（22）以RS码为例说明信道编码AWGN信道的Eb/N0设置

---

前言

本文说明了如何为采用信道编码的通信链路设置Eb/N0（比特能量与噪声功率谱密度比）。

一、编码Eb/N0与未编码Eb/N0及编码码率

在通信系统仿真中，如果采用了FEC编码，则在设置AWGN信道Eb/N0时，需要考虑FEC编码码率R=K/N的影响。其中K为码字中信息码元的个数；N为码字的编码码元个数，也即信息码元数加校验码元数。

当通信链路中采用了信道编码， 编码的Eb/N0设置方法为：

CodedEbNo = UncodedEbNo + 10*log10(codeRate)

下面给出MATLAB仿真代码。

二、仿真代码

下面的MATLAB代码建立了一个“（15，9）RS码+8PSK”编码调制通信系统，显示了如何为采用信道编码的通信链路设置Eb/N0。

仿真中，通过设置不同的Eb/N0，绘制了系统的性能曲线。

N = 15;          % R-S codeword length in symbols
K = 9;           % R-S message length in symbols
num = 1e3;       % R-S codeword number in symbols
M = 8;           % Modulation order

% Construct a (15,9) Reed-Solomon encoder and a 8-PSK modulator.
rsEncoder = comm.RSEncoder('CodewordLength',N,'MessageLength',K,'BitInput',true);
pskModulator = comm.PSKModulator('ModulationOrder',M,'BitInput',true);

% Create the corresponding Reed-Solomon decoder and 8-PSK demodulator objects.
rsDecoder = comm.RSDecoder('CodewordLength',N,'MessageLength',K,'BitInput',true);
pskDemodulator = comm.PSKDemodulator('ModulationOrder',M,'BitOutput',true);

% Calculate the Reed-Solomon code rate based on the ratio of message symbols to the codeword length.
codeRate = K/N;
bitsPerSymbol = log2(M);

% Specify the uncoded Eb/No in dB. Convert the uncoded Eb/No to the corresponding coded Eb/No using the code rate.
UncodedEbNo = 0:2:16;
CodedEbNo = UncodedEbNo + 10*log10(codeRate);

% Construct an AWGN channel taking into account the number of bits per symbol. Set the EbNo property of channel to the coded Eb/No.
channel = comm.AWGNChannel('BitsPerSymbol',bitsPerSymbol);
% channel.EbNo = CodedEbNo;

% Set the total number of errors and bits for the simulation.
% For accuracy, the simulation should run until a sufficient number of bit errors are encountered.
% The number of total bits is used to ensure that the simulation does not run too long.
totalErrors = 100;
totalBits = 1e6;

% Construct an error rate calculator System object and initialize the error rate vector.
errorRate = comm.ErrorRate;
ber = zeros(length(UncodedEbNo),1);

for R = 1:length(UncodedEbNo)
    reset(errorRate);
    errorVec = zeros(3,1);

    channel.EbNo = CodedEbNo(R);

    % Run the simulation to determine the BER. 
    while errorVec(2) < totalErrors && errorVec(3) < totalBits
        % Generate random bits
        dataIn = randi([0,1],num*K,1);
        % Use the RS (15,9) encoder to add error correction capability
        dataEnc = rsEncoder(dataIn);
        % Apply 8-PSK modulation
        txSig = pskModulator(dataIn);
        % Pass the modulated data through the AWGN channel
        rxSig = channel(txSig);
        % Demodulate the received signal
        demodData = pskDemodulator(rxSig);
        % Decode the demodulated data with the RS (15,9) decoder
        dataOut = rsDecoder(demodData);
        % Collect error statistics
        errorVec = errorRate(dataIn,demodData);
    end

    % Display the resultant bit error rate.
    ber(R) = errorVec(1);
end
