Hi all,
I'm developing gr-gsm - the ancestor of Airprobe's gsm-receiver. I want to add support for 8-PSK reception. I'm going to implement a demodulator (preferably doing also channel equalization) and also modulator (currently mostly to generate test data).
I don't want to duplicate work that was already done so I want to ask if you are aware of any publicly available 8-PSK implementations (or partial implementations) aimed at supporting EDGE reception? Also I will greatly appreciate pointing to any documents containing good information on this topic.
Hi Piotr,
The digital signal processor part of the OpenBSC project is Osmo-TRX. Please take a look here:
http://cgit.osmocom.org/osmo-trx/
It implements an almost full featured 2G transceiver, including modulation, demodulation.
Tom Tsou is the maintainer of that part of the code. He is fairly busy, but I copied him to this mail, lets see if he can point you in the correct direction.
I would recommend you to read Toms masters thesis in this area:
http://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-09242012-133001/unrestricted/...
It will give you a nice insight how Osmo-TRX works, and what are the challenges to implement something you want.
There is a clear intention to improve OpenBSC with EDGE capability, so your work in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Csaba
