Adaptive Filtering with GNURADIO & USRP : Part-1

I have started working on a project which aims to cancel the echo generated at the WCDMA on-frequency repeater stations.

The project is supported by a telecom giant(cant mention the name here)

The project will mostly consist of adaptive filtering methods. I am trying to do something using GNURADIO and  USRP.

Aim of this project is to minimize the reverse coupling between the transmit and receive antennas of the on-frequency repeater. Mostly we will go with sub-band adaptive filtering techniques.

Details of the echo (which also sometimes called reverse coupling) problem in WCDMA repeaters can be found in there papers :
