OFDM Signal generation and decoding using 16-QAM .64QAM as the modulation technique. This type of OFDM is particularly useful for WiMAX and other Wireless and Multimedia Standards. Just run the Model and with different SNRs in the AWGN Channel Block observe the performance of the OFDM.
Computes BER v EbNo curve for convolutional encoding / soft decision
Viterbi decoding scheme assuming BPSK.
Brute force Monte Carlo approach is unsatisfactory (takes too long)
to find the BER curve.
The computation uses a quasi-analytic (QA) technique that relies on the
estimation (approximate one) of the information-bits Weight Enumerating
Function (WEF) using
A simulation of the convolutional encoder. Once the WEF is estimated, the analytic formula for the BER is used.
