Ex 1:
Consider an OFDM system with total bandwidth B = 5 MHz and 256 subcarriers. The maximum
delay spread of the channel is 4 𝜇𝑠. A cyclic prefix of 30 samples is considered to remove the
effect of ISI. The sampling rate is equal to 𝐵. QPSK is considered as a modulation scheme.
1) Find sub-channel bandwidth.
2) Find the total transmission time associated with each OFDM symbol.
3) A channel coding technique with rate ½ is employed to correct bit errors, find the data
rate of this system if 220 subcarriers out of 256 are used for data transmission.
Ex 2:
An (n,k) systematic block code has the following parity check matrix:
1 0 1 1 1 0 0
𝐻 = [1 1 1 0 0 1 0]
0 1 1 1 0 0 1
1) Find n, k and the code rate.
2) Find the Generator matrix of this coding scheme.
3) Find the minimum Hamming distance. What are the error detection and correction
capabilities of this coding scheme?
4) What is the codeword corresponding to the message [ 0 1 0 1].
5) Write down the syndrome table for a single bit error.
6) Compute the syndrome for the received codeword [1 1 0 1 1 1 0]. Does this
codeword contain an error?
Ex: 3
A convolutional encoder with code rate of ½ and constraint length 𝐾 = 3 has the following
generator polynomials: 𝑔1 (𝐷) = 1 + 𝐷 2 (generator polynomial coefficients 𝒈1 = [1 , 0 ,1]) and
𝑔2 (𝐷) = 𝐷 + 𝐷 2 (𝒈2 = [0, 1, 1]).
1) Sketch the shift register implementation of the encoder.
2) Sketch the state diagram of the encoder.
3) What is the output sequence corresponding to the input sequence [1 1 0 1 0 0].
4) Draw the trellis diagram and find the free distance of this encoder.
5) The following sequence is received [10 01 01 10 01 11], use the Viterbi decoding, to
obtain the most likely transmitted bit sequence.
