5G Channel Coding Tool: Learning and Performance Evaluation

Abstract

The 5G channel coding tool is presented to explain channel coding in 5G New Radio (NR). Our tool consists of six modules such as information generator, channel encoder, modulator, noise generator, demodulator, and channel decoder. The channel encoder and modulator are developed according to 3GPP TS 38.212 and 3GPP TS 38.211 technical specifications, respectively. The 5G channel coding tool provides a graphical user interface (GUI) in which users can study the block diagrams of downlink and uplink process. In addition, our 5G channel coding tool can be used to evaluate the bit error rate performance of 5G channel coding in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and fading channels.
