The given channel bandwidth of 200 kHz is somewhat of an edge-case in terms of frequency selectiveness. Lower channel bandwidths will undergo flat fading, higher bandwidths will undergo frequency selective fading.
For a flat fading scenario, a singlecarrier solution would also be easy to implement and will make it easier to find a PA which amplifies the signal (due to lower PAPR). In case of high frequency selectiveness, the OFDM PHY layer is expected to be more robust but requires a very linear PA.
In order to compare both approaches, we will develop a singlecarrier version of the PHY layer which is compatible to the existing MAC layer.
Tasks
definition of the SC PHY layer
general single carrier modulation functions
new timing synchronization sequence and correlation algorithm
include pulse shaping
include training sequences and a LMS equalizer
integrate SC phy to current develop branch
Open Issues
compensate constant phase offsets
Initialize Platform for 300kSyms/s instead of the 256kSyms/s
Training sequences are currently transmitted regardless whether data is transmitted in a slot. Fix this
SC PHY Definition
300 kSymb/s sampling rate
RRC filter for pulse shaping, with factor 2 interpolation/decimation -> 150 kSymb/s baseband sampling rate
LMS Equalizer with 8 (?) taps
Every data slot will contain 40 training symbols at the beginning of the slot followed by 520 data symbols
Synchronization sequence is a 119 symbol Zadoff Chu sequence
Zadoff chu is also used in uplink for initial sync.
Hi @lukasostendorf I watched your SDRA talk and think that depending on how much bandwith you are willing to sacrifice, you might use FSK instead of PSK to be able to work with class C amplifiers. I recently implemented a 4FSK (RRC and 1/2 rate convolutional code) 96 kbit/s modem in qradiolink and am quite satisfied with RF performance on a regular FM amplifier.
hmmm single carrier ?? why not also add slower packet speeds?? on pluto you sure can transmit also in 1k2 2k4 4k8 9k6 and higher ... one unit fits all ... slow speed packet ... high speed packet ... hamnet ... whatevernet
