Thanks @odrisci ! I love the removing of duplicated code. This is definitely the way we should go. Needs more work, but I’m totally in about making these changes. I also like the renamings Still another issue: how do we rename I'm still processing other very intesresting changes you made :-) |
Good points Carles. In fact the change in nomenclature is just a "leakage"
from code that I use in other contexts, so I'm quite happy to revert the
"item_type_helpers" to use the standard gnss-sdr names. As it stands the
"fc32" style was supposed to be an internal naming convention in the helper
context. The table at the link you sent is great, somehow I missed this
before, so I can modify the code to use the nomenclature from that table
consistently.
Sorry to dump all these PRs on you right now, I'm rolling up a lot of
little changes that I have made over the last couple of years. Maybe not
all of them are appropriate for merging into the main code base, so don't
hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.
I have one or two more PRs that might be interesting that I'm working on
right now. I'll push them to github in the coming days

I also like the renamings gr_complex -> fc32, cshort -> ic16 and cbyte ->
ic8. However, this is a big change that impacts the configuration files,
the documentation, and many other source files in order to make it
consistent, and we should proceed carefully about it. At least, we should
define alias for the current nomenclature in order to make a soft
transition (that is, without breaking existing configurations), but
promoting from now on the new nomenclature, which should also include byte
-> i8, short -> i16 and float -> f32. Another option could be to adopt
the Volk nomenclature (8i, 16i, 8ic, 16ic, …) defined in the table at
https://gnss-sdr.org/docs/tutorials/understanding-data-types/#data-types-in-gnss-sdr
The aim should be to make it the most intuitive and most “standard
practice” as possible.
Still another issue: how do we rename ibyte and ishort (interleaved byte
and interleaved short) formats? They are equivalent to ic8 and ic16 in
terms of how data is stored, but it has other implications (i.e, data
rate). The Volk nomenclature makes no distiction between those types, but I
think having them defined makes sense in the GNSS context. In your
proposal, iic8and iic16 would look kind of weird.
I'm still processing other very intesresting changes you made :-)

i8->byte ic8->cbyte ... fc32->gr_complex
Previously a slope of 1 and a correlator spacing of +/- 1/2 chips was implicitly assumed.
Lots of updates here: o extracted out functions update_correlator_spacing and propagate_signal_parameters o Using new Tracking_loop_filter o Ensure correct discriminator normalization o Enable carrier aiding o Enable setting loop orders from config Work in progress - phase tracking not working

I've rebased this onto the #332, hence the force push. This now uses the gnss-sdr style item type names (byte, ibyte, cbyte, etc) |
in last commit
I've merged this branch and odrisci:fix_discriminator_normalization into gnss-sdr:odrisci-fix_discriminator_normalization, including the latest additions to next. I'm starting testing from there. |
Hi @odrisci This PR contained a lot of great ideas and improvements, it was just too much to be merged into the Most of them have already been merged into next at smaller steps, either by cherry-picking or by unshameless copy & paste (of course respecting your copyright on files). This is the list of new additions based on your PR:
There are still other interesting additions (e.g., frequency lock detector) which are not on |
Thanks Carles! I appreciate the work you did on this, I must try and update my local repo and rebase against your changes - maybe I can see if there are some more (smaller!) commits I can push back up. It will be a few weeks before I get a chance to have a look, but I'll let you know. Thanks again |
[DO NOT MERGE YET!]
This pull request updates the dll_pll_conf class to read from a ConfigurationInterface, refactors the implementation of dll_pll_veml_tracking and adds carrier aided code tracking as an option.
This addresses #335 and is open for discussion on the right way forward with the refactoring.
