    Syntax

    [BITS,NUMFRAMESLOST] = dvbs2BitRecover(RXFRAME,NVAR)
    [BITS,NUMFRAMESLOST,PKTCRCSTATUS] = dvbs2BitRecover(RXFRAME,NVAR)
    [BITS,NUMFRAMESLOST] = dvbs2BitRecover(RXFRAME,NVAR,EARLYTERM)

    Description

    [BITS,NUMFRAMESLOST] = dvbs2BitRecover(RXFRAME,NVAR) recovers user packets (UPs) or a continuous data stream, BITS, and the number of lost baseband frames, NUMFRAMESLOST. Input RXFRAME is the received complex in-phase quadrature (IQ) symbols in the form of physical layer (PL) frames of a Digital Video Broadcasting Satellite Second Generation (DVB-S2) transmission. Input NVAR is the noise variance estimate, used to calculate soft bits.

    example

    [BITS,NUMFRAMESLOST,PKTCRCSTATUS] = dvbs2BitRecover(RXFRAME,NVAR) also returns the UP cyclic redundancy check (CRC) status.

    example

    [BITS,NUMFRAMESLOST] = dvbs2BitRecover(RXFRAME,NVAR,EARLYTERM) uses low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoding termination criterion, EARLYTERM, to recover data bits, BITS.

    Input Arguments

    collapse all

    Received IQ symbols from PL frames of a DVB-S2 single-input or multi-input transmission, specified as a column vector. RXFRAME can contain one or multiple PL frames.

    The length of RXFRAME depends on the value of the properties FECFrame, MODCOD, and HasPilots of the dvbs2WaveformGenerator System object™.

    Data Types: double
    Complex Number Support: Yes

    Noise variance estimate that the function adds to the input IQ symbols, specified as a nonnegative scalar. NVAR is used 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

    Flag for early termination of the LDPC decoder when all parity-checks are satisfied, specified as a numeric or logical value of 1 (true) or 0 (false). When set to 1 (true), the LDPC decoder is terminated when all parity checks are satisfied.

    When you set this value to 0 (false), the maximum decoding iteration limit is 50.

    Data Types: logical

    Output Arguments

    collapse all

    Recovered data bits, returned as a cell array of column vectors. Each element of the cell array is of data type int8. This output can be either UPs or generic data stream, depending of the StreamFormat property of the dvbs2WaveformGenerator System object.

    For a multi-input stream transmission, each element of the cell array corresponds to an individual input stream.

    Data Types: cell

    Number of lost baseband frames, returned as a nonnegative integer. If the baseband header CRC fails, the frame is considered lost.

    Data Types: double

    UP CRC status, returned as a cell array of column vectors. Each element of the cell array is of data type logical. For a multi-input stream transmission, each element of the cell array corresponds to an individual input stream.

    Dependencies

    PKTCRCSTATUS applies for only the input streams where the value of the UPL property of dvbs2WaveformGenerator System object is nonzero.

    Data Types: cell
