Hi, we are currently checking out, if we can use RFNoC to develop a simple PHY for real-time low-latency signal transmission. We have done this before in LabView, but now we need a small device for mobile applications, and our LV only supports big USRPs (X310). We are aiming to use the E310 device.
Hence, I was looking into RFNoC documentation to evaluate, if we should give it a try to re-develop the PHY layer within RFNoC using Vivado HLS. One main question that occurs to me immediately was: Can different blocks in RFNoC share a common timing? For example, in a TDD frame structure, the TX frame shall only be sent, when there is no reception going on. Can different blocks synchronize each other? As an example, a synchronization block (which knows when a reception is going on) should let the TX radio know, when it is allowed to transmit. The same goes for the AGC: The RX gain should only be changed, between the reception of two adjacent frames (otherwise one frame (which assumes a time-constant channel) would be destroyed). Hence, the synchronization should let the RX radio know, when it should change its AGC value. I would be very grateful, if you could point me to some documentation in this regard. I searched the internet, but unfortunately, did not find any information about this issue. Thank you very much for your assistance!
