Hi Abhishek - Your proposal is coming along nicely! I'll 2nd (or, maybe 3rd by now) encouraging you to get your proposal into Melange so that we can comment on it there more. My up-front comment is that you probably want to state that OpenAirInterface is wholly licensed under the GPLv2 ( and

Hi, So, according to some suggestions, I looked into how I can potentially use better signal processing for the OFDM receiver. I was thinking of a LS estimator with higher order interpolation or an MMSE estimator for the channel estimator part. Also, a MMSE-DFE or Viterbi equalizer. These will
