Hi Tom,

define "embedded". If you use an x86 or powerful multi-core ARM
Single-Board-Computer, which I'd argue can be an embedded device, then
sure, I don't see any limitations with that compared to what you can do
on a PC. Of course, dealing with 20 MHz channels on a poor ARM processor
is very hard, so this might or might not work out, and might require
hand-tweaking system performance. Don't forget that if using
gr-ieee-802-11, you'll need a high-bandwidth link to your SDR hardware –
typically, Gigabit Ethernet or USB3, the CPU power to handle the torrent
of data that enters and leaves your computer as samples through that
link, the power to process that data, and only if you've got all that
covered and still have CPU to spare to actually do something with your
data payload, you might consider doing a sensible network data rate
benchmark.

Generally, regarding rate: This is not 100.0% true, but in essence:
Either your computer is fast enough to run the flow graph at the
sampling rate you need to cover the full channel, or not. It's not like
"my slow computer can reliably use gr-ieee-802-11, but to get great
rates, I'll need a slightly faster one".
It's more like "my computer is too slow, the CPU can't keep up with the
millions of samples needing processing per second, so it totally does
not work", or "my computer is fast enough, it reliably works in all modes".

Best regards,

Marcus
