Requirements

GnuRadio v3.8.5.0 (Branch: maint-3.8)
- Dependencies for Ubuntu
UHD v4.1.0.5
Eigen3
- sudo apt-get install libeigen3-dev
Qt5Qwt6 (should be installed with the dependencies of GnuRadio v3.8)
- sudo apt-get install libqt5opengl5-dev
QWT (should be installed with the dependencies of GnuRadio v3.8)
- sudo apt-get install libqwt-qt5-dev

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ceyhunozkaptan/gr-mimo-ofdm-jrc.git
cd gr-mimo-ofdm-jrc
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig

Usage

Packet Generator App:

This application can generate Data Packets (DATA) or Null Data Packets (NDP). It utilizes an internal UDP socket to send packets to the GnuRadio flowgraph.
