This is the first major release of gr-gfdm, a GNU Radio Out-Of-Tree (OOT) module.

The gr-gfdm project is a 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. It has since evolved and is used in over-the-air demos at the Department of Communications Engineering (ANT) at University of Bremen, Germany.

Tackling current issues with OFDM several new waveforms are proposed for consideration in 5G. FBMC, UFMC, BFDM and GFDM are the names of the proposed waveforms and they are filtered multicarrier systems. Orthogonality of neighboring carriers is no constraint.
