Syntax

recData = wlanNonHTDataRecover(rxSig,chEst,noiseVarEst,cfg)
recData = wlanNonHTDataRecover(rxSig,chEst,noiseVarEst,cfg,Name,Value)
[recData,eqSym] = wlanNonHTDataRecover(___)
[recData,eqSym,cpe] = wlanNonHTDataRecover(___)

Description

example

recData = wlanNonHTDataRecover(rxSig,chEst,noiseVarEst,cfg) returns the recovered Non-HT-Data field[1] bits, given received signal rxSig, channel estimate data chEst, noise variance estimate noiseVarEst, and wlanNonHTConfig object cfg.

Note

This function only supports data recovery for OFDM modulation.

example

recData = wlanNonHTDataRecover(rxSig,chEst,noiseVarEst,cfg,Name,Value) specifies the recovery algorithm parameters by using one or more name-value pair arguments.

[recData,eqSym] = wlanNonHTDataRecover(___) returns the equalized symbols, eqSym, using the arguments from the previous syntaxes.

[recData,eqSym,cpe] = wlanNonHTDataRecover(___) also returns the common phase error, cpe.

Open Live Script

Create a non-HT configuration object having a PSDU length of 2048 bytes. Generate the corresponding data sequence.

cfg = wlanNonHTConfig('PSDULength',2048);
txBits = randi([0 1],8*cfg.PSDULength,1);
txSig = wlanNonHTData(txBits,cfg);

Pass the signal through an AWGN channel with a signal-to-noise ratio of 15 dB. 

rxSig = awgn(txSig,15);

Recover the data and determine the number of bit errors. 

rxBits = wlanNonHTDataRecover(rxSig,ones(52,1),0.05,cfg);
[numerr,ber] = biterr(rxBits,txBits)
numerr = 0

ber = 0
Open Live Script

Create a non-HT configuration object, specifying a PSDU length of 1024 bytes. Generate the corresponding non-HT data sequence. 

cfg = wlanNonHTConfig('PSDULength',1024);
txBits = randi([0 1],8*cfg.PSDULength,1);
txSig = wlanNonHTData(txBits,cfg);

Pass the signal through an AWGN channel with a signal-to-noise ratio of 10 dB.

rxSig = awgn(txSig,10);

Recover the data by using a zero-forcing algorithm and determine the number of bit errors. 

chanEst = ones(52,1);
noiseVarEst = 0.1;
rxBits = wlanNonHTDataRecover(rxSig,chanEst,noiseVarEst,cfg,'EqualizationMethod','ZF');
[numerr,ber] = biterr(rxBits,txBits)
numerr = 0

ber = 0
Open Live Script

Configure a non-HT data object.

cfg = wlanNonHTConfig;

Generate and transmit a non-HT PSDU.

txPSDU = randi([0 1],8*cfg.PSDULength,1);
txSig = wlanNonHTData(txPSDU,cfg);

Generate an L-LTF for channel estimation.

txLLTF = wlanLLTF(cfg);

Create an 802.11g channel with a 3 Hz maximum Doppler shift and a 100 ns RMS path delay. Disable the reset before filtering option so that the L-LTF and data fields use the same channel realization.

ch802 = comm.RayleighChannel('SampleRate',20e6,'MaximumDopplerShift',3,'PathDelays',100e-9);

Pass the L-LTF and data signals through an 802.11g channel with AWGN.

rxLLTF = awgn(ch802(txLLTF),10);
rxSig = awgn(ch802(txSig),10);

Demodulate the L-LTF and use it to estimate the fading channel.

dLLTF = wlanLLTFDemodulate(rxLLTF,cfg);
chEst = wlanLLTFChannelEstimate(dLLTF,cfg);

Recover the non-HT data using the L-LTF channel estimate and determine the number of bit errors in the transmitted packet.

rxPSDU = wlanNonHTDataRecover(rxSig,chEst,0.1,cfg);

[numErr,ber] = biterr(txPSDU,rxPSDU)
numErr = 0

ber = 0

Input Arguments

Received non-HT data signal, specified as a matrix of size NS-by-NR. NS is the number of samples and NR is the number of receive antennas. NS can be greater than the length of the data field signal.

Data Types: double
Complex Number Support: Yes

Channel estimate data, specified as an NST-by-1-by-NR array. NST is the number of occupied subcarriers, and NR is the number of receive antennas.

Data Types: double
Complex Number Support: Yes

Estimate of the noise variance, specified as a nonnegative scalar.

Example: 0.7071

Data Types: double

Non-HT format configuration, specified as a wlanNonHTConfig object.

Name-Value Pair Arguments

Specify optional comma-separated pairs of Name,Value arguments. Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name must appear inside quotes. You can specify several name and value pair arguments in any order as Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN.

Example: 'PilotPhaseTracking','None' disables pilot phase tracking.

OFDM symbol sampling offset represented as a fraction of the cyclic prefix (CP) length, specified as a scalar in the interval [0, 1]. The value you specify indicates the start location for OFDM demodulation relative to the beginning of the cyclic prefix. The value 0 represents the start of the cyclic prefix and the value 1 represents the end of the cyclic prefix.

Data Types: double

Equalization method, specified as one of these values:

  • 'MMSE' — The receiver uses a minimum mean squared error equalizer.

  • 'ZF' — The receiver uses a zero-forcing equalizer.

Data Types: char | string

Pilot phase tracking, specified as one of these values:

  • 'PreEQ' — Enable pilot phase tracking, which is performed before any equalization operation.

  • 'None' — Disable pilot phase tracking.

Data Types: char | string

Output Arguments

Non-HT-Data field

The non-high throughput data (non-HT data) field is used to transmit MAC frames and is composed of a service field, a PSDU, tail bits, and pad bits.

  • Service field — Contains 16 zeros to initialize the data scrambler.

  • PSDU — Variable-length field containing the PLCP service data unit (PSDU).

  • Tail — Tail bits required to terminate a convolutional code. The field uses six zeros for the single encoding stream.

  • Pad Bits — Variable-length field required to ensure that the non-HT data field contains an integer number of symbols.
