Just wanted to add that if you choose option four, ie you have at the output of the constellation_receiver a phase-corrected complex stream then you can use it directly as the input to the viterbi_combined block so that you avoid the use of the trellis.constellation_metrics_cf block.

How can I do that? constellation_receiver has four optional outputs. The fourth is a phase-corrected complex number. You could use this as the input to your metric calculation. > > 2. There is a function for metric calculation inside constellation_receiver. > Can I use it to implement viterbi? This function is called by trellis.constellation_metrics_cf which generates metrics that you can feed into the viterbi block. Metrics are calculated for every constellation point, so for large constellations the efficiency will be appalling. > > Thanks in advance > > > -- > Manu T S > _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnuradio mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnuradio
