Detailed Description

Default header formatter for PDU formatting.

Used to handle the default packet header.

See the parent class header_format_base for details of how these classes operate.

The default header created in this base class consists of an access code and the packet length. The length is encoded as a 16-bit value repeated twice:

  | access code | hdr | payload |

Where the access code is <= 64 bits and hdr is:

  |  0 -- 15 | 16 -- 31 |
  | pkt len  | pkt len  |

The access code and header are formatted for network byte order.

This header generator does not calculate or append a CRC to the packet. Use the CRC32 Async block for that before adding the header. The header's length will then measure the payload plus the CRC length (4 bytes for a CRC32).

The default header parser produces a PMT dictionary that contains the following keys. All formatter blocks MUST produce these two values in any dictionary.

  • "payload symbols": the number of symbols in the payload. The payload decoder will have to know how this relates to the number of bits received. This block knows nothing about the payload modulation or the number of bits/symbol. Use the gr::digital::header_format_counter for that purpose.

bool gr::digital::header_format_default::format ( int  nbytes_in,
const unsigned char *  input,
pmt::pmt_t output,
pmt::pmt_t info 
)
overridevirtual

Creates a header from the access code and packet length and creates an output header as a PMT vector in the form:

  | access code | pkt len | pkt len |
Parameters
nbytes_inThe length (in bytes) of the input payload
inputAn array of unsigned chars of the packet payload
outputA pmt::u8vector with the new header prepended onto the input data.
infoA pmt::dict containing meta data and info about the PDU (generally from the metadata portion of the input PDU). Data can be extracted from this for the header formatting or inserted.

Implements gr::digital::header_format_base.

Verify that the header is valid.

Implements gr::digital::header_format_base.

◆ header_payload()

int gr::digital::header_format_default::header_payload ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

Get info from the header; return payload length and package rest of data in d_info dictionary.

Implements gr::digital::header_format_base.

◆ make()

static sptr gr::digital::header_format_default::make ( const std::string &  access_code,
int  threshold,
int  bps = 1 
)
static

Factory to create an async packet header formatter; returns an sptr to the object.

Parameters
access_codeAn access code that is used to find and synchronize the start of a packet. Used in the parser and in other blocks like a corr_est block that helps trigger the receiver. Can be up to 64-bits long.
thresholdHow many bits can be wrong in the access code and still count as correct.
bpsThe number of bits/second used in the payload's modulator.

◆ parse()

bool gr::digital::header_format_default::parse ( int  nbits_in,
const unsigned char *  input,
std::vector< pmt::pmt_t > &  info,
int &  nbits_processed 
)
overridevirtual

Parses a header of the form:

  | access code | pkt len | pkt len | payload |

This is implemented as a state machine that starts off searching for the access code. Once found, the access code is used to find the start of the packet and the following header. This default header encodes the length of the payload a 16 bit integer twice. The state machine finds the header and checks that both payload length values are the same. It then goes into its final state that reads in the payload (based on the payload length) and produces a payload as a PMT u8 vector of packed bytes.

Parameters
nbits_inThe number of bits in the input array.
inputThe input as hard decision bits.
infoA vector of pmt::dicts to hold any meta data or info about the PDU. When parsing the header, the formatter can add info from the header into this dict. Each packet has a single PMT dictionary of info, so the vector length is the number of packets received extracted during one call to this parser function.
nbits_processedNumber of input bits actually processed; If all goes well, this is nbits_in. A premature return after a bad header could be less than this.

Implements gr::digital::header_format_base.

◆ set_access_code()

bool gr::digital::header_format_default::set_access_code ( const std::string &  access_code)

Updates the access code. Must be a string of 1's and 0's and <= 64 bits.

◆ set_threshold()

void gr::digital::header_format_default::set_threshold ( unsigned int  thresh = 0)

Sets the threshold for number of access code bits can be in error before detection. Defaults to 0.

◆ threshold()

unsigned int gr::digital::header_format_default::threshold ( ) const

Returns threshold value for access code detection.
