Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] [GSoC] It has begun

[Manu T S]

Hello Everyone,

I'm Manu, a graduate student at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. I'm pursuing masters in Electrical Engineering specializing in Communication and Signal Processing. My proposal on LDPC codes has been accepted for GSoC. You can look into the proposal for more information.

The codes will be hosted in github repo

Hello Everyone,

I am a graduate student from ECE Paris, France. I have been selected for GSoC 2013 for the project IEEE 802.11 a/g/n Rx and Wireshark Connector. I am much obliged and thankful to the community for this opportunity and hope to come up with some good results during this experience.

This project aims to provide a utility for new users of GNU Radio to access Wireshark and analyze their algorithms using it. The aim is to develop a bridge between GNU Radio and Wireshark which would result into analysis of packets. I plan to do this using already developed OFDM based IEEE 802.11 a/g/n Receiver, thanks to Univ of Innsbruck people for that. Also libpcap, a packet capture library, will be used to develop socket between GNURadio and Wireshark. For detailed proposal please visit here.

For the development of the project, I am hosting it at Google Project hosting (here). I will be setting it up completely in next few hours.

For the moment some starting soft milestones are as following:

Till this weekend: Fresh install of gnuradio and ofdm rx(univ of innsbruck). Revision of basic state of the art and intial setup phase.

Next week (3rd-9th June): Deep study of OFDM code and preparation of first document on state of the art. Defining initial objective before real coding starts. Discussion with mentors and inputs on the initial goals.

I would also start a blog which will sum up the development including major milestone screen-shots and videos, whatever may be possible.

At the end, Once again I thank the community for this opportunity and my gratitude goes to all mentors and volunteers who has been working hard for GSoC. I would be much obliged to have guidance and feedback from the community during this development phase.

Best Regards,
Shashank Gaur

Hi everyone,

just a quick notice concerning GSoC: It has officially begun, and the
students who were accepted have been announced.

A full list can be found here:
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2013/gnuradio

We had a huge number of proposals this year, and it was quite hard to
pick 5 students. Without going into details, we sorted all proposals by
our own grading system and waited until the number of slots was
announced, then picked the first 5.

There were certainly more than 5 fantastic proposals, and it's a bit sad
that we couldn't take more people. I would like to thank everyone for
applying.

I also want to thank all mentors for volunteering and helping with the
grading and selection of students.
Special thanks goes out to Jens, who volunteered to mentor two students.
This made it possible to simply pick the top 5 students from our list
without having to find a backup mentor or arbitrarily changing our
priority order.

A little stat on the side: An incredibly high percentage of
applications were for the LDPC codes. Why they are so much more
interesting than all the other projects remains a mystery to me, but it
seems we have some code afficionados here. Perhaps some of you are
willing to put in some time to write some other FEC code? We only have 5
GSoC slots, but that doesn't mean you can't contribute :)
Of course, that goes for all students. I do hope you are all genuinely
interested in the GNU Radio project and we will see you around.

So, the summer of code starts now! I certainly hope that we have 5
successful projects this year and 5 more contributors in the future.
