- limit frequency adjustment range
- pre-filter the baseband signal to remove out-of-band interference
- reset the frequency acquisition periodically (every 30s) if no preamble is found
Packets are now read from the TUN device and transmitted. The signal
goes through a channel emulator and is then received + decoded. If
decoding is successful, the result is written back to the TUN device
(which does not make much sense, but works for testing).
Unfortunately, there still seems to be a problem in the receiver: packet
loss is very high even at extremely high SNRs.
This allows a higher layer to adjust data rate based on the current
channel conditions. For example, the SNR could be measured and if it
becomes too low for the current modulation/code, a lower-order
modulation or stronger code could be used.
