[srslte-users] pdsch_enodeb > file and synch_file example

[Anderson, Douglas J.]

Hi,

I've been trying to figure out why I can't get any srslte library functions to work on output from pdsch_enodeb for greater than 6 PRBs.

For example here I create 100 frames at 6 PRBs, and synch_file detects all 100 frames (if I reduce the threshold). When I try the exact same thing with 25 PRBs (or any other bandwidth), I get nothing.

Peaking around with GDB, I can see that the peak to side-lobe ratio returned by the pss_synch function is ~1 for all N_id_2 above 6 PRB.

I'm concerned that it has something to do with the output of pdsch_enodeb, since I get the same results (no PSS correlation) even if I resample the output file down to 1.92 MHz before running synch_file.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about, running on srslte HEAD:
