Hi all,
I'm in the progress of implementing the 802.11 short preamble on the TX side. There is code on the RX side (based on yesterday's discussion) to handle a short preamble, but I am positive there is no code on the TX side to transmit using a short preamble. Of course, I'd like to implement it as an option.
The main crux of it is ensuring that only the preamble is modulated at 1Mbps, and that the PLCP header is actually modulated at 2Mbps. This is unlike the long preamble where both are modulated at 1Mbps.
Build, etc, and then go to gr-bbn/src/examples and run ./bbn_80211b_sptest.py ... you will see this, for example:
Recieved (short) header! signal: 0xCA service: 0xA0 length: 0x52FA crc: 0xB86C Calculated crc: 0xE491 *** BAD CRC ***
