The structure of a data packet used in the implementation is shown in \figref{fig:dataframe}. A frame begins with an user specified \(k\)-byte preamble, that in the current implementation serves as synchronization pattern. Another use case for the preamble sequence could be to introduce channel estimation pilot symbols. Following the preamble are 4 bytes encoded using a (31, 26) Hamming code (plus 1 padding bit), that contain metadata about the packet, namely payload ID and payload length. Because the payload length in bytes is encoded in 21 bits, the theoretical maximum payload size is 2 MiB, which together with 32 possible unique IDs gives a maximum data transfer with unique frame headers of 64 MiB. These constraints are a result of decisions made to keep the implementation simple.

The input signal for the envelope detector has 4 samples per symbol, while the output has only one sample per symbol.

In the latest version least mean square decision-directed (LMS-DD) equalizers have been used.

 % This works with the help of two filterbanks, one of them contains the filters of the signal adapted to the pulse shaping with several phases. The other contains its derivative. So in the time domain it has a sinc shape, for the output Signal the sinc peak should be on a sample, with the fact that sinc(0) = 1 and sinc(0)' = 0 an error signal can be generated which tells how far away from the peak it is. This error Signal should be zero this is possible with the help of a loop second order whish constants the number of the filterbank and the rate. This rate is generated because of the clock difference between the transmitter and receiver to synchronized the receiver the filter goes through the phases. For the output one sample per symbol is enough.

 \subsection{Fading with discrete time model}
 
 For the statical version according to \ref{sec:discrete-time-model} for implement and illustrate the fading effect, a separate block was created and implemented in the channel. Nearer shown in \ref{lst:fractional-delay-fir}. This block is based on a FIR filter. It can be displayed with a direct path (LOS) or without one (NLOS).
 With the help of this filter, the delay of the line of side paths are illustrated. In this block it is possible to simulate any number of these paths with different strengths, as long as there is an associated amplitude specified for each delayed ray. 
 
-A special case is show in \figref{fig:static-symb-specal-case} and in \figref{fig:static-symb-specal-case-NLOS}, where the delay in sample is the same as the sample per symbol value or a multiple of it. An other example is shown in \figref{fig:static-symb-specal-case-vec},with more diffident delayed paths.

 Unfortunately, these simulation values do not correspond to the reality, because too many incalculable side effects occur, which aren't possible to illustrate in this simulation.
 
 This block was additionally implemented with the method described in \ref{sec:fractional-delay} to allow non-integer delay values compared to the samples shown in \figref{fig:fractional-delay-sinc-plot}.

 \section{Issues in the current implementation}
 
 \subsection{Non modulated access codes}
 
-Currently as described in section \ref{sec:data-frame}, the access codes are put as bytes in front of the frame in the \(k\)-byte preamble. For this to work, the access code bytes must still have a good autocorrelation function after being modulated into symbols using the chosen modulation scheme. This works well with QPSK, because the constellation is quite simple and the length of the sequence is only halved after the modulation (since QPKS has 2 bits per symbol). Thus in the QPSK flowgraph, the longest known 13 bit Barker sequence \texttt{0x1f35} padded with zeros after MSB is sufficient (\(\approx 7\) symbols).

 With QAM however, the complexity of the constellation and the higher number of bits per symbol makes it increasingly difficult to find binary sequences that after being modulated still retain a good autocorrelation function. A better solution would be to use for example a \emph{constant amplitude zero autocorrelation waveform} (CAZAC) of length \(N\), which is computed with

Thus to use CAZAC waveforms the sender needs to put them in front of the modulated symbols (for example using a correctly parametrized stream mux block in GR), and the receiver would need to synchronize with the sequence before the clock recovery or equalization. The latter is especially problematic because then it is no longer possible to identify the peak by comparing the autocorrelation value to a fixed threshold as done in section \ref{sec:implement-phasecorr}.

Simple multipath channels can be simulated with just a few lines of code, for example the data for the static fading channel in \figref{fig:multipath-frequency-response-plots} is generated in just four lines of Python. The difficulty of fading channels in practice lies in the estimation of the constantly changing parameters \(c_k(t)\) and \(\tau_k(t)\).
