Important information:

If you are using the simulator (or parts of it) for a publication, then you MUST cite our paper:

@inproceedings{CastanedaGoldsteinStuder:OneBitBeamforming:2017, author={O. Casta~neda and T. Goldstein and C. Studer}, journal={Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing}, title={{POKEMON}: A Non-Linear Beamforming Algorithm for 1-bit Massive {MIMO}}, month={Mar.}, year={2017} }

and clearly mention this in your paper. More information about our research can be found at: http://vip.ece.cornell.edu

How to start a simulation:

Simply run

POKEMON_MIMO_sim

which starts a simulation in a 128 BS antennas, 16 users massive MIMO system with QPSK modulation using ZF (with both infinite precision and 1-bit quantization) and 1-bit POKEMON as beamformers.

The simulator runs with predefined parameters. You can provide your own system and simulation parameters by passing your own "par"-structure (see the simulator for an example).

We highly recommend you to execute the code step-by-step (using MATLAB's debug mode) in order to get a detailed understanding of the simulator.
