definitely have the time and energy to dedicate the
expected full-time work week for GSoC.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GSOC 2016 : Implement optimized, standardized channel codes

[Jan Krämer]

Hi Tanero,

Yes a general LDPC encoder/decoder pair was implemented during GSoC2013.
However as far as I know it is not yet volk enhanced. Tom should know more
about that, as he was the mentor for this project if I remember correctly.
This could also be a feasible GSoC project, though I have to admit that I
am no expert on LDPC codes. It could be a lot harder than BCJR/Viterbi
based decoders, as LDPC implies random memory accesses all over the place,
so an efficient data shuffling algorithm is crucial here (Again Tom might
know more about that). However I know for sure that the decoder for
standardized codes like DVBT2 can be enhanced by SSE/AVX operations. This
could also be a valid GSoC project where also gr-dtv core modules should
benefit. You could also have a look at this.

One last thing. Please keep all conversations about GSoC on the mailing
list. We want to keep the discussion as open and transparent as possible
and it is also for your own good if as many people/mentors read your
proposals/ideas. This is the best way for you to get feedback. Also keep in
mind that the decision about whether you can participate in GSoC is made by
all mentors, so if the other mentors know you better because you kept your
ideas visible on the GNURadio mailing list, your chances will better (given
you provided a good proposal).

Cheers,
Jan

Hi Vlad,

nice job on the simulations. Looks really good. I suggest you put the
results and a (short) explanation in your proposal. Remember monday is the
first day to submit it officially.
Also although I messed up the first time as well and had to sent the email
twice, try to remember to include the GNURadio list when replying. The more
mentors see the mails, the better for you!

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GSoC 2016 - Signal Intelligence module for GNU Radio (gr-sigint)

[Meet Pragnesh Shah]

Hi Martin and Sreeraj,

Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback. I have updated the proposal with
changes that addresses the suggestions made.

The proposal is can now be found on github at : [ link

].

 A few major updates include :

   - Added a data flow chart to show how the entire automatic modulation
   recognition process will work with brief description of individual modules.
   - Relaxed the timeline to allot more time to the cyclostationary part.
   - Included a brief idea on implementing GUI from other existing similar
   GUIs (pyqtgraph and gr-specest).
   - Identified existing blocks and modules (gr-specest, gr-theano ,gr-tf
etc) that can be used/aid in the develop individual components of
   gr-sigint.
   - Updated the timeline to include the last 2 weeks for cleanup and
   review.

Cheers,

Meet Pragnesh Shah

[sreeraj r]

Hi Pragnesh,

Nice proposal. A few extra suggestions

Visualization
It would be nice to put a few pointers to show how you are planning to
integrate the GUI
- For example, integrate it with the GUI in gr-specest
- Use other libraries like pyqtgraph[1] (see crosshair example)

Schedule
I personally feel that the current schedule might be very tight for you
- e.g. Just two weeks for cyclo-stationary implementation
It would be nice to spend some time to analyze what all blocks/modules are
currently available
- gr-specest for cyclo
- tensorflow/keras integration details for CNN

P.S. This project is almost similar to "Cyclostationary Tools" project
idea. So make sure that you look into the details and comments for that
project too.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GSOC 2016 - Cyclostationary Tools

[Ilie-Ablachim Denis]

Hi,

I started writing my proposal for my future submit. I also started reading
some documentation and articles from Google Scholar about the
Cyclostationary algorithms. I think I would like to approach
Cyclostationary Detection.

I have to admit that this kind of signal processing is a new field for me
but I like it. Please let me know if this is a good subject for my future
project or I can approach another cyclostationary algorithm.

If you could provide me any documentation about this kind of algorithms I
would be more than grateful. So far, I just read articles from IEEE Xplore
and  I am trying to get from internet the book of Antonio Napolitano -
Generalizations of Cyclostationary Signal Processing.

[Martin Braun]

Hi,

thanks for expressing your interest in GNU Radio + GSoC!
You haven't really proposed a project, though -- please take a look at
our wiki pages, and see what piques your interest, then you can come up
with a proposal and present it here.

Cheers,
Martin

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GSoC 2016 - Signal Intelligence module for GNU Radio (gr-sigint)

[Martin Braun]

Hi,

this is a really good first draft at a proposal! A couple of points:

- Publish this on a place like github, so you can easily iterate and
don't have to send PDFs to the mailing list.
- There's a couple of typos in the draft. Just sayin'
- In the text, you mention you will use the last 2 weeks for review and
cleanup, can you put that into the timeline as well, just for an easier
overview
- Can you expand how the individual modules will work together? For
example, you show a list of classifiers, but I don't understand what
happens when you select one. Are they individual blocks, or kernels, or
something else?

Cheers,
Martin

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GSoC 2016 - Improve and Integrate PyBOMBS & CGRAN

[Martin Braun]

The current PyBOMBS has SDK and cross-compile support. I do like the
integration of bitbake, although I'm not sure how that would look and if
you're turning PyBOMBS into something it's not.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GSOC 2016 - Cyclostationary Tools

[West, Nathan]

Hi,

To make a really good proposal for this you're going to have to come up
with the specifics on your own. Once you have those in mind feel free to
write them up in to a draft proposal for comment.

What cyclostationary algorithms are you interested in working on? Do you
want a particular visualization to be added?

In your other thread you mention interest in signal intelligence as well.
These two projects are pretty similar, so you clearly have a general idea
of your interests. Perhaps you don't have a specific algorithm in mind, but
you have an application. If you tell us about that maybe that can turn in
to your project or people can suggest algorithms.

[Discuss-gnuradio] GSOC 2016 - Cyclostationary Tools

[Ilie-Ablachim Denis]

Hi,

My name is Ilie-Ablachim Constantin-Denis and I am a 3rd year student in
Automatic Control and Computer Science at Politehnica University of
Bucharest. I am really interested on working with this organization for the
"Cyclostationary Tools" project.

I am an Undergraded Teaching Assistant at my university, teaching "Signal
ans Systems" and "Automated System Theory". I have strong knowledge in
signal and image processing.

I also improved in the past 7 years my skill in programming, especially:
C/C++ and Matlab and developed for a research center from my university
some applications in : face detection, face recognition, based on signal
processing.

I would be more than happy to work on this project or even submit a demo or
patch for my future proposal assestment. Also I started doing research on
this project, but I would really appreciate if you could give me some extra
documentation and information on this.

Thank you in advance!

Yours sincerely, Ilie-Ablachim Constantin-Denis.

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GSOC 2016 : Implement optimized, standardized channel codes

[Jan Krämer]

Hi Tane,

great to hear that you want to contribute to GSoC and GNURadio. Bad things
first (well not really too bad ;) ), you should have some knowledge about
the operations used in forward error correction. There are several
techniques used (LDPC, Turbo-Decoder, Viterbi) but you don't have to know
all of them. It is also a plus if you know in advance what kind of channel
code you want to implement as it affects the way it can be optimized. If
you don't know anything about decoders, a strong knowledge in optimizing,
especially vectorizing, algorithms might help equally.
If you want some good places to start I would recommend the "GNURadio
Guided Tutorials" [0], the documentation on VOLK [1] and the FEC-API [2]
(the GNURadio Forward Error Correction Framework).

Hope that answers some of your questions.
Cheers,
Jan

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GSOC 2016 :Implement optimized, standardized channel codes

[Jan Krämer]

Hey Vlad,

glad to hear that you're interested in GSoC and GNURadio. For starters I
would like to refer you to the Email that Martin Braun send to all
applicants.
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2016-03/msg00161.html
My advice is to now get familiar with GNURadio [0], VOLK [1], and the
FEC-API [2] (the GNURadio Forward Error Correction Framework).
Also one note, if you want to implement various types of interleavers other
than the standard ones, you might have to convince
 us that they will actually be an improvement in your proposal.

Looking forward to reading the proposal,
Jan

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GSoC 2016 - Improve and Integrate PyBOMBS & CGRAN

[Ravi Sharan]

Hi Nathan,

I agree that the ideas listed out in my previous mail doesn't take all of
the summer to implement. I which case, I would like to add another point to
my proposal.

PyBOMBS support to Embedded WG -

The idea is fairly simple. The current Embedded WG provides a
OpenEmbedded(OE) based SDK to develop and build OOT modules. I intend to
add a layer on top of PyBOMBS to work with OE tools (bitbake etc.,), for
setting up the environment for SDK and cross-compiling the OOT Modules. The
module author will have one less thing to worry about while developing apps
for supported embedded platforms. I need to do a bit of homework on this
front before I write the proper proposal and any help from the embedded WG
(Philip Balister) is appreciated in this direction.

My plan (tentative) as of now is to roughly dedicate 5 weeks to implement
the app store in the beginning, 3 weeks for adding PyBOMBS support to the
embedded working group and 3 weeks for the CGRAN-PyBOMBS integration (1
week) & CGRAN only work (2 weeks). Last two weeks will be dedicated for
sanity checks and bug fixes.

Cheers,
Ravi Sharan

Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] GSoC 2016 Application Request with Theme: Burst Radio Support with Tim O'Shea

[West, Nathan]

Hi Daniel,

Glad to hear of your interest. Do you have a particular burst modem
standard you'd like to work on? Tell us about it and how you might make a
mod/demod chain in GNU Radio. It doesn't have to be perfect and you'll
likely get some feedback to improve your application.

I also suggest taking a look at the linked github branch and what new
features it adds to GNU Radio that make bursty modems less awkward.

[Discuss-gnuradio] GSOC 2016

[Ilie-Ablachim Denis]

Hi, My name is Ilie-Ablachim Constantin-Denis and I am a 3rd year student
in Automatic Control and Computer Science at Politehnica University of
Bucharest. I read on the GNU Radio page the proposed ideas for the GSOC
2016 and I noticed a few ideas in which I am interested:
-Signal Intelligence
-Cyclostationary Tools
Since last year I became a Undergraded Teaching Assistant at my university.
I teach "Signal and Systems" and "Automated System Theory". I have good
knowledge in signal and image processing, but also in the numerical methods
theory.

As a student, during my first 3 years at Politehnica University of
Bucharest, I enrolled in a research center where I studied Ambiental and
Artificial Intelligence, which is also a Open Source program. I developed
here a Face Recognition Application, using image processing in Matlab.
I also improved my knowledge in the last years in: C/C++, Matlab, Octave,
SQL, MongoDB, NodeJS, mathematics, image and signal processing, physics. I
think that I have a solid knowledge which will help me to succeed in these
project. I would be glad to discuss further about these projects and their
documentation. Also could you give me some advice regarding which project
fits me better? I will really appreciate this. I am looking forward in
hearing from you and I will be more than happy to begin the work or even
submit a demo or patch.
Thank you in advance! Yours sincerely, Ilie-Ablachim Constantin-Denis.

[Discuss-gnuradio] GSOC 2016 :Implement optimized, standardized channel codes

[Влад Василенко]

I have a master's degree in computer systems and networks Chernihiv
National Technological University. Currently I’m PhD student
  at Institute of
Telecommunications and Global Information Space of the Academy of Sciences
of Ukraine.
I am interested in your project - Implement optimized, standardized channel
codes, Mentor(s) Jan Krämer, Sebastian Koslowski.

I want to do the implementation of LTE Turbo code, because for a long time
doing their research. My thesis topic is based on their research. I have
the copyright certificate and an article in this area.  I would like to
propose another implementation of various types of interleavers. (Depending
on the size of the block interleaver type affects BER).
I have skills in programming languages C/C++, Matlab. I will appreciate any
response of any form.

Regards
Vlad Vasylenko

[Discuss-gnuradio] GSoC 2016 - Improve and Integrate PyBOMBS & CGRAN

[Ravi Sharan]

Hello,

I am Ravi Sharan, currently pursuing MTech from IIT Hyderabad. I am looking
forward to participate in GSoC 2016 by improving and integrating CGRAN and
the newer PyBOMBS. I have earlier worked on redesigning the current version
of CGRAN with the help of Nathan West. Here's a brief description of things
I would like to contribute to the GNU Radio project:

*- Qt based GUI app store - *
Develop a simple, usable Qt based GUI app store to install GNU Radio and
OOT modules. This sub-idea covers fixing the existing bugs in new PyBOMBS
as well.

*- Integrate PyBOMBS & CGRAN -* Enable installing OOT modules from CGRAN
site
This is an idea which Martin Braun put forward during the initial
discussions while developing the CGRAN 2.0. The idea is similar to Ubuntu's
AptURL , where you can install
the packages from a web browser. Clicking the 'apt' (#pun) URL, the browser
redirects to the package manager to install the package.

*- Enhance CGRAN  -* (from current level to level awesome?)
I intend to implement this sub-idea in two-fold -
*** Add features like clickable tags and grouping the OOT Modules (to name
a few) etc., according to their functionality for better usability of the
site. [Code Contributions]
*** Since the relaunch of CGRAN in April 2015, very few OOT Modules have
surfaced on the site. I would like to add more documentation to the
individual modules (like what works and what doesn't, compatibility with
the current GNU Radio API, etc.,), thus populating CGRAN with modules
listed out on the site. This idea is more of documentation, but is a little
time consuming.

I will document the above mentioned ideas in the form of proposal based on
the feedback I receive and would like to work with Martin Braun and Nathan
West during the GSoC period. Apart from the ideas listed above, I am open
for suggestions on what could make a good proposal and better summer of
coding.

Thanks,
Ravi Sharan B A G

[Daniel Ndzo]

Hi
I'm Daniel Ndzo

Freenode : DanielNdzo

I'm a 4th year computer engineer with skills in telecommunications from the
Faculty of Engineering and Technology, University of Buea, Cameroon. Went
through software development related courses within the first and second
years, then switched to telecommunications in the third year. I have worked
on arduino and FTDI based projects, windows app projects and web app
projects.

Was nominated for an arduino-based project (
innovation.cm/index.php/preselection); item number 7 .

Sole Developer of GREENWING.(a cost free communication system using LoRa
technology). Link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2S90x7jXOF9WUVBSEh1YldkMXc/view?usp=sharing

Though the GREENWING software was written in C#, C and C++ are languages I
hve worked with.

Also developed a web app for NEHSUFOODS(nehsufoods.orgfree.com); see home
page bottom for developer/webmaster contact link.

I consider a computer engineer as not only a software developer, but a
hardware developer as well. reason for which I switched to
telecommunications to broaden my scope of notion

As i request to work on the  Speed Optimization and Application for ATSC
Receivers  project  mentored by Johnathan Corgan, Nathan West, Andy Walls
I will appreciate any response of  any form

Thanks
