named fifo (byte - byte transfer)

2019-10-30 Thread hamzeh elsayed
Hi,

I did the following:
1) in linux terminal I create a fifo file as :
$ mkfifo in
2) in gnuradio I did:
file source (file name : in)-> throttle -> file sink (output file: out.txt)

[image: image.png]

then for running, I did the following:
1) run the flowgraph
2) in terminal, I run
$ cat > in

then only if I wrote a large number for characters, those characters are
transferred.

for example if I wrote 10 bytes in fifo in to transmit them, any byte is
not written in the file out.txt. while, if 15000 bytes are written in fifo
in the some of these 15000 bytes are transferred to out.txt but not all of
them.

it seems to me that fifo in gnuradio does not transfer each byte alone, is
saves a number of bytes as a packet then it send them together.

my question is :

1) how to transfer each byte alone in my flowgraph example using unix pipe?

2) if I can not transfer each byte alone, what is the size of packet that
are buffered and the transferred together?

3) If the last bytes are less than packet size, then they are not
transferred. therefore, how I can I transfer them?

if I have to do padding then I have to know the size of the buffer or
packet? Is it fixed or not?

Thanks for your time and help

Best regards


Subject Line Prefix Missing

2019-10-30 Thread Ed Criscuolo

I've noticed that recent postings to the list are missing
the "[Discuss-gnuradio] prefix that was automatically
added to the subject line.

Was this  a deliberate change? I hope not, as I find that
feature very useful in picking out the list messages
from amid all the spam.

Hi,

we've covered pretty much exactly your three questions in a mailing
list thread earlier this month. Let me link to the archive:

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnuradio/2019-10/index.html

It's the mails with subject "fifo / file source".

In essence, "cat" is buffered, and so you need to use a different
program that makes sure the fstream it outputs is unbuffered. GNU Radio
has no influence on the buffering your writing process does.

Best regards,
Marcus

Hi Ed,

"deliberate" would be wrong. Surprising, not really, if we'd have read
the info mails from the gnu.org mailing list admin more carefully:

In the process of respecting DMARC in the ML infrastructure, they
disabled rewriting of the subject line for outgoing mail servers that
signal strict DMARC compliance. The mailing list seems to think your
server does (I don't know why, to be honest, can't seem to find those
DNS entries).

So, for now, my understanding is that there's nothing *we* can do about
it. (We should be able to change the settings of the ML; but in which
range, and what we'd break on the way, isn't quite clear to us at this
point.)

For some reason, my university mail server seems to sort these mails
correctly, and so do GMail instances. Probably a list header? 

Best regards,
Marcus

Re: Subject Line Prefix Missing

2019-10-30 Thread Johannes Demel
Hi all,

I was wondering about that mailing list behavior as well.

My solution
1. If "Mail From 'discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org'"
2. If "Mail To 'discuss-gnuradio@gnu.org'"
In my case: move to folder.
1. covers original mails
2. covers replies.

I had to split this into 2 separate rules but that's due to my email 
service provider.
This solution is more verbose about who receives such an email. e.g. 
off-list replies should not end up to be caught by these rules.

Anyways, I just wanted to share my 2 cents on that. Maybe someone finds 
this info useful.

Cheers
Johannes

Re: Lunar Orbiting Platform Gateway

2019-10-30 Thread Michelle Thompson
I was hesitant to ask why, but I'm curious now.

I know the Gateway is controversial. I understand there's a lot of doubt it
will actually happen. The heavy emphasis on commercial activity is another
aspect.

However, I've been asked for help on a receiving station for the amateur
radio portions that might be included. There's a lot of overlap between
what I do and the type of communications proposed.

Comment and critique would be very appreciated here.

Mailing list software for decades inserts unique headers for filtering
purpose.  "List-Id" is AFAICT the most common one, which is also used by
GNU mailman.  It has been specified in 2001 in RFC2919

FM and FreeDV cross-mode repeater with qradiolink

2019-10-30 Thread Adrian Musceac
Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that I have created an AppImage of qradiolink
based on Debian Buster libraries. There have been some changes recently,
and now the VOIP GUI can do cross-mode repeat from FM to FreeDV and
viceversa. Other modes like AM and SSB work a little as well, but despite
all my efforts I was unable to write a good enough SSB demodulator. I think
I have either a problem understanding the AGC in GNU radio or a problem
understanding how SSB should be demodulated.
Many thanks to A. Maitland Bottoms who exposed the FreeDV API and maintains
the Debian GNU radio package, making it possible for people like me who
don't own SSB radios anymore to use FreeDV.

Adrian

Even non-Mailinglist software, e.g. GitHub, EBay, Deutsche Bahn, are
supplying custom List-Id headers for separate topics. In case of GitHub
one can use List-Id headers to automatically separate mails for
different repositories without looking at the content or Subject.

Re: Lunar Orbiting Platform Gateway

2019-10-30 Thread Kevin K Gifford
Hi -

I am involved in recommending the radio communications architecture for Gateway 
which is baselined to utilize CCSDS (see cases.org) protocols.

For long-haul RF links (Gateway to Earth) Unified Space Link Protocol (USLP).

For short-haul RF (Gateway to lunar surface): Proximity-1 and AOS

For proximity wireless networks (around Gateway and on lunar surface) 802.11 
n/ac baselined, 802.11ax and LTE are under strong consideration.

Please feel free to respond directly if additional information is needed and 
I’ll strive to assist.
