Let us derive the theoretical 16QAM bit error rate (BER) with Gray coded constellation mapping in additive white Gaussian noise conditions. Further, the Matlab/Octave simulation script can be used to confirm that the simulation is in good agreement

with theory. Gray coded bit mapping in 16-QAM modulation As we discussed in the previous 16 qam matlab code post on Binary to Gray code for 16QAM, the 4 bits in each constellation point can be considered as two bits each on 16 qam ber matlab independent 4-PAM modulation on I-axis and Q-axis respectively. b0b1 I b2b3 Q 00 -3 00 -3 01 -1 01 -1 11 +1 11 +1 10 +3 10 +3 Table: Gray coded constellation mapping for 16-QAM Figure: 16QAM constellation plot
16 Qam Symbol Error Rate
with Gray coded mapping Symbol Error and Bit Error probability As can be seen from the above constellation diagram, with Gray coded bit mapping, adjacent constellation symbols differ by only one bit. So, if the noise causes the constellation to cross the decision threshold, only 1 out of bits will be in error. So the relation between bit error and symbol error is, . Note: For very low value of , it may so happen that the noise

causes the constellation to fall near a diagonally located constellation point. In that case, the each symbol error will cause two bit errors. Hence the need for approximate operator in the above equation. However, for reasonably high value of , the chances of such events are negligible. Bit energy and symbol energy As we learned from the post discussing Bit error rate for 16PSK, since each symbol consists of bits, the symbol to noise ratio k times the bit to noise ratio i.e, where, . 16QAM BER From the post detaling the derivation of 16QAM Symbol error rate, we know that the symbol error is, . Combining the above two equations, the bit error rate for Gray coded 16QAM in Additive White Gaussian Noise is . Simulation model The Matlab/Octave script performs the following: (a) Generation of random binary sequence (b) Assigning group of 4 bits to each 16-QAM constellation symbol per the Gray mapping (c) Addition of white Gaussian Noise (d) Demodulation of 16-QAM symbols and (e) De-mapping per decimal to Gray conversion (f) Counting the number of bit errors (g) Running this for each value of Eb/No in steps of 1dB.

The $2$-bit 4-QAM symbol can have zero or one or two bit errors in it, and the probability that the symbol is in error is not the same as the probability that a bit is in error. –Dilip Sarwate May 2 '14 at 19:53 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 2 down vote accepted In $2^{2n}$-QAM with a square constellation, there are $4$ "corner" points and $4(2^n-2)$ "edge" points, and $(2^n-2)^2$ "interior" points. The conditional symbol error probabilities given that each type of point is transmitted, are $$\begin{align} P_e(\text{corner}) &= 2Q(x) - Q^2(x)\\ P_e(\text{edge}) &= 3Q(x) - 2Q^2(x)\\ P_e(\text{interior}) &= 4Q(x) - 4Q^2(x)\\ \end{align}$$

theoretical QAM Bit Error Rate or Symbol Error Rate reference curve. Parameters Name Type Range Block Diagram System Diagram N/A BER/SER Meter System BER/SER Meter N/A Modulation Type List of options N/A Statistic Type List of options N/A Result The measurement plots a theoretical QAM bit or symbol error probability along the y-axis and the swept variable (typically Eb/N0 or Es/N0) along the x-axis. The y-axis should normally be set to use log scaling. Graph Type This measurement can be displayed on a rectangular graph or tabular grid. Computational Details The measurement generates a reference curve based on the type and settings of the meter block selected in the BER/SER Meter setting. If the BER/SER Meter parameter is set to "Auto", the measurement will compute the bit error probabilities Pb for BER meters and symbol error probabilities Ps for SER meters. Values for Pb or Ps are calculated for each power value specified in the meter's SWPTV parameter. When M is an even power of 2 (M=2k, k is even) the following equations are used [1]: where Q(x) is the Gaussian integral or Q-function: and is approximated numerically, Es is the average symbol energy, N0 is the noise power spectral density and M is the number of signal levels. For other values of M an approximate upper bound is calculated from [1]: The measurement computes bit error probabilities from the symbol error probabilities using the following approximation [1]: This approximation assumes Gray coded square QAM constellations, which is not realizable for all values of M.
