Simulation and Analysis of Wireless Communication Systems using MATLAB

Abstract

Wireless communication systems have become an integral part of our daily lives, providing a convenient and efficient way to transmit and receive information. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study of wireless communication systems using MATLAB, a powerful and widely used tool for simulation and analysis. We begin by providing an overview of the different types of wireless communication systems and the challenges they face. The environment allows simulating the baseband processing of systems involving physical layers access techniques such as CDMA, and OFDMA and transmits diversity techniques such as OSTBC and V-BLAST. It is possible to include different modulation techniques, channel coding, multi-channelization, and multiple access techniques. Via the program’s user interface, the system performance can be graphically observed through the bit error rate (BER) versus bit energy per noise density (Eb/No) curve. As a means of validation of the tool, the simulations were compared with results published in the literature for SC-CDMA, spatial multiplexing systems, and OFDM systems, finding good correspondence.
