Channel Encoding and Decoding Simulation Program

This educational channel encoding and decoding simulation program implemented in MATLAB serves as a practical tool for conducting various experiments and teaching activities. The program includes implementations of fundamental encoding algorithms such as convolutional codes, Reed-Solomon codes, or Turbo codes, along with their corresponding decoding routines using techniques like Viterbi algorithm or belief propagation. Students can utilize this simulation environment to perform multiple experiments, observe the performance characteristics of different encoding and decoding schemes under varying channel conditions, and conduct comparative evaluations. The code structure typically includes modular components for signal generation, encoding process, channel modeling with noise addition, decoding implementation, and performance metric calculation. This comprehensive approach helps students gain deeper insights into the principles and practical applications of channel encoding and decoding techniques while developing hands-on experience with digital communication system implementation.
