[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

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 (OO

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 wi
