| Communications Toolbox | |
While the biterr function discussed above can help you gather empirical error statistics, you might also want to compare those results with theoretical error statistics. Certain types of communication systems are associated with closed-form expressions for the bit error rate or a bound on it. The functions listed in the table below compute the closed-form expressions for some types of communication systems, where such expressions exist.
| Type of Communication System | Function |
|---|---|
| Uncoded AWGN channel | berawgn |
| Coded AWGN channel | bercoding |
| Uncoded Rayleigh fading channel | berfading |
| Uncoded AWGN channel with imperfect synchronization | bersync |
Each function's reference page lists one or more books containing the closed-form expressions that the function implements.
