Thomas Kolb 7d1a927425 Calculate HackRF center frequency correctly 2024-04-20 01:07:21 +02:00
Thomas Kolb 32632914df Prevent TX exception in QPSK mode 
QPSK-modulated packets require more samples, which must be available in the TX
buffer. Therefore we increase the required free space.

Thomas Kolb 11f19c03a0 Fix TX handling for multiple packets 
- (only) time-based end-of-transmission tracking
  - removed tx_done flag
  - count zero-buffers correctly in time-tracking
  - add 10 ms of headroom so the transmission does not stop before buffer was
    completely transmitted (race condition)
  - fix race condition with tx_start_time in sdr_start_tx()
- simplified packet queuing (no chunking)
- read multiple packets before starting transmission (to fill buffers initially)

Thanks to rudi_s!

Thomas Kolb 91db4e1f75 rx: implement squelch + symsync reset 
Whenever the squelch opens, the symsync is reset to prevent lock-up in
that module due to noise.

Thomas Kolb 93fd8aebbc Lock TX to RX frequency for clients 
Central nodes (“base stations”) do no longer do coarse frequency estimation,
but do only use the preamble + PLL for fine offset tracking.

Thomas Kolb 07555edfdf Add CRC8 to the header 
This should prevent wrong decodings of modcod and packet length, which may disrupt decoding of directly following packets.

Thomas Kolb 16aa2ce92c correlator: improved phase estimation 
The phase is now calculated based on the preamble correlation directly instead
of the method of the frequency estimator.

Thomas Kolb e807f0617b rx: skip zero-length packets 
If passed on, these cause a segmentation fault in the channel decoder. As
zero-length packets currently make no real sense in this protocol, they are
ignored now.

Thomas Kolb f5a367464f Optimized one-shot frequency synchronization 
- Ramp-up length increased to 128 symbols (here is room for
  improvement!)
- Try to detect the frequency once during ramp-up. To do so, every
  second symbol is inverted (to remove the +/-1 symbol toggling) and the
  phase difference between neigboring resulting symbols is checked. When
  it is low enough for all symbols, the frequency is estimated and
  corrected. When frequency estimation was done, it is not retried for a
  number of incoming symbols in order to allow the timing estimator to
  converge again.
- This approach was verified in a simulated loopback test with frequency
  offset and AWGN.

Thomas Kolb e42602633e freq_est: implement L&R-based symbol-independent frequency estimation 
The RX chain uses this to acquire an initial estimate of the carrier frequency. The estimate is adjusted on every incoming symbol until a preamble is found.

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 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

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 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.
