Hi Sebastian,
Good proposal. Really liked the radio service database idea too.
It would be nice to have a radio info tab in the GUI, which provide details about plausible transmission type based on the frequency allocation of the region (e.g [1]).
Some comments on your proposal
Block diagram (fig.2)
- In the block diagram your synchronization block comes before the AMC block. Are you referring to some blind synchronization schemes?. If yes can you put some references.
- You could also analyze whether sync is necessary for AMC.
- Some useful links [2-3].
Smart demodulation block
- Can you please add some more details about this? May be one or two references.
- For demodulation you need to do a lot more parameter estimation after AMC (samp/symbol, shaping filter parameters etc).
Modulation classification block
- It would be nice to add/analyze details on the existing gnuradio blocks for cyclo/CNN based classification
- This will help you to plan your timeline accordingly
