Detailed Description

General FEC decoding block that takes in a decoder variable object (derived from gr::fec::general_decoder) for use in a flowgraph.

This block uses a decoder variable object (derived from gr::fec::generic_decoder) to decode data within a flowgraph. This block interacts with the general FECAPI architecture to handle all passing all input and output data in a flowgraph. The decoder variable takes care of understanding the requirements, data types and sizes, and boundary conditions of the specific FEC decoding algorithm.

Generally, this block is used within the fec.extended_decoder Python block to handle some input/output formatting issues. In the FECAPI, the decoder variable sets properties like the input and output types and sizes and whether the output is packed or unpacked bytes. The fec.extended_decoder uses this information to set up an gr::hier_block2 structure to make sure the I/O to the variable is handled consistently, such as to make sure all inputs are floats with one soft symbol per item and the outputs are unpacked bytes with the bit in the LSB.

See gr::fec::generic_decoder for detail on what information an FECAPI variable object can set if using this block directly and not as part of the fec.extended_decoder.

◆ calculate_output_stream_length()

int gr::fec::tagged_decoder::calculate_output_stream_length ( const gr_vector_int & ninput_items )

overridepure virtual

Calculate the number of output items.

This is basically the inverse function to forecast(): Given a number of input items, it returns the maximum number of output items.

You most likely need to override this function, unless your block is a sync block or integer interpolator/decimator.

Reimplemented from gr::tagged_stream_block.

◆ make()

static sptr gr::fec::tagged_decoder::make	(	generic_decoder::sptr	my_decoder,
		size_t	input_item_size,
		size_t	output_item_size,
		const std::string &	lengthtagname = `"packet_len"`,
		int	mtu = `1500`
	)

static

Create the FEC decoder block by taking in the FECAPI decoder object as well as input and output sizes.

Parameters

my_decoder	An FECAPI decoder object (See gr::fec::generic_decoder).
input_item_size	The size of the input items (often the my_decoder object can tell us this).
output_item_size	The size of the output items (often the my_decoder object can tell us this).
lengthtagname	Key name of the tagged stream frame size.
mtu	The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of the output frame that the block will be able to process. Specified in bytes and defaults to 1500.

◆ work()

int gr::fec::tagged_decoder::work	(	int	noutput_items,
		gr_vector_int &	ninput_items,
		gr_vector_const_void_star &	input_items,
		gr_vector_void_star &	output_items
	)

overridepure virtual

Just like gr::block::general_work, but makes sure the input is valid.

The user must override work to define the signal processing code. Check the documentation for general_work() to see what happens here.

Like gr::sync_block, this calls consume() for you (it consumes ninput_items[i] items from the i-th port).

A note on tag propagation: The PDU length tags are handled by other functions, but all other tags are handled just as in any other gr::block. So, most likely, you either set the tag propagation policy to TPP_DONT and handle the tag propagation manually, or you propagate tags through the scheduler and don't do anything here.

Parameters

noutput_items	The size of the writable output buffer
ninput_items	The exact size of the items on every input for this particular PDU. These will be consumed if a length tag key is provided!
input_items	See gr::block
output_items	See gr::block

Implements gr::tagged_stream_block.

The documentation for this class was generated from the following file:

tagged_decoder.h
