Hi Alex, Thanks for sharing your experience. Are you using RawOFDM or Benchmark OFDM?
I agree with you that we need more powerful PCs because for large bandwidth we have too much samples to process. Furthermore, the bottleneck is definitely in the receiving part because in our system the transmitter can support 20MHz OFDM transmitting well. And the signal processing complexity of OFDM receiver is much higher than transmitter. I think our PCs are powerful enough (4 cores cpu at 2.4G) and we are ready to purchase some more powerful PCs (8 cores at 3.3G). But I wonder that even 3.3G cpu still cannot support 20MHz bandwidth. Does anyone have other solutions such as using parallel signal processing or multi-thread? We have 8-core cpu but we don't know how to fully utilize them using gr.
