From 2b6a1bb89c8967ef37b878183814682baad99aef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: joebre Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 15:25:54 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Unify pcps_acquisition's Doppler search into a single N-bin API set_doppler_uncertainty() only ever supported two states: the full configured grid, or a single exactly-known bin (assisted narrowing's 2-bin variant). Regular searches, primary-frequency-assisted secondary signals, and any future partial-uncertainty search (e.g. a visibility- aware Doppler prediction with residual error) all had to be shoehorned into one of those two cases instead of directly stating how many candidate bins they actually need. Replaces it with set_doppler_num_bins(uint32_t): 0 is a sentinel for "the full configured range" (the only value a caller can't supply directly, since that count is otherwise private to this class); any other value is the literal candidate bin count, from 1 (exactly known, as when assisted by an already-tracked primary frequency) up to the full grid. Regular and narrowed searches now go through the exact same code path -- update_grid_doppler_wipeoffs(), compute_statistics(), the two statistic functions -- differing only in candidate_count. CFAR reference-bin placement is generalized the same way: needs_extra_reference_row(candidate_bins) reproduces both today's full-grid conditional extra-row behavior (only when the in-grid wraparound distance can't clear reference_bin_min_sidelobes) and narrowed mode's unconditional extra-row assumption, for any candidate count. d_min_reference_separation_hz is derived automatically from the new reference_bin_min_sidelobes config parameter (default 4) and coherent_integration_time_ms, rather than needing to be set directly. Also fixes a latent asymmetry: whenever a dedicated reference row is needed for more than one real candidate, two rows are now computed -- at +doppler_max and -doppler_max -- and the statistic picks whichever sits opposite the winning candidate's side of center. Previously the reference was always fixed at +doppler_max regardless of which side the signal landed on; a candidate near the edge of the search range could end up right next to its own reference sample. With exactly one real candidate (always at offset 0, no side to mirror), a single fixed row is kept, matching prior behavior. The detection threshold (d_threshold_active) is recalibrated by set_doppler_num_bins() whenever the active candidate count changes, since compute_threshold() folds the bin count into the false-alarm probability. Propagates the rename through AcquisitionInterface, PcpsAcquisitionAdapter, ChannelInterface, Channel, and GNSSFlowgraph's two assist_acquisition_doppler() call sites (0 -> literal full-grid sentinel for the regular/unassisted case, 1 for the dual-frequency-assisted case -- an exact inversion of the old uncertainty-flag convention). Verified: full local test suite (acq_test, trk_test, gnss_block_test, flowgraph_test -- 105 tests) passes against a from-scratch build off upstream/next, isolated from other in-progress work in this tree. --- .../adapters/pcps_acquisition_adapter.cc | 4 +- .../adapters/pcps_acquisition_adapter.h | 5 +- .../gnuradio_blocks/pcps_acquisition.cc | 270 ++++++++++++---- .../gnuradio_blocks/pcps_acquisition.h | 139 ++++++-- src/algorithms/acquisition/libs/acq_conf.cc | 13 +- src/algorithms/acquisition/libs/acq_conf.h | 50 ++- src/algorithms/channel/adapters/channel.cc | 4 +- src/algorithms/channel/adapters/channel.h | 2 +- src/core/interfaces/acquisition_interface.h | 14 +- src/core/interfaces/channel_interface.h | 4 +- src/core/receiver/gnss_flowgraph.cc | 4 +- ...pcps_acquisition_doppler_narrowing_test.cc | 296 ++++++++++++++---- 12 files changed, 617 insertions(+), 188 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/algorithms/acquisition/adapters/pcps_acquisition_adapter.cc b/src/algorithms/acquisition/adapters/pcps_acquisition_adapter.cc index 009324b0b..25700fdc8 100644 --- a/src/algorithms/acquisition/adapters/pcps_acquisition_adapter.cc +++ b/src/algorithms/acquisition/adapters/pcps_acquisition_adapter.cc @@ -303,9 +303,9 @@ void PcpsAcquisitionAdapter::set_doppler_center(int doppler_center) } -void PcpsAcquisitionAdapter::set_doppler_uncertainty(unsigned int doppler_uncertainty) +void PcpsAcquisitionAdapter::set_doppler_num_bins(unsigned int doppler_num_bins) { - acquisition_->set_doppler_uncertainty(doppler_uncertainty); + acquisition_->set_doppler_num_bins(doppler_num_bins); } diff --git a/src/algorithms/acquisition/adapters/pcps_acquisition_adapter.h b/src/algorithms/acquisition/adapters/pcps_acquisition_adapter.h index b076b24f6..4d228c9c7 100644 --- a/src/algorithms/acquisition/adapters/pcps_acquisition_adapter.h +++ b/src/algorithms/acquisition/adapters/pcps_acquisition_adapter.h @@ -103,9 +103,10 @@ public: void set_doppler_center(int doppler_center) override; /*! - * \brief Set Doppler uncertainty for the grid search + * \brief Set the number of Doppler bins to search, centered on + * set_doppler_center() -- see pcps_acquisition::set_doppler_num_bins(). */ - void set_doppler_uncertainty(unsigned int doppler_uncertainty) override; + void set_doppler_num_bins(unsigned int doppler_num_bins) override; /*! * \brief Returns the maximum peak of grid search diff --git a/src/algorithms/acquisition/gnuradio_blocks/pcps_acquisition.cc b/src/algorithms/acquisition/gnuradio_blocks/pcps_acquisition.cc index d1c97b2c0..f9107f591 100644 --- a/src/algorithms/acquisition/gnuradio_blocks/pcps_acquisition.cc +++ b/src/algorithms/acquisition/gnuradio_blocks/pcps_acquisition.cc @@ -131,11 +131,18 @@ pcps_acquisition::pcps_acquisition(const Acq_Conf& conf_) d_magnitude_grid_stride(aligned_row_stride(d_effective_fft_size)), d_doppler_wipeoffs_stride(aligned_row_stride(d_fft_size)), d_num_doppler_bins(static_cast(std::ceil(static_cast(2 * d_doppler_max) / static_cast(d_doppler_step)))), - d_num_doppler_bins_step1_capacity(std::max(d_num_doppler_bins, 2U)), d_num_doppler_bins_step2(conf_.num_doppler_bins_step2), d_dump_channel(conf_.dump_channel), - d_threshold(conf_.pfa > 0.0 ? compute_threshold(conf_.pfa, d_effective_fft_size, d_num_doppler_bins, conf_.bit_transition_flag ? 1 : conf_.max_dwells) : conf_.threshold), - d_threshold_narrowed(conf_.pfa > 0.0 ? compute_threshold(conf_.pfa, d_effective_fft_size, 1U, conf_.bit_transition_flag ? 1 : conf_.max_dwells) : conf_.threshold), + d_min_reference_separation_hz((static_cast(conf_.reference_bin_min_sidelobes) + 0.5F) / (static_cast(conf_.sampled_ms) / 1000.0F)), + // Inline, not via needs_extra_reference_row(candidate_bins) -- that + // helper reads d_use_CFAR_algorithm_flag, declared (so initialized) + // later in this same list; see its own doc comment in the header. + d_full_grid_reference_needs_extra_row(conf_.use_CFAR_algorithm_flag && (static_cast(d_num_doppler_bins / 2) * static_cast(d_doppler_step) < d_min_reference_separation_hz)), + // A full grid worth needing a dedicated reference row for is always + // > 1 candidate bin in practice (see d_num_reference_rows_active's doc + // comment for why the count differs at exactly 1 candidate) -- so this + // ceiling reserves 2 rows, not 1, whenever the row is needed at all. + d_num_doppler_bins_full_grid_active(d_num_doppler_bins + (d_full_grid_reference_needs_extra_row ?

That was never asked for and contradicts the whole point of this unification -- N is supposed to be authoritative, full stop. A caller that actually wants a safety margin around its own estimate should just request that many bins directly (set_doppler_num_bins(3), not set_doppler_num_bins(1) plus a config flag that silently changes what "1" means). Removes both config parameters entirely (enable_assisted_doppler_narrowing, doppler_narrowing_num_bins) along with the widening branch in set_doppler_num_bins(). Dual-frequency-assisted secondary acquisition now always searches exactly 1 bin, unconditionally -- no config knob changes that. Does not reintroduce next's original enable_doppler_narrowing name/semantics either (a master on/off switch that could fall back an assisted request to the full grid): under the unified API, the caller's N is never second-guessed by a flag, matching this PR's whole premise. Test file updated to match: init() drops both removed parameters, and the two tests that specifically exercised the widening path (NarrowingWithMultipleCandidateBinsRecoversOffsetEstimate, NarrowedDumpMetadataMultipleCandidateBins) now request their multi-bin coverage directly (set_doppler_num_bins(5)) instead of relying on config-driven expansion from N == 1 -- same coverage, no removed feature required to exercise it. Verified: full local test suite (105 tests) passes against a from-scratch build, isolated from other in-progress work. --- .../gnuradio_blocks/pcps_acquisition.cc | 24 +--- src/algorithms/acquisition/libs/acq_conf.cc | 11 -- src/algorithms/acquisition/libs/acq_conf.h | 14 -- ...pcps_acquisition_doppler_narrowing_test.cc | 127 +++++++++--------- 4 files changed, 68 insertions(+), 108 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/algorithms/acquisition/gnuradio_blocks/pcps_acquisition.cc b/src/algorithms/acquisition/gnuradio_blocks/pcps_acquisition.cc index f9107f591..e8db84480 100644 --- a/src/algorithms/acquisition/gnuradio_blocks/pcps_acquisition.cc +++ b/src/algorithms/acquisition/gnuradio_blocks/pcps_acquisition.cc @@ -474,7 +474,7 @@ void pcps_acquisition::dump_results(const AcquisitionResult& result) std::array dims_2d{d_effective_fft_size, d_num_doppler_bins_active}; // acq_grid's candidate columns -- all of them for a plain full-grid - // search, or the first doppler_narrowing_num_bins of them when narrowed + // search, or just the requested candidate count when narrowed // (the trailing column there is the noise-reference bin at // doppler_center + d_doppler_max, not representable in this linear // encoding) -- are placed symmetrically around doppler_center, matching @@ -1024,24 +1024,12 @@ void pcps_acquisition::set_doppler_num_bins(uint32_t num_doppler_bins) gr::thread::scoped_lock lock(d_setlock); // require mutex with work function called by the scheduler // 0 is the only value a caller can't just supply directly -- the full // grid's own candidate count is otherwise private to this class -- so it - // means "the full configured range" here, same as always. + // means "the full configured range" here, same as always.
