5G-NR-Modulation-Demodulation

The implementation of 5G NR Modulation and Demodulation

Modulation

symbOut = nrModuMapper(bitsIn,moduType) maps the bit sequence into complex modulation symbols using modulation scheme specified in TS 38.211 Section 5.1 The modulation scheme, moduType must be one of 'BPSK', 'QPSK', '16QAM', '64QAM', '256QAM'.

Demodulation

softBits = nrSoftModuDemapper(symbsIn,moduType,N0,method) demodulates the complex symbols symbsIn using soft decision. The modulation scheme, moduType must be one of 'BPSK', 'QPSK', '16QAM', '64QAM', '256QAM'. symbsIn must be a column vector. 'mothod' - Specified as 'max-log-map' or 'approx'.

Demodulation is performed according to the constellations given in TS 38.211 section 5.1 including the power normalization factors specified. The factors: 1/sqrt(2) for BPSK, and QPSK, 1/sqrt(10) for 16QAM, 1/sqrt(42) for 64QAM and 1/sqrt(170) for 256QAM.

 Example:
 %Demonstrate 16-QAM  demodulation.
 msg = randi([0 1],100,1,'int8');
 symb = nrModuMapper(msg,'16QAM');
 N0 = 0.1;
 rxsymb = symb + sqrt(N0/2)*randn(size(symb)) ;
 msg_hat = nrSoftModuDemapper(msg_hat,'16QAM',N0,'max-log-map');
 numErr = sum(msg ~=(msg_hat < 0));
