    Syntax

    [bits,framePDUErr] = dvbrcs2BitRecover(rxdata,cfgrx,nvar)

    Description

    [bits,framePDUErr] = dvbrcs2BitRecover(rxdata,cfgrx,nvar) recovers frame protocol data unit (PDU), bits, and the frame PDU cyclic redundancy check (CRC) status, framePDUErr. Input rxdata is the received complex in-phase quadrature (IQ) symbols in the form of bursts of a Digital Video Broadcasting Second Generation Return Channel over Satellite (DVB-RCS2) transmission. cfgrx is the recovery configuration object, dvbrcs2RecoveryConfig. nvar is the noise variance estimate that the function uses to calculate soft bits.

    The function supports demodulation and decoding of the turbo codes with linear modulation (TC-LM), and spread spectrum and turbo codes with linear modulation (SS-TC-LM) transmission formats, with all three PDU types (logon, control, and traffic), for reference and custom waveforms.

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Received complex IQ symbols, specified as a column vector. rxdata must contain only one burst.

    The type of waveform determines the length of rxdata.

    • Reference waveform — For set values of the TransmissionFormat and WaveformID properties of the dvbrcs2WaveformGenerator System object™, the length of input rxdata must be equal to the burst length parameter specified in ETSI EN 301 545-2 V1.2.1 (2014-11) Table A-1 and A-2 [1].

    • Custom waveform — The length must be equal to the value of BurstLength property of the dvbrcs2RecoveryConfig object.

    Data Types: double
    Complex Number Support: Yes

    DVB-RCS2 recovery configuration object, specified as a dvbrcs2RecoveryConfig object. The properties of this object specify the transmission parameters of the received waveform and the decoding parameters for the recovery of the data.

    Noise variance estimate, specified as a nonnegative scalar. The function uses nvar as a scaling factor to calculate the soft bits from the IQ symbols.

    When you specify nvar as 0, the function uses a value of 1e-5, which corresponds to a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 50 dB.

    Data Types: double

    Output Arguments

    collapse all

    Recovered frame PDU data bits, returned as a column vector.

    Data Types: int8

    Frame PDU CRC status, returned as a numeric or logical 1 (true) or 0 (false). A value of true indicates the frame is erroneous.

    Data Types: logical
