Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Softbits in gr-ieee 802.11 ?

[sumit kumar]

Thanks for confirming. I believe that IT++ version will work with corresponding GNU Radio version. 

Also what do you think (since you have developed the code for long time :) ) : IT++ version will be as efficient as the current one? I mean the current version uses SIMD for Viterbi. 

 

I have tested the current version for success rate. I can share the results(attached). Success rate mentioned is nothing but ratio of received to transmitted frame per second using a R&H VSG. The test was done over the air.

Hi,

you are right. The current implementation does not use soft-bits but feeds hard bits into the decoder.

In 2013, I used the soft-input Viterbi decoder from the IT++ library.

Hi,

I am doing some proof of concept using gr-ieee 802.11.
The paper by author [1] says that it uses softbits, however in the method

*constellation::decision_maker(const gr_complex *sample)*, I see outputs as hardbits.
Am I missing something here i.e. any particular commit or branch where the softbits implementation is there.

  Its very important for my algorithm to use softbits :-/
