## Reviews from Online Stores

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.

2. 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.

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

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

3. Hi

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)
$latex 1) L=k(m+1)$
$latex 2) L=km$

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.

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.

• “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.

• jialu

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?

• Following equation will come handy to solve for R/B for the given Eb/N0. Substitute the following equation for 2^(neta) in your equation above.

Hi
Can you please told me how can I write the code for hierarchical modulation?
Thanks

7. Othman

Hello Mathuranathan,
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)

Many Thanks, you are helping me a lot. Can I ask you one more question please ? As you know after modulation the 16-QAM the output is 9 constellation points, so is there any way to get 9 points in every quarter(in Gray mapping) something like this way below
Best Regards

Hey! Your book was very valuable.! As a matter of fact ,do you have a matlab code to generate autocorrelation function of the rician fading channel using clarke’s model (Chapter 5.8)
Regards

• Dear karthik
Thanks for purchasing the eBook. Only Rayleigh fading using Clark’s model is given. I do not have the code for rician fading with clarks model. However, I am intending to write about it in the next edition of the eBook.

Hey! Your book was very useful and helpful, but I want to know about PNC(Physical layer Network Coding) why you don’t included in your book? can you help me to know the code for 16-QAM in PNC please?
Regards

12. thanks a lot,you are very kind
you are symbol of humanity.i believe there are humanity.
i thank you from us Iranians.
i searched this book more 6 month,but i can’t found free version.

13. 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
Othman

for example;

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

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

• Here you go,
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]

14. actually, I have two mapping signals and I want to make it as 16-QAM mapping signals, but these two mapping signals in a complex numbers

• 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.
