Download Required: To use bleWaveformGenerator, first download Communications Toolbox™ Library for the Bluetooth® Protocol. For more information, see Get and Manage Add-Ons. Alternatively, see Communications Toolbox Library for the Bluetooth Protocol File Exchange.

Syntax

waveform = bleWaveformGenerator(message)
waveform = bleWaveformGenerator(message,Name,Value)

Description

example

waveform = bleWaveformGenerator(message) generates waveform, a time-domain Bluetooth low energy (BLE) physical layer (PHY) waveform by using the input information bits message.

example

waveform = bleWaveformGenerator(message,Name,Value) also specifies options using one or more name-value pair arguments. For example, 'Mode','LE2M' specifies the generating mode value of the desired BLE waveform.

This example uses:

Open Live Script

Create an input message column vector of length 2056 containing random binary values. Set the symbol rate to default value.

message = randi([0 1],2056,1);
symbolRate = 1e6;

Generate the BLE waveform.

waveform = bleWaveformGenerator(message);

Create a dsp.SpectrumAnalyzer System object to display the frequency spectrum of the generated BLE waveform. Set the sample rate of the frequency spectrum.

scope = dsp.SpectrumAnalyzer;
scope.SampleRate = 8*symbolRate;

Plot the BLE waveform.

scope(waveform);

This example uses:

Open Live Script

Create an input message column vector of length 640 containing random binary values.

message = randi([0 1],640,1);

Specify the values of generating mode, channel index, samples per symbol and access address. Set symbol rate to default value.

phyMode = 'LE125K';
chanIdx = 2;
sps = 4;
accAdd = [1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 ...
    0 1 0 1 1 0 0].';
symbolRate = 1e6;

Create a dsp.SpectrumAnalyzer System object to display the frequency spectrum of the generated BLE waveform. Set the sample rate of the frequency spectrum.

scope = dsp.SpectrumAnalyzer;
scope.SampleRate = sps*symbolRate;

Generate the BLE waveform using specified name-value pair arguments. Plot the BLE waveform.

waveform = bleWaveformGenerator(message,'Mode',phyMode, ...
    'SamplesPerSymbol',sps,'ChannelIndex',chanIdx,'AccessAddress',accAdd);
scope(waveform);

This example uses:

Open Live Script

Specify a connection data channel protocol data unit (PDU) for angle of departure (AoD) constant tone extension (CTE). 

pduHex = '1B820127'; % Valid PDU in hexadecimal
pdu = de2bi(hex2dec(pduHex), 32)';

Generate and append cyclic redundancy check (CRC) to the PDU.

crcGen = comm.CRCGenerator('z^24+z^10+z^9+z^6+z^4+z^3+z+1',...
    'InitialConditions',de2bi(hex2dec('555551'),'left-msb',24),...
    'DirectMethod',true);
pduCRC = crcGen(pdu);

Generate the BLE waveform using specified name-value pair arguments.

waveform = bleWaveformGenerator(pduCRC,'ChannelIndex',36,...
    'DFPacketType','ConnectionCTE')
waveform = 896×1 complex

Input Arguments

collapse all

Input message bits, specified as a binary-valued column vector of numerical or logical values. This message contains the protocol data unit (PDU) and cyclic redundancy check (CRC) data. The maximum length of this value is 2080 bits.

Data Types: double | logical

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: bleWaveformGenerator(message,'Mode','LE2M','ChannelIndex',36)

Note

For information about connection CTE and connectionless CTE direction finding packet generation, see Bluetooth Packet Structure.

Generating mode, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'Mode' and 'LE1M', 'LE2M', 'LE500K', or 'LE125K'. This value indicates the type of BLE waveform.

Data Types: string | char

Channel index, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'ChannelIndex'and an integer in the range [0, 39]. For data channels, this value must be in the range [0, 36]. This value is used by the data-whitening block to randomize the bits.

Data Types: single | double

Samples per symbol, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'SamplesPerSymbol' and a positive integer. This value is used for the Gaussian frequency-shift keying (GFSK) modulation.

Data Types: single | double

Access address, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'AccessAddress' and a 32-bit column vector of numerical or logical values.

Data Types: logical | single | double

Type of direction finding packet, specified as the comma-separated pair consisting of 'DFPacketType' and 'ConnectionlessCTE', 'ConnectionCTE', or 'Disabled'.

Data Types: string | char

Output Arguments

collapse all

Output time-domain waveform, returned as a complex-valued column vector of size Ns-by-1, where Ns represents the number of time-domain samples. The waveform is generated in the form of complex in-phase quadrature (IQ) samples.

Data Types: double
