Thomas Kolb c8e0516e80 Implement time-based carrier sensing
In the following events, the modem cannot switch to transmit mode for the
given time:

- after a preamble has been received, for 500 ms
- after a packet has been successfully decoded, for 1 ms
- after receive mode was initially enabled, for 500 ms

Note that the times are that long to work around the RX/TX switching of
the hackrf and can be hopefully reduced to <10 milliseconds in a later
version.

Thomas Kolb 886a78018f RX: write correct sample rate to debug file 2022-05-07 20:13:01 +02:00
Thomas Kolb b2d6c713e1 Briefly start in TX mode to ensure correct RX frequency
Obviously SoapyHackRF does not set the correct RX frequency on startup.
This is a crude but effective workaround.

Thomas Kolb ec99cedaf4 rx: improvements made during on-air testing
- 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

Thomas Kolb 934b18e382 Integrate TUN device interface
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.

Thomas Kolb 1787d0d351 layer1: implement per-packet modulation/coding
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.

Thomas Kolb 947615f5cd First complete RX chain
Decoding of the test message works down to ~10 dB SNR.

Still missing:
- Phase tracking during header and payload.
- CRC calculation and check.
- Data whitening.

Thomas Kolb b6713909f7 Make initial frequency sync much faster
The NCO frequency is now only adjusted every 8 symbols. That means that
the frequency error over the last 8 symbols before the adjustment is
(almost) constant, giving a good estimation result. Therefore, the
adjustment factor can be much larger than previously, leading to faster
acquisition time.
