GNU Radio's GFDM Package

Welcome to the GNU Radio GFDM Block

The gr-gfdm project is an Free Software Package which aims to provide an implementation of Generalized Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM) in the GNU Radio framework. GFDM is a proposed waveform for use in 5G.

This project was initiated as a Bachelor Thesis at the Communication Engineering Lab (CEL) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany, http://www.cel.kit.edu.
