Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Received data rate for wifi_rx in gnuradio

[SG]

Thanks for your reply.

So in the considered system, transmitter is continuously broadcasting 
data at the rate 5Mbps using ieee802.11 protocol (BPSK modulation is 
used). The WiFi receiver is receiving continuously using LimeSDR Mini 
and I am trying to capture data rate after the decode and demodulation 
of received signal. It is receiving the broadcasted data at a 
significantly lower rate (based on wireshark capture statistics) for 
which I am unable to identify the reason. So I was wondering if looking 
at wireshark file is an accurate way to approach this data-rate 
calculation problem or something more appropriate exists.

Thanks
