FEC Tagged Encoder

Creates the encoder block for use in GNU Radio flowgraphs from a given FECAPI object derived from the generic_encoder class.

Generally, we would use the fec.extended_encoder Python implementation to instantiate this. The extended_encoder wraps up a few more details, like taking care of puncturing as well as the encoder itself.

Parameters

Constituent Encoder

An FECAPI encoder object child of the generic_encoder class.

MTU (bytes)

The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of the input frame that the block will be able to process. Specified in bytes and defaults to 1500.

Length Tag Name

Key name of the tagged stream frame size.

Example Flowgraph

Insert description of flowgraph here, then show a screenshot of the flowgraph and the output if there is an interesting GUI. Currently we have no standard method of uploading the actual flowgraph to the wiki or git repo, unfortunately. The plan is to have an example flowgraph showing how the block might be used, for every block, and the flowgraphs will live in the git repo.
