Detailed Description

Creates the encoder block for use in GNU Radio flowgraphs from a given FECAPI object derived from the generic_encoder class.

Generally, we would use the fec.extended_encoder Python implementation to instantiate this. The extended_encoder wraps up a few more details, like taking care of puncturing as well as the encoder itself.

Member Function Documentation

◆ fixed_rate_ninput_to_noutput()

int gr::fec::encoder::fixed_rate_ninput_to_noutput ( int  ninput)
overridepure virtual

Given ninput samples, return number of output samples that will be produced. N.B. this is only defined if fixed_rate returns true. Generally speaking, you don't need to override this.

Reimplemented from gr::block.

◆ fixed_rate_noutput_to_ninput()

int gr::fec::encoder::fixed_rate_noutput_to_ninput ( int  noutput)
overridepure virtual

Given noutput samples, return number of input samples required to produce noutput. N.B. this is only defined if fixed_rate returns true. Generally speaking, you don't need to override this.

Reimplemented from gr::block.

◆ forecast()

void gr::fec::encoder::forecast ( int  noutput_items,
gr_vector_int ninput_items_required 
)
overridepure virtual

Estimate input requirements given output request.

Parameters
noutput_itemsnumber of output items to produce
ninput_items_requirednumber of input items required on each input stream

Given a request to product noutput_items, estimate the number of data items required on each input stream. The estimate doesn't have to be exact, but should be close.

Reimplemented from gr::block.

◆ general_work()

int gr::fec::encoder::general_work ( int  noutput_items,
gr_vector_int ninput_items,
gr_vector_const_void_star input_items,
gr_vector_void_star output_items 
)
overridepure virtual

compute output items from input items

Parameters
noutput_itemsnumber of output items to write on each output stream
ninput_itemsnumber of input items available on each input stream
input_itemsvector of pointers to the input items, one entry per input stream
output_itemsvector of pointers to the output items, one entry per output stream
Returns
number of items actually written to each output stream or WORK_CALLED_PRODUCE or WORK_DONE. It is OK to return a value less than noutput_items.

WORK_CALLED_PRODUCE is used where not all outputs produce the same number of items. general_work must call produce() for each output to indicate the number of items actually produced.

WORK_DONE indicates that no more data will be produced by this block.

general_work must call consume or consume_each to indicate how many items were consumed on each input stream.

Reimplemented from gr::block.

◆ make()

static sptr gr::fec::encoder::make ( generic_encoder::sptr  my_encoder,
size_t  input_item_size,
size_t  output_item_size 
)
static

Build the FEC encoder block from an FECAPI encoder object.

Parameters
my_encoderAn FECAPI encoder object child of the generic_encoder class.
input_item_sizesize of a block of data for the encoder.
output_item_sizesize of a block of data the encoder will produce.
