Hi Kayla, welcome to the discuss-gnuradio mailinglist. Nice that you found your way here. Before you start drafting on your proposal I recommend you get a little bit familiar with GNU Radio. You can do that by looking at our tutorials, which you can find in the wiki and through tutorials.gnuradio.org <http://tutorials.gnuradio.org/>
Within GNU Radio you will already find some blocks implementing channel codes/error correcting codes. But also a lot of modern codes and from recent research are missing/not implemented. Other libraries like https://aff3ct.github.io/ have verified and fast implementations. Maybe you find other open source libraries which we can pull in, too! If you have questions or problems you are welcome to ask here on the mailinglist or in our chatroom. We use matrix, if you already have an account you can join the general chat room through #gnuradio:gnuradio.org otherwise you can find some more information here https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php?title=Chat Cheers, Andrej > On 11.
