Viterbi algorithm

Matlab Exercise II

 

                Choose a simple binary convolutional code transmitted over a AWGN channel. Implement the Viterbi algorithm for hard decision decoding, and soft decision decoding. Plot the bit error rate versus SNR using Monte Carlo simulation for both hard and soft decision decoding. Compare these bit error rates with the bounds given in the book. Also, compare the performance difference between hard and soft decision decoding with what we learned in class (equations

The project is to be done individually. The results you get from your simulations will be summarized in a report which should be less than or equal to 10 pages total. You should also provide the code for the program (which can be in addition to the 10 pages). Structure the report as a fully typed technical document.
