Hey folks, I have been working on a new scheduler for GNU Radio, called the GNU Radio Advanced Scheduler (GRAS). GRAS is a complete re-write and overhaul of the stock GNU Radio scheduler to implement new features, performance enhancements, and a simplified user API. A new buffer and threading

Hi, thanks Josh for this email, it's a great source of information! Let me ask a couple of questions: Will GRAS be included in the GNU Radio 3.7 release? Will users be able to select what scheduler they want to use (the current one or GRAS), or is GRAS going to replace the current scheduler?

A 2D-Wiener filter is the best solution in the MMSE sense, but time-variant and depends on the current SNR. A good suboptimal solution might be 2D interpolation based on a precalculated (Wiener-) filter given the pilot positions and some reasonable assumptions on the time/frequency correlation. A
