Hi
I have been working in usrp2 testbed, and I have been modifying the benchmark_tx and rx programs for my project. There have been situations where I was supposed to introduce noise to find out BER. I did that by giving lower  transmitter amplitude values. But very low values cause packet loss along with higher BER values. I just want to know if there Is there anyway to just cause high BER values, without causing packet loss? Is there any way I can do that inside the program or should I do it by any other way e.g.by using some noise producing source?
     
Well, in real-world radio communications systems, low-SNR *does* cause packet loss.  That's entirely expected.  Nature doesn't discriminate
  between packet-synchronization data, and the actual payload data.

Perhaps he could design a long preamble sequence, many symbols, and use that to correlate against. That way you can assure packet lock, but symbol decoding might not always work.
