In GNU Radio, the gr-fec framework implements forward error correction (FEC) through pairs of encoder/decoder deployment blocks, but there are other open-source implementations that include methods that perform better in some applications. This project will incorporate FEC methods from other open-source platforms, like AFF3CT, to improve GNU Radio's performance. Additionally, this project will develop a testbench to compare different FEC techniques and implementations using throughput and error rate.
