    • Second edition listed here is the latest. It is primarily intended for simulating fundamental blocks in digital communication systems. Filter design is very specific to signal processing and it is NOT covered in this ebook.

  11. Hello

    How could I detect the PNC mapping of the constellations for 16-QAM? My input constellations are

    M=4;

    s1=[1+1j,-1+1j,1-1j,-1-1j];

    s2=[0.4+0.4j,-0.4+0.4j,0.4-0.4j,-0.4-0.4j];

    a= randi([0 M-1],1,N);

    b= randi([0 M-1],1,N);

    z=s1(a+1)+s2(b+1);

    as you know in 4QPSK the PNC mapping for the constellations are

    1- The points 2+2j,-2+2j,2-2j,-2-2j represents 1+1j

    2- The points 2,-2 represents 1-1J

    3- The points 2j,-2j represents -1+1j

    4- the point 0 represents the point -1-1j

    So how can I know the order for z ?

    Thanks in advance

  12. My question is related to the way a gaussian signal is generated in MATLAB. For example, I have a signal defined in MATLAB as

    signal = randn(1,1e6);

    How is this signal represented mathematically i.e in the form of an equation?

      • Hi

        I am grateful for helping me, I want to rewrite the previous question, how can I merge the two matrices where x(1) is a MSB(most significant bit) for the first bits and y(1) is a LSB for the first bits and x(2) =MSB(2), y(2)=LSB(2) and so on, to get a new matrix z.

      x=[2+5j , -4-3j, 4+2j, 3-3j];

      y=[1+2j, -3-2j, 1-3j, 5+2j];
      k=[x;y]; %vertical concatenation – the row vector y will be placed below the row vector x
      z=k(:).’ %flatten the matrix and transpose it
      output: z=> [2+5j 1+2j -4-3j -3-3j 4+2j 1-3j 3-3j 5+2j]

  19. Hello sir

    Would you please tell me how can I put two bits beside two bits from two separate matrices to generate a new matrix, but the original matrices with a complex number? because I used bitconcat and it dosen’t work becaused this instruction for real numbers!
    Many thanks

    for example;

    x=[2+5j , -4-3j, 4+2j, 3-3j]

    y=[1+2j, -3-2j, 1-3j, 5+2j]

  25. Hello Mathuranathan,
    Thanks a lot for your reply
    Can you please told me how can I take one bit and left the next one from a matrix or array? For example my matrix is: x=[1001,1011,0011,0001] and I want to split them like this: 1-0- , 1-1-, 0-1-, 0-0-
    In fact, I need to rearrange(decrease) these bits from four bits to two bits but in the receiver I need to put zeros between these bits and comparison between the transmitted and the received bits!!!
    Thanks

    • You could do it via indexing.

      Consider a simple vector x= [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20] . In other words, x(11) = 11 ,x(2)=12, x(3)=13 and so on

      If I am interested in elements 15 16 17 which are placed at indices [5,6,7], the code would be

      >> x(5 6 7)
      ans = 15 16 17

      If I am interested in alternate elements

      >> x(1 3 5 7 9)
      ans = 11 13 15 17 19

      Alternate way (more elegant)

      >> x(1:2:end) %start from index 1, increment in steps by 2, reach till the last index)
      ans = 11 13 15 17 19

      To fetch alternate elements in reverse (decreasing) order

      >>x(end:-2:1)

  26. Hi,
    I have read through the book and wondered how could I plot the channel throughput with the respect to the Shannon capacity in chapter 1.5? The code is not provided in the book. Looks like the formula for calculating the channel throughput is not declared neither.

    Reply
    • “Throughput” – The rate of successful message delivery (no errors) across a communication channel. It is measured in bits/second. The channel capacity is the MAXIMUM data rate for noiseless communication.

      The maximum data rate achievable on an AWGN channel (unconstrained capacity) is given in the chapter as C=B log2(1+S/N) (on page 20). The simulation for channel capacity and power efficiency limit is given in page 22,23

      For more discussions and derivations please refer appendix A1,A2 and A3 at the end of the ebook.

      Let me know if this is what you are looking for.

      • Hi,
        Thank you for the prompt reply.
        Actually I was asking for how to plot the graph on page 30. And I thought the dots inside the Shannon limit were the corresponding channel throughput. Correct me if I am wrong. If possible, can I hav the code plz?

  27. Hi

    Thanks a lot for your reply.

    Even while using power as as mentioned in the reply, if my understanding is right, for m= 2 ,

    2   ( m-1)  in the above example is  again  2   (  2  1    )

    Therefore only 2 states are there.   I am not sure, if I am going wrong somewhere. Please check

    Thanks a lot for your time.

    • Hi,
      There exist two versions of formulas to calculate the constraint length (L)
      1) L=k(m+1)
      2) L=km

      The number of memory elements has to be interpreted accordingly.

      For a (n=2,k=1,L=3) convolutional code the constraint length L=3.

      If we use formula 1, then 3=1*(m+1) => m=2. This gives us two memory elements, which is straight forward. Then the number of states will be 2^m = 2^2=4 states.

      If we use formula 2, then 3=1*m => m=3. Then you have to use the formula 2^(m-1) to calculate the number of states. Which gives 2^(3-1)=2^2=4 states again.

      So, care must be taken to interpret the constrain length definition properly. I will elaborate more on this.

  28. 1. In general, for most of the topics , matlab codes are given. So, it is possible to practically simulate and understand the concepts. This is a good feature.

    2. If possible references may be added to get a better understand of some of the topics.

    3. Some areas, explanantion can be more clear. For example , I went through the convolution encoder. It is not clear how the generator polynomials are used.

    4. According to the formula given, the number of states in the state diagram is 2(m-1), where m is the number of memory element.
    For a (2,1,3) encoder, the number of memeory elements m is calculated as follows:
    L = k(m+1) -> 3 = 1(m+1) -> m=2
    Therefore, the number of states = 2(m-1) -> 2(2-1) = 2.
    But in the book, it is mentioned as 4 states. I am not sure if I am making any mistake. Please check.

    Reply
    • Hi Kalpa,
      Thanks for your inputs. I will improve the ebook and provide more clarity on the topics.

      Regarding the states, the equation is 2^{(m-1)} and not 2(m-1). That was a typo in printing. I will take care of that in the next edition. So that leaves us with 4 states.

  29. I bought this book from iTune one week ago.  This book introduces simulation of communication systems from the beginning. It deeply attracts me. It includes digital communication, channel coding, inter-symbol interference, fading, digital modulations, OFDM and so on. This book covers all the basics of simulation of communication systems. I am hoping that authors can add some new technologies into it.
