 The goal to build a functional demonstrator had been achieved, unfortunately not all of the originally planned features were implemented. A stable wireless link using QPSK modulation that computes the BER was developed.
 
 Some different typ of multiple fading model were tested and illustrated.
-Two different Models for the simulation options are build. One discrete time model whish is  basicly a FIR filter in the channel, the other with a statistical model which is based on a GR block.

 One other file to implement the hardware with. Unfortunately it was not possible to measure those in a meaningful way. For that a least square approximation could be used as described in the further steps. An other difficulty is to reproduce the same effect in a simulation compare with the hardware, because of al the side effect of the environment, which cant be predicted in a simulation.

-A difficulty was to check the correctness of the statistical models, if there is noise in the channel from the fading effect. Especially when the Doppler frequency is included. This was difficult to recreate, when the amplitude and phase parameter in which the amplitude and the phase shift can be seen exactly.

 \subsection{Empirical BER} \label{sec:ber}
 To find out how accurate the simulations are comparer with a simulation of the fadinng effect and tested measurements, the byte 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. Implemented according to the code in \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 a value on average 32, even when its perfect match.  So to avoid high numbers this value is subtracted and only on focused on the positive values.

 \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 flow graph the longest known Barker sequence  \texttt{0x1f35} (13 bits, left padded with zeros) 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 retain a good autocorrelation function after being modulated. A better solution would be to use for example a \emph{constant amplitude zero autocorrelation waveform} (CAZAC) of length \(N\), which is computed with

Though 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). 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}.
