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 hence the relevant portions can be ported to GNU Radio (assuming  
this statement is true; licensing is important with discussion porting  
programming) … I think it would be useful for you to include a link to  
the specific files in their repo:  
[https://svn.eurecom.fr/openair4G/trunk/](https://svn.eurecom.fr/openair4G/trunk/) … I can’t find those files  
just by perusing. Looking forward to more discussion on Melange. - MLD

I’m fairly confident we can get you a login to a AVX2 machine if  
there’s no other option.

Cheers,
