I’m evaluating better what to do…first thing,i can adapte the wotk of  
Innsburk’s guy for work also for 802.11g,but it’s not enough…maybe i  
can also  
try to implement the 802.11n in the case of single antenna,but first i  
must  
read better the specificies…  
another interesting thing is try to recognise the multipath(for example  
using  
autocorrelation between signal recostructed and the original signal,but  
it is  
possible only for some signal,and it depend also from the dynamic range  
and  
sensitive of the receiver)  
It could be also possible make a MITM detector in wifi network or  
similar,  
altought they’re not very common…

thank you for your time,and tell me your opinion

I can just tell you what I have on my todo list. Martin and Ankit (who  
would be the mentor) can tell you more.

I want to:

- add documentation
- port to v3.7
- move autocorrelation (i.e. frame detection) to FPGA
- use more sophisticated algorithms
- study OFDM branch and make use of that stuff
- checkout performance counters and understand the performance  
bottlenecks

Best,  
Bastian

Something obvious (although you might not actually want it 🙂 is a 2D  
equalizer and higher modulation schemes.

As Martin mentioned in his previous mail, students writing proposals  
should extend your work. The above points are good illustration of the  
work expected.

As an addendum to your points,

- higher modulations schemes 16-QAM and 64-QAM and subsequently the  
channel estimation / Frequency Domain Equalization.
- An interface (GNURadio Block) to the Wireshark, to be able to generate  
statistics for packet error rate, etc.

Regards,  
Ankit
