HI , i am doing a project on channel estimation in ofdm . I want to
estimate the SNR of the recievd symbol using the preamble symbol.
Please let me if i can do this in GNU radio.

http://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/group__snr__blk.html Tom created and
blogged about two blocks to do SNR. I’ve had success using both for PSK
signals. One is a probe that generates messages. The other is a pass
through that generates tags.

This will indeed work if you serialize the frames into complex symbols,
but only if you have a flat fading channel!
You could also use the preamble, but will have to write your own block
for that since the preamble is discarded on reception in the current GNU
Radio blocks.
Estimating SNR for OFDM is marginally different than for single-carrier.
I suggest having a look at academic papers on this subject.
