= Osmocom TETRA MAC/PHY layer experimentation code =
3 1
4 2 laforge
This code aims to implement the sending and receiving part of the
5
TETRA MAC/PHY layer.
6 1
7 2 laforge
If you read the ETSI EN 300 392-2 (TETRA V+D Air Interface), you will
8
find this code implementing the parts between the MAC-blocks (called
9
type-1 bits) and the bits that go to the DQPSK-modulator (type-5 bits).

It is most useful to look at Figure 8.5, 8.6, 9.3 and 19.12 of the
12
abovementioned specification in conjunction with this program.

There is a public mailing list regarding development of this project, you can

This list is '''for discussion between software developers''' who intend to improve the
55
Osmocom TETRA software.  It is not a forum for individuals asking how they can tap
56

        * contains a gnuradio based pi4/DQPSK demodulator, courtesy of KA1RBI
65

66
        * call demodulator on a 'cfile' containing complex baseband samples

The output of the demodulator is a file containing one float value for each symbol,
73
containing the phase shift (in units of pi/4) relative to the previous symbol.

75 2 laforge
You can use the "float_to_bits" program to convert the float values to unpacked
76
bits, i.e. 1-bit-per-byte

== PHY/MAC layer ==

81
=== library code ===
82
83
Specifically, it implements:
84
lower_mac/crc_simple.[ch]
85
        * CRC16-CCITT (currently defunct/broken as we need it for
86
          non-octet-aligned bitfields)
87
lower_mac/tetra_conv_enc.[ch]
88
        * 16-state Rate-Compatible Punctured Convolutional (RCPC) coder
89
lower_mac/tetra_interleave.[ch]
90
        * Block interleaving (over a single block only)
91
lower_mac/tetra_rm3014.[ch]
92
        * (30, 14) Reed-Muller code for the ACCH (broadcast block of
93
          each downlink burst)
94
lower_mac/tetra_scramb.[ch]
95
        * Scrambling
96
lower_mac/viterbi*.[ch]
97
        * Convolutional decoder for signalling and voice channels
98
phy/tetra_burst.[ch]
99
        * Routines to encode continuous normal and sync bursts
100
phy/tetra_burst_sync.[ch]
101
102
103
=== Receiver Program ===
104
105
The main receiver program 'tetra-rx' expects an input file containing a
106
stream of unpacked bits, i.e. 1-bit-per-byte.
107
108
109
=== Transmitter Program ===
110
111
The main program conv_enc_test.c generates a single continuous downlinc sync
112
burst (SB), contining:
113
        * a SYNC-PDU as block 1
114
        * a ACCESS-ASSIGN PDU as broadcast block
115
        * a SYSINFO-PDU as block 2
116
117
Scrambling is set to 0 (no scrambling) for all elements of the burst.
118
119
It does not actually modulate and/or transmit yet.
