= Osmocom TETRA MAC/PHY layer experimentation code =
3
4
This code aims to implement the sending and receiving part of the
5
TETRA MAC/PHY layer.
6
7
If you read the ETSI EN 300 392-2 (TETRA V+D Air Interface), you will
8
find this code implementing the parts between the MAC-blocks (called
9
type-1 bits) and the bits that go to the DQPSK-modulator (type-5 bits).
10
11
It is most useful to look at Figure 8.5, 8.6, 9.3 and 19.12 of the
12
abovementioned specification in conjunction with this program.

== Mailing List ==
51
There is a public mailing list regarding development of this project, you can
52
visit the subscription page at https://lists.osmocom.org/mailman/listinfo/tetra
53
54
This list is '''for discussion between software developers''' who intend to improve the
55
Osmocom TETRA software.  It is not a forum for individuals asking how they can tap
56
into police radio (which is encrypted anyway).

        * use demodulator in realtime with a [wiki:Funcube_Dongle]. Please use the [https://github.com/csete/qthid qthid] application to tune the dongle and adjust its gain/filter parameters for best reception result. This demodulator may also be used with other Softrock-type receivers by downconverting the intermediate frequency of a radio scanner to the complex baseband.

75
The output of the demodulator is a file containing one float value for each symbol,
76
containing the phase shift (in units of pi/4) relative to the previous symbol.
77
78
You can use the "float_to_bits" program to convert the float values to unpacked
79
bits, i.e. 1-bit-per-byte

== PHY/MAC layer ==

=== library code ===

Specifically, it implements:

88
{{{lower_mac/crc_simple.[ch]}}}
89
        * CRC16-CCITT (currently defunct/broken as we need it for
90
          non-octet-aligned bitfields)

{{{lower_mac/tetra_interleave.[ch]}}}
94
        * Block interleaving (over a single block only)
95
{{{lower_mac/tetra_rm3014.[ch]}}}
96
        * (30, 14) Reed-Muller code for the ACCH (broadcast block of
97
          each downlink burst)

{{{lower_mac/tetra_scramb.[ch]}}}

103
        * Routines to encode continuous normal and sync bursts
104
{{{phy/tetra_burst_sync.[ch]}}}
105
106
107
=== Receiver Program ===
108
109
The main receiver program {{{tetra-rx}}} expects an input file containing a
110
stream of unpacked bits, i.e. 1-bit-per-byte.
111
112
113
=== Transmitter Program ===
114
115
The main program {{{conv_enc_test.c}}} generates a single continuous downlink sync
116
burst (SB), contining:
117
        * a SYNC-PDU as block 1
118
        * a ACCESS-ASSIGN PDU as broadcast block
119
        * a SYSINFO-PDU as block 2
120
121
Scrambling is set to 0 (no scrambling) for all elements of the burst.
122
123
It does not actually modulate and/or transmit yet.

== Quick example ==
127

assuming you have generated a file samples.cfile at a sample rate of 195.312kHz (100MHz/512 == USRP2 at decimation 512)
