 \subsection{Improvements in the GUI front-end}
 
 In addition to fixing the issue discussed in section \ref{sec:gui-issue-single-threaded}, a very important feature that is currently missing is the ability to change the fading parameters in real time from within the GUI. Dear PyGUI offers many graphical elements that could be used to control the parameters, however a new GR block would need to be created to propagate the updated values into the flow graph.

 An interesting continuation of this work could be to regularly interpolate some so called pilot symbols in the modulated data stream. In short, the pilot symbol assisted modulation (PSAM) technique consists of periodically inserting informationless (known) symbols in the data stream, which can then be used to estimate the fading parameters of the communication channel. More details are presented in \cite{Xiaoyi1999} (and its references) from which the illustrations in \figref{fig:psam} were taken.

 \subsubsection{Implementing fine phase and frequency correction} \label{sec:implement-phasecorr}
 
-To implement in GR what was discussed in section \ref{sec:phasecorr} two blocks shown in \figref{fig:sync-lock-flowgraph} were used: a correlator estimator block, and a custom block. The former essentially implements the first 3 of the steps discussed at the end of section \ref{sec:phasecorr}. The correlator estimator block is given a sequence of samples, and when the cross correlation between them and the input stream is higher than a certain threshold (90\% of the amplitude of a perfect autocorrelation), it produces a ``tag'' in the output stream, that contains the phase estimate.

 Tags are GR's way of working with metadata that is attached to a sample. Internally tags are just polymorphic data structures containing a number indicating the absolute offset (in samples), and a pair of arbitrary values called ``key'' and ``value''. Tags are passed on from one block to the next like sample streams (unless the block specifies to do otherwise).

An other example is shown in the same figure,with more diffident delayed paths.

 \subsection{Fading with statistical model}
 
-In order to represent the effect of multipath fading not only statically, a second model was created using the Frequency Selective Fading Model from GR, according to \ref{sec:statistical-model}, which was implemented using the algorithm from the paper \cite{Alimohammad2009}, with the help of the sum-of sinusoid principle (SOS). The algorithm in this block is implemented with the aim that only a small number of sinusoids are needed to simulate each ray. For the simulations shown the value 8 has been chosen.

 \subsection{Empirical BER} \label{sec:ber}
 To find out how accurate the simulations are compared with a simulation of the fading effect and measurements, the bit error rate of the system is calculated. This is done with the help of a user specified \(k\)-byte test frame in the beginning of each vector. As seen in listing \ref{lst:ber-work}. Every bit is compared with the test vector at the beginning before the modulation and demodulation part. 
 Because of the fact that the test vector has some random bit at the end, the bit error rate has always an average value of 32, even if the tow different vectors are  perfect match. To only focus on the BER of the signal, this value is subtracted.

 and \(M\) is relatively prime to \(N\) \cite{Chu1972}. CAZAC waveforms are ideal because they have a Dirac delta as autocorrelation \cite{Chu1972}, i.e. \(R_{uu}(\tau) = \delta(\tau)\). Unfortunately, since these complex values are not on any constellation point they break some assumptions of the polyphase clock sync and the LMD DD equalizer (but not CMA, which unfortunately cannot be used for QAM). Thus, to use CAZAC waveforms, the transmitter 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}. Because of the aforementioned reasons, in its current state the QAM flow graph is unable to lock and decode any signals.

 \subsection{Single threaded GUI application} \label{sec:gui-issue-single-threaded}
 
 The current GUI prototype built with DearPyGUI has some issues, the most critical begin that it is a single-threaded program. The interprocess communications (with GR's flow graphs) should be on a separate thread from the graphics, what is currently not the case. The problem is not noticeable as long as the flow graphs in the background keep sending data, but as soon as the UDP/IP data stream stops, the timeout of the socket interface causes the interface to run at less than 20 frames per second.
