model architecture

the following figure shows the architecture of an ofdm receiver. the receiver samples the input at 1.92 msps. these samples stream into the rx filter. the output from the rx filter stream into the frequency estimator and the frequency corrector. the frequency estimator and the frequency corrector estimate and correct cfo respectively and the samples stream into the synchronizing sequence (ss) detector. the output of the ss detector is used for the time synchronization. the time synchronized samples stream into the ofdm demodulator, which demodulates the input and generates the frequency-domain subcarriers. the subcarrier parser parses the channel reference subcarriers, header subcarriers, and data subcarriers. the channel reference subcarriers stream into the channel estimator, which estimates the channel frequency response. the channel equalizer uses these estimates to equalize the header and data subcarriers in the frequency domain. the header recovery recovers the header information using the channel-equalized header subcarriers. the cpe estimator estimates the common phase error (cpe) in the data sub carriers that get corrected by cpe corrector. the data recovery uses the header information and the cpe-corrected data subcarriers to decode the data bits.

structure of the receiver

the ofdm receiver subsystem performs a set of operations in a sequence. this subsystem uses the whdlofdmrx.slx reference model. this reference model is initialized in its model workspace and in the model initfcn callback using the whdlexamples.ofdmrxparameters function. the following figure shows the top-level subsystems in the reference model.

synchronization and ofdm demodulation

the synchronization and ofdm demodulation subsystem performs frequency and time synchronization and ofdm demodulation.

the frequency and time synchronization subsystem comprises timing adjust subsystem and cfo estimation and correction and ss detection subsystem.

the cfo estimation and correction and ss detection subsystem comprises cfo estimation and ss detection subsystem and frequency correction nx subsystem, which perform frequency correction for the input signal. the estimate from the cfo estimation and ss detection subsystem is used for frequency correction if the frequencyoffsetcorrectiontype signal on the top-level model interface is set to use internally estimated frequency offset. the externalfrequencyoffset is used for frequency correction if the frequencyoffsetcorrectiontype signal is set to use externally provided frequency offset.

the cfo estimation and ss detection subsystem comprises cfo estimation subsystem, start controller subsystem, sync signal search subsystem, and frequency correction 1x subsystem that perform frequency correction on input signal.

the cfo estimation subsystem uses the cyclic prefix correlation technique to estimate the cfo of the input signal. the cyclicprefixcorrelator subsystem estimates one cfo value for every six ofdm symbols by averaging all the estimates in six ofdm symbols. the angleatmaximum subsystem selects the strongest correlation peak for every six ofdm symbols and records its phase angle. the anglefilter subsystem implements an averaging filter to average all the recorded phase angles for a duration of 12 ms. the resulting phase angle serves as a final cfo estimate.

the sync signal search subsystem implements the ss correlation. ss detection is performed by continuously cross-correlating the received signal with the ss signal in the time domain. in addition, the energy of the signal in the span of the correlator is computed on each time step and then scaled to generate a threshold. the max peak searcher subsystem begins searching for the maximum correlation peak after 12 ms and searches for every 3 ms time window. the subsystem records the timing offset of the synchronization. the start controller function block indicates to the max peak searcher subsystem the end of the 12 ms duration.

the timing offset recorded at the maximum correlation value by the max peak searcher is transferred to the timing adjust subsystem to synchronize timing.

the block demodulates the synchronized samples and generates subcarriers.

channel and cpe estimation and correction

the channel and cpe estimation and correction subsystem estimates the channel frequency response, equalizes the channel, performs cpe estimation, and corrects the cpe.

the reference signal parsing matlab function block separates the ofdm symbols reserved for computing channel estimates.

the ofdm symbols reserved for computing channel estimates are streamed through channel estimation subsystem. the block averages the estimates from the two symbols and outputs the final channel estimates. the estimates are streamed into the channel equalization subsystem that stores the estimates in a ram and performs frequency-domain channel equalization using the block for all the remaining ofdm symbols in the frame.

the header and data parsing matlab function block separates the ofdm symbols corresponding to header and data symbols.

the frequency domain channel-equalized data subcarriers stream through the common phase error estimation and correction subsystem. in the frequency estimation process, there is always a small estimation error due to the channel impairments. this estimation error results in a residual frequency offset in the channel-equalized subcarriers. this results a cpe in all the subcarriers in an ofdm symbol and changes from symbol to symbol. the cpe estimation subsystem estimates the cpe on each ofdm symbol using the 12 pilot subcarriers. the pilots are the known subcarriers and any phase rotation in the received symbols is estimated by using the pilots. the estimates drawn from the same symbol are averaged to get the final estimate. the symbol is stored in the symbol buffer matlab function block during estimation. once the estimate is ready, the symbol is read from this buffer block and the cpe correction subsystem corrects the cpe in the data subcarriers with that estimate.

header and data recovery

the header and data recovery subsystem recovers header information and data bits.

the header recovery subsystem recovers the header information to decode data bits. the frequency domain channel-equalized header subcarriers stream into the header recovery subsystem. the block performs bpsk soft symbol demodulation. the channel coding subsystem is equipped with a deinterleaver subsystem and block. the deinterleaver subsystem performs deinterleaving with a maximum block size of 72 and the number of columns as 18. the viterbi decoder block performs 1/2 rate viterbi decoding. for more information about the deinterleaver subsystem, see the example. the block uses a 16-bit crc checksum to validate the decoded bits from the viterbi decoder block. if the crc checksum fails, the general crc syndrome detector hdl optimized block generates an error signal.

the data recovery subsystem uses header information to decode data bits. the header information is stored in the registers. these registers are used to access the header information. the block performs soft bit bpsk, qpsk, 16-qam, or 64-qam symbol demodulation associated with the modulation type retrieved from the header information. the channel coding subsystem is equipped with the deinterleaver, , and blocks. each code rate is assigned a predefined punctured vector pattern. based on the code rate retrieved from the header information, the channel coding subsystem performs deinterleaving and depuncturing followed by viterbi decoding. for more information on the deinterleaver block, see the example. the decoded bits are streamed through the descrambler subsystem. the block uses a 32-bit crc checksum to validate the descrambled bits. if the crc checksum fails, the general crc syndrome detector hdl optimized block generates an error signal.

diagnostic bus formation

the diagnostic bus formation subsystem creates a bus signal for some status signals of the receiver. this bus can be used to analyze the receiver when deployed onto the hardware.

the data bits are decoded in the data recovery subsystem. the decoded bits stream out of the receiver and stored to workspace in the capture data bits subsystem in the top-level receiver model. the diagnostics decoder subsystem decodes the source-coded header information and counts the number of synchronized frames, number of header crc passes and failures, and the number of data crc passes and failures in the bus signal formed in the diagnostic bus formation subsystem. the simulink display blocks display the diagnostics decoder information.

run the receiver

connect the receiver back-to-back with the transmitter in the hdl ofdm transmitter example and run the simulink model. for more information on how to connect the transmitter and the receiver simulink models back-to-back see the example.

the following files describe a procedure to initialize, generate inputs, run, and verify the whdlofdmreceiver.slx model using the whdlexamples.ofdmreceiverinit.m initialization script. you can choose a custom transmitter waveform and a channel impairment of your choice from the custom frame configuration section in these files.
