Experiments

For the aim of this project, mainly three different types of experiments have been realized:

1. Applications using code in Matlab for publications and theoretical demonstrations mainly.
2. Applications using the SDR platform for trying the algorithms with real components.
3. Applications deployed in real networks without using the SDR platform.

SDR Experiments

For this experiments, the USRP B210 and GRC 3.7.10 has been used, as explained in detail in the documentation section. The code of all this experiment (the .grc files) can be found in this github.

In addition to try the developed algorithms with real components, the SDR experiments are also intended for looking the benefits of modifying low level protocols using GNU Radio software.

For having a first contact with GNU Radio software, the GNU tutorials have been followed. This tutorial includes the simulation of a QAM transmission, where the main problems of the channel had been solve, such as noise, frequency and time synchronization problems, and multipath components. The code of this example can be found here.

Note: for executing this tutorial examples it is necessary to install the blocks created for the tutorial. This instructions are available in the github readme file.

OFDM

Most of the experiments realized until now are based on OFDM transmission.
