05 Oct 2009 Alamouti STBC Discuss 2Tx. 1Rx transmit diversity scheme called Alamouti Space Time Block Coding (STBC) Author: Krishna Sankar M Shanar

Hi Mate
This is really good work just I have simple question in my mind, can i emplement your code to work on IEEE802.16 transmitter receiver?
Thanks in advance

@Yi Xiao: The channel power is indeed the scaling factor, no?

Thank u, it helps a lot. By the way, could u please recommend me some paper or articles that talk about the scaling factor problem for Alamouti's code in higher order modulation?

I am studing on Alamouti's paper and I can get the same simulation result when using BPSK but not for QPSK, ur code inspires me alot and I want to learn more about scaling factor u mentioned.

Thanks again.

@Yi Xiao: Well, for BPSK constellation, you are right - one need not divide by the channel power. However, for higher order modulations one needs to take care of the scaling factor such that the constellation boundaries can be defined correctly. Hence provided the equation for the general case. Hope this helps.

Very good! Clear codes and explanation.

Only one question, why we need these lines:
    yHat = sum(hEq.*yMod,1)./hEqPower;
    yHat(2:2:end) = conj(yHat(2:2:end));

I mean, if the decision rule is: ipHat = real(yHat)>0;
Then
yHat = sum(hEq.*yMod,1)
will be enough for everything.
Why do we need to divide it by the power of the channel and do the conjugate for
h2*y1 -h1y2* ?
I am a little bit confused here.

23 Aug 2008 16QAM BER with Gray Mapping Derive the theoretical 16QAM bit error rate (BER) with Gray coded constellation mapping in AWGN Author: Krishna Sankar M Pillai, Krishna

@Paul: Thanks for the comment. Sure, I can add link to your code (with credits) in www.dsplog.com.

However, I would like to understand the equation prior. For a general M-QAM (M-even), the symbol error rate has an erfc() term and erfc^2() term.
uri: http://www.dsplog.com/2008/05/24/article-in-dspdesignlinecom-m-qam-symbol-error/
And for ber, I just took the first term. Given the above understanding, I was unable to understand the equation which you have suggested. How have you converted the erfc^2() term to two erfc() terms? Kindly point me to a reference, if possible.

Thanks in advance.

Warm regards,
Krishna

21 Aug 2008 16QAM BER with Gray Mapping Derive the theoretical 16QAM bit error rate (BER) with Gray coded constellation mapping in AWGN Author: Krishna Sankar M Buné, Paul A.M.

Excellent tutorial. However, please be aware that the theoretical 16QAM BER as used in this program
BER=(3/8)*erfc(sqrt(0.4*Eb_N0))
is just an (albeit good) approximation, as you already indicated in your www.dsplog.com post.

The *exact* Gray-mapped 16QAM BER with AWGN is
BER=(3/8)*erfc(sqrt(0.4*Eb_N0))+(1/4)*erfc(3*sqrt(0.4*Eb_N0))-(1/8)*erfc(5*sqrt(0.4*Eb_N0))
as generated by entry nr. 19717 in the Mathworks File Exchange. The difference between the approximate theoretical BER and the exact BER gets significant for Eb/N0 below 0dB, being 27% at Eb/N0=-10dB and growing to 33% for Eb/N0=0 (or minus infinity in dB). The simulated 16QAM BER can be shown to deviate clearly from the approximate theoretical BER for Eb/N0<0dB, while it closely follows the exact theoretical BER for all values of Eb/N0.

Entry 19717 also produces exact BER values for Gray-mapped QPSK, 256QAM etc. and, further to over-all BER values, it also generates the different BER values for the different bit positions in 16QAM, 256QAM etc.

On the condition that the origin is clearly indicated, please feel free to use my entry nr. 19717 and its results on your site http://www.dsplog.com/.

15 Aug 2008 BER for BPSK in Rayleigh channel Simulates the BER for BPSK modulation in Rayleigh channel Author: Krishna Sankar M Random, R

@Pillai. I have to admit that you're right. What I forgot is the fact that the additive noise is also divided by the channel.

15 Aug 2008 BER for BPSK in Rayleigh channel Simulates the BER for BPSK modulation in Rayleigh channel Author: Krishna Sankar M Pillai, Krishna

@random: May I suggest that your observation is incorrect. Even when we know the channel, and divide the received symbol by the known channel, the resultant noise term is no longer white. Hence it is not comparable to AWGN channel. Further, in the Matlab code the BER obtained from simulations are shown to be matching the theoretically expected results.

Once you divide the received signal by the known channel you have removed the impact of the channel totally. In other words, it is the same as an AWGN channel, and there is no fading in the model.
