Receiving My Own Transmitted Packets after disconnecting from Transmit Path and connecting to Receiv

Hi,

I wrote a gnuRadio code that allows me to switch between a Tx_Path and
Rx_Path every 10 seconds.

The code is based on the tb.lock() , tb.unlock() functions and the
benchmarks provided with gnuradio.

I am able to do the switching fine, however after switching from
transmission to reception, the node receives some of the packets that
were
sent during its own transmission period.

How can I overcome this echo like effect between the TX and RX periods ?

*In the main() function I have :
*

tb.start()
while True:
time.sleep(10)
tb.lock()
tb.conf_transmit()
tb.unlock()
tb.transmit_packets()
tb.lock()
tb.conf_sense()
tb.unlock()
tb.wait()

In the top_block class I have:

def conf_transmit(self):
self.disconnect(self.source, self.rxpath)
self.connect(self.txpath, self.sink)

def conf_sense(self):
self.disconnect(self.txpath, self.sink)
self.connect(self.source, self.rxpath)

def transmit_packets(self):
begin_time = time.time()
pkt_size=1500
pktno = 0
while time.time() - begin_time < 10: # Send for 10 minutes
data = (pkt_size - 2) * chr(pktno & 0xff)
payload = struct.pack(’!H’, pktno & 0xffff) + data
self.send_pkt(payload)
pktno += 1

def send_pkt(self, payload=’’, eof=False):
### Main Function to Send Packets.
return self.txpath.send_pkt(payload, eof)

Best Regards,
