Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] LDPC codes - GSOC 2013

[Jens Elsner]

Hi Maria and everyone else interested in the LDPC code project!

The LDPC GSoC proposal has drawn quite some interest, and I'm very 
happy about that. A few student have already discussed their proposals 
with me offline.

A few points for all of you:

1. I'd like to keep the project practical, the outcome should be a set 
of blocks that can be used in real-time data transmission and ideally 
beat (in terms of coding gain) the currently available blocks.

2. Please do research on what's been published (and the software 
licenses) and what can be GNU Radio-fied and what needs to written. If 
we don't have to start from scratch, that's great. Just give credit 
where credit is due.

3. The proposals for the LDPC project will compete in the end and all 
mentors will decide jointly which (of all) proposals have the best 
chances of success. If you are really interested in another topic as 
well, you might consider submitting two proposals to increase your 
chances.

Draft a proposal and I'll give you feedback off-list.

Best regards,
Jens
