Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] OFMD TX and RX

[Chris_Spain]

Thank you Fisheep, you confirmed what I was thinking but, I don't Know why,
the packets are been received with no errors, I lost packets but the packets
that I receive are good.

I don't Know how GNU Radio implementation maps 1024 bytes over 200 carriers
with a bpsk modulation, and then the transmission it's OK.

Cheers
