I am working with the OFDM and FEC blocks combined in the same
flowgraph,
but this configuration led to some issues and I am not being able to
sort
this out.
I am using the OFDM Transmitter and Receiver Hier Blocks and FEC Encoder
and Decoder, but I already used “FEC Extended Decoder/Encoder” with
convolutional and dummy variables. With the following parameters:
OFDM:
- FFT Length: 64
- CP Lenght: 16
- Packet Length: 96
FEC (Repetition)
- Frame Bits: 2048
- Repetitions: 2
- a prior prob: 500m
I have made individual tests using this configuration and each block
works
perfectly fine. But apparently there is a bug with their integration
Then, I created file sinks in the flowgraph for debugging: One just
after
the encoder, to show me how the repetition encoder works and if it’s
working properly; other after the receiver, to look into the packet
after
all OFDM process.
The file after reception lost part of the packets, thus, I believe it
means
that they are being dropped somewhere between transmission and
reception.
For example:
If I am transmitting: “A B C\nD E F\nG H I\n”
I am receiving: “A B C\nG H I\nD E F\nG H I\nA B C\n”, i.e. one packet
with
“D E F\n” and other with “A B C\n” were dropped or lost along the way.
After searching for this type of problem, I found something about
“Header/Payload
Demuxer”.
