Hi Karan, 

If you installed this gr-cdma module with DENABLE_DOXYGEN=ON, you can find the html documentation in usr/local/share/doc/gr-cdma/html/index.html 

This html gives a general description of the module and contains the documentation of all the c++ blocks used (flag_gen, chopper, vector_insert2), and all hier blocks. 

For the python blocks (kronecker_filter, freq_timing_estimator), you open your python and do: 

import cdma,

help(cdma)             #for a general look of cdma

help(cdma.kronecker_filter)    #for checking the documentation of the block kronecker_filter. 

Please feel free to reply if you have any additional questions or suggestions. 

Best,

Zhe

Hi Achillaes, 

                  can you tell me where the documentation of all the blocks used in cdma_tx and cdma_rx are? I tried the cdma_trrx.grc and i got a menu list with options to change freq and timing offset and eb/N0. But i wasn't able to transmit and recieve packets or know how changing parameters in the menu is changing the output. I would like to look into the documentation of inidvidual blocks to understand better.

Dear all,

the OOT module gr-cdma that we have been working on with Zhe Feng is now ready (also fully documented). You can find it here:

https://github.com/anastas/gr-cdma.git

An important acknowledgement:

this project grew out of the DARPA SPECTRUM CHALLENGE:

our team eventually dropped out of the race because of other time commitments but I and Zhe decided to finish up the design and make it publicly available since DARPA was generous enough to send us USRPs for testing etc.

I am looking forward to feedback from the community and to ideas for expanding/improving the design.

=======================================
For the impatient:

1) Download gr-cdma from github
> git clone https://github.com/anastas/gr-cdma.git

2) Build the package
> mkdir build_cdma
> cd build_cdma
> cmake -DENABLE_DOXYGEN=ON ../gr-cdma
> make
> sudo make install

> sudo ldconfig

3) compile hierarchical blocks and play with built in app
> cd gr-cdma/apps
> gnuradio-companion &
In the gnuradio-companion environment
-- Load the hier block "amp_var_est_hier.grc", "cdma_tx_hier.grc", "chopper_correlator1.grc", "cdma_rx_hier.grc" and compile them
making sure to reload blocks after each compilation
-- Load the application "cdma_txrx.grc" and have fun
   Experiment with manual acq/tra, auto acq/tra, changing freq and timing offset, SNR, etc
-- If you have 2 USRPs load the cdma_tx.grc and cdma_rx.grc and enjoy real-time
CDMA transmission. You can also use the cdma_tx.grc and cdma_rx.grc by writting
and reading to a fifo (first do > makefifo /tmp/cdma.fifo)
=====================================

best,

Achilleas
