Performance Evaluation of 3GPP-Standard Driven Polar Coded Modulation for 5G

This work provides a comparative study of the 5G new radio (NR) polar coding with different symbol modulation techniques and different delay profiles of NLOS channel. It has been observed that for the same remaining configurations, the block error rate and the block length error rate performances require higher amount of bit to noise ratio in 16-QAM modulation compared to the BPSK and QPSK modulation in both uplink and downlink transmission scenarios. In the next section, the impact of modulation on the signal received in a physical downlink control channel have been studied for different tapped delay profiles. The reported analyses carried out using the 3GPP guideline based 5G new radio model blocks of MATLAB 5G Toolbox can be further utilized for designing standard based 5G waveforms in different practical scenarios.
