+== Simple radio example with GNURADIO benchmark scripts ==
+
+[[TOC(Tutorials/k0SDR*)]]
+
+=== Description ===
+This example will utilize an OEDL experiment script to execute packet transfers over a radio link created using GNU Radio. This is will involve running a GNU Radio benchmark script two nodes each with a USRP2.
+
+=== Hardware / Software Resources utilized ===
+ 1. Grid nodes with a USRP2 connect via Ethernet.
+ 2. ''baseline-12-04-gnu.ndz'': disk image loaded onto nodes. This image has all the precompiled - software required to configure the USRP2s and all the required GNU Radio software libraries. The USRP2's interface with the node is already configured.
+ 3. GNU Radio - software library to create SDR. Click here for [http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/WhatIsGR additional info].
+ 4. USRP2 - hardware platform for SDR. Click here for [http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/Hardware#Ettus-Research-USRP-Devices more info].
+
+=== Set up ===
+ * To get started first make a reservation on the [https://www.orbit-lab.org/cPanel/controlPanel/start Orbit Scheduler] for using the Grid.
+
+ * After logging into grid console, make sure all nodes are turned off
+{{{
+nilanjan@console.grid:~$ omf tell -a offh -t system:topo:all
+}}}
+
+ * Verify state of node before continuing. Make sure all nodes are in the POWEROFF state.
+{{{
+nilanjan@console.grid:~$ omf stat
+}}}
+
+ * Image nodes. Two (2) are required to run - check [https://www.orbit-lab.org/cPanel/controlPanel/start inventory status] to find nodes with 2 similar USRP2s. In this examples we'll use node1-1 and node1-2.
+{{{
+nilanjan@console.grid:~$ omf load -i baseline-12-04-gnu.ndz -t node1-1,node1-2
+}}}
+
+ * Turn nodes back on and verify they are in POWERON state
+{{{
+nilanjan@console.grid:~$ omf tell -a on -t system:topo:imaged
+}}}
+
+=== Running OEDL script and viewing results ===
+ * Run the experiment script using the following OMF command. The output is show as well.

+* Results from running the OEDL experiment can be found in a log file in /tmp directory. The name of the log file is the ''default_slice'' name found from the OEDL output appended with .log. A successful run will have several lines similar to the following. This is will show the packet number, number of packets received and the number of correctly formed packets as seen from the receiver.
