Performance Characterization of gr-owc, the GNURadio Out-of-Tree Module for Optical Wireless Communications

Volume 3

As researchers continue to explore novel technologies for future generations of wireless communications, flexible and adaptable tools are required for testing and development. Software-Defined Radios (SDRs) allow for flexible and reconfigurable signal processing, making them a crucial tool for rapid testing and experimental validation of communication systems. GNURadio is an open source SDR toolkit with functionality to extend it’s core software library by developing Out-Of-Tree (OOT) modules. Our gr-owc OOT..
