[Discuss-gnuradio] OFDM with continuous pilots but bursty data

2019-08-14 Thread Achilleas Anastasopoulos
Hi Alex,

you may want to take a look at the OOT module gr-cdma (
https://github.com/anastas/gr-cdma).
This system implements a two-channel system with one of the orthogonal
channels being continuously transmitting pilots,
while the other carries data (in a synchronous/asynchronous way).
The Rx is always listening to the pilot channel and is continuously
adjusting frequency/timing.

Hi Alex - The default OFDM Rx is fully asynchronous: It tries to detect the 
packet preamble on a packet by packet basis only, without using any knowledge 
of historical successful packet detection. I don't think GR provides a 
synchronous receiver, and I don't know of one in any GR out of tree (OOT) 
module ... but I don't know everything so maybe there is one & if so hopefully 
others will chime in to tell us! Hope this is useful! - MLD

[Discuss-gnuradio] OFDM with continuous pilots but bursty data

2019-08-13 Thread Alex Roberts
I'm playing around with an OFDM transmit/receive chain. I've noticed that
if I get underruns at a high enough rate, it becomes a bursty system and
the receiver is unable to lock in and no longer demodulates the symbols.

Would it be possible to generate continuous pilot tones or send OFDM frames
with just preambles and padded data such that even if the source data
stream underruns, the output is continous rather than bursty so that the
receiver can keep lock with time and frequency offests?
