Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] OFDM benchmark optimal parameter

Diyar,

benchmark_tx --help should help you.
You set the bandwidth, which sets the sampling rate; together with the occupied tones number related to the FFT length, you get a symbol rate.
Together with the modulation you set, this gives you a

Since only one program can use a USRP at a time, you can't use benchmark_tx and benchmark_rx at the same time.
Instead, use benchmark_tx with the "--to-file" option to save the samples to a file, and build a quick GNU Radio flow graph in GRC that has a file source (reading that file), a USRP sink (fed from the file source), a USRP source, and a file sink (saving the samples from the USRP source to another file).

Then use benchmark_rx with the --from-file option to read in these saved samples.

Best regards,
Marcus

Dear Marcus,

Thank you very much indeed for fast replying.

I look at tx benchmark help I could not find rates but there is packet size and megabytes to transmit.

so that, which one do you mean packet size or megabytes?

it is okay to use USRP B210 for transmitting and receiving by using to benchmark file?

because when I used one of them (tx or rx) and then I wanted to run another one the error come up (no device found for empty device address).

in advance many thanks.

Diyar,

with the benchmark_ scripts, you **set** the rates, and you can only observe how many packets were successfully transmitted.
The rest is really very basic math.

Best regards,
Marcus

Dear SangHyuk,

I would like to know how to measure Throughput and BER by using benchmark tx and rx?

could you show or explain with real example as you used.

in advance thanks.

Yes, but what is "user's performance"? Is it more important to have
higher throughput, or lower error rates? What about robustness?

I mean, the OFDM rx_benchmark is a really static example.
You might find a setting that maximizes troughput for a given channel,
but imagine something happens that reduces your receiver's SNR by 3dB:
Now your suddenly losing a lot of performance.

Really "how can I parameterize this" can only be answered for a single,
mathematically well-defined target, and for a well-defined channel.

In a real-world scenario, if using a transceiver with a fixed
modulation, you usually wouldn't maximize throughput for a given
setting, but you would define what "it still works sufficiently" means,
and then you'd define "the worst channel I want the system to still work
sufficiently".
Then you'd come up with a metric that gives you a number for "the link
quality on all considerable channels where this should be working", and
then you'd try to maximize that metric under the outage constraints set
before. Notice that this metric has to take things like error rate,
throughtput, the "cost" of re-sending something (if you have a mechanism
for that), available channel coding, how much you care about latency,
computational complexity (that really gets important with iterative
channel decoding),

In other words:
This is digital communications. If there was a single "best" solution,
we'd all be using that and be done. Use your digital communications
knowledge to analyze your requirements and challenges!

Best regards
Marcus
