Don't raise exception if MIB init fails #2

Closed djanderson closed 8 years ago

djanderson commented 8 years ago

When using synthesized or very strong over-the-air input, the method of blindly assuming that frames passed to SSS & MIB blocks were valid was a fair assumption. However, when analyzing a heavily degraded signal, this assumption can lead the flowgraph to error out:

Expected subframe index 0, but got 5
Expected subframe index 0, but got 5
Error initiating PBCH
thread[thread-per-block[14]: <block mib (8)>]: Error initializing MIB
Expected subframe index 0, but got 5
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>> Done

We should be more tolerant of unexpected bad input by simply returning if MIB init fails, instead of throwing an error.

This can still happen but seems to be mitigated by never using a psr_threshold below 1.5. All example applications use this convention but I should probably make it a hard-coded lower limit.
